1Universidade Federal do Pará. Belém, Pará, Brazil.
Objectives:
to understand the meanings attributed by obstetricians to planned home birth.
Methods:
this is a qualitative study carried out with 13 obstetricians from a regional hospital in Belém, Pará, recruited using the snowball sampling technique. Semi-structured interviews were used, recorded and transcribed in full to perform content analysis with the support of ATLAS ti 22.7 software.
Results:
there was a lack of sizing, support maternity wards and high purchasing power to guarantee childbirth. In addition to the lack of structure and professionals, the lack of knowledge on the subject and public policies constitutes an obstacle in the Brazilian health sector.
Final Considerations:
it is understood that, due to the meanings attributed by obstetricians, home birth constitutes a risk factor, especially due to the lack of structure and support in the Brazilian health system.
