The everyday of a heart disease high-risk pregnancy: phenomenological study of care relashionships a

摘要

Objective: To unveil care relationships of women in high-risk pregnancy due to heart disease. Methods: Qualitative phenomenological research. Qualitative phenomenological study conducted with 17 participants, who were interviewed in a reference institution for maternal risk, and the meanings expressed were analyzed under Martin Heidegger's philosophy. Results: Women said that they were questioned by doctors about their pregnancy and while they knew that cardiologists may give their opinions, obstetricians were the ones who would decide the type of childbirth they would undergo. Conclusion: Care relationships ruled by pathophysiological view of gestational follow-up and scarcity of the nursing staff providing care for pregnant women were in evidence. If on the one hand the results point to the need for an existential relationship that considers women as beings endowed with possibilities, on the other hand, they reveal the importance of nursing care in addressing the needs of pregnant women with heart disease, in the prospect of making it perceived and announced by being-care .
