Creencias y factores de la atención del parto en comunidades rurales en América 2005-2020

Abstract

Introduction: in the research, a rural community context is developed and how childbirth is carried out, according to the beliefs of each person in the community. Objectives: to know the way in which the beliefs associated with childbirth have an impact on the different rural communities located in America, between the years 2005-2020. Material and method: review of the literature from 2005 to 2020 in the SciELO database, Pubmed, Google Scholar, Uptodate. Results: indigenous communities in Mexico and Peru share beliefs associated with the placenta, which have a main point in common, which is related to fetal well-being and the spiritual management of the process. On the other hand, in Venezuela and Peru, the reasons for delivery care in the respective homes of indigenous women and families are indicated, one of these being geographic barriers and accessibility to health centers. Conclusions: it is a topic in which there is still a lot to investigate and put into practice, since not all the countries of the Americas have public policies on considering interculturality at the time of delivery in health centers.
