This is a descriptive, quantitative study which aims to describe the integration of the parturient woman's companion of choice during labor, delivery and immediate postpartum in health services linked to the Unified Health System (SUS) providing childbirth assistance in Santa Catarina, Brazil and to identify the aspects which facilitate or hinder this process. The population consisted of 138 state services. Data was collected from May 2010 to June 2011 through a questionnaire sent to the directors and by telephone contact, subsequently analyzed by descriptive statistics. Of the 135 departments surveyed, 54.8% reported that they always allow the companion to be present, 32.6% allowed them sometimes, 11.9% never allowed the companion and 0.7% did not respond. Most of the services allow the companion to be present. However, in some services this practice is still implemented with restrictions, as the parturient woman's choice is not respected and the presence of the companion is prevented during the birth.

O câncer de colo do útero no Brasil é a terceira neoplasia mais comum em mulheres e apresenta alta mortalidade. O objetivo foi o de avaliar a mortalidade por câncer de colo do útero, ocorrida no Estado de Santa Catarina, no período de 2000 a 2009. Estudo descritivo de base populacional, com a inclusão de todos os óbitos de mulheres, por câncer de colo do útero. Nos dados coletados do Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade, do Ministério da Saúde brasileiro, foram identificadas 1253 mortes de mulheres associadas a esta neoplasia. A taxa de mortalidade calculada variou no período entre 3,6 a 4,9 mortes por 100.000 mulheres, sendo mais elevada em mulheres com sessenta e mais anos. A enfermagem contribui para a construção da cultura de prevenção desta neoplasia, para realização dos testes diagnósticos e para a captação e o seguimento das mulheres de risco pela rede básica de saúde.
Hemorrhage represents a set of causes that focuses on women during the pregnancy and puerperal period, and that, with improper attention, results in death. The authors aimed to analyze maternal deaths related to hemorrhage that occurred in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The data were obtained from the Mortality Information System and Live Births Information System from the Brazilian Ministry of Health. This was a descriptive study, in which 491 maternal deaths that occurred in the period 1997-2010 were analyzed. Of these, 61 were related to hemorrhage, corresponding to 12.42%; postpartum hemorrhage was the most prevalent cause, with 26 deaths, followed by placental abruption with 15, representing 67.21% of the cases. The maternal mortality from hemorrhage is a public health problem in the state of Santa Catarina, due to its high prevalence and the fact that its underlying causes are preventable.
The study was developed to identify and analyze nursing practices in the literature related to the prevention and control of postpartum hemorrhage. Integrative review of on-line articles indexed in the databases MedLine, PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO, Embase, CINAHL and Web of Science (in the period between September 2013 and February 2014); search strategies by keywords and mesh descriptors were used. The 22 studies selected were categorized as: 1. Implementation of the active handling of the third stage of the delivery; 2. Use of Misoprostol; 3. Blood loss estimate; 4. Nursing training on the handling of postpartum hemorrhage; 5. Other handling measures to prevent postpartum hemorrhage; and 6. Use of technology to record data on postpartum hemorrhage. The present integrative review revealed that nursing professionals (midwives, nurses, traditional birth attendants), together with other professionals, have contributed to implement the active handling of the third stage of the labor, and to elaborate and implement protocols, trainings and assessments of results of this practice in the services. Despite the global recommendations to adopt the active management of third stage of labor, whenever a qualified professional delivers such care, this practice is still not broadly developed and implemented, even in the reference hospitals in Brazil and many other countries.
