WEAKNESS OF HEALTH CARE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN: THE IMPORTANCE OF THE EXPERIENCE OF MEDICAL STUDENTS IN A REFERENCE MATERNITY (Atena Editora)

Abstract

The following article is an academic experience report of the Extension Project Observatory of Care of the Nova Esperança Medical School, together with the Cândida Vargas Institute, targeting women with obstetric complaints. A methodology of weekly visits, in pairs, was established, where students could interact with users and have a complete experience. In view of the conversations developed, great vulnerability was observed, for which a posture of support, counseling and encouragement was adopted. The exchange of reports and the change in the way of looking at the patient brought benefits for both students, who improved the approach and care for the patient, and for pregnant women, who could have a more human and peaceful experience. This experience highlighted the deficit of present care and the importance of the experience of qualified listening and humanized care for training, making professional academics completer and more sensitive.
