Objective:
To assess care during labor and delivery in habitual risk maternity units in a capital in southern Brazil.
Method:
It is an evaluation research, retrospective, quantitative, developed in three hospitals. The variables relating to the Bologna Score (presence of a companion, use of partograph, absence of stimulation to labor, delivery in non-supine position; skin-to-skin mother with newborn) were collected in 406 records, tabulated in spreadsheets and submitted to simple frequency analysis. Collection lasted from June to September 2014.
Results:
The assigned scores range from 0 to 5, according to the performance or not of practical activities. The following scores were obtained: 0 (7%); 1 (44,1%); 2 (40,4%); 3 (12,1%), 4 (2,5%), e 5 (0,2%).
Conclusion:
In the usual risk maternities evaluated, the labor and birth care provided do not match the standards recommended by the World Health Organisation.
