Portuguese / English: www.scielo.br/reeusp RESUMO Investiga-se a percepção de enfermeiras obstétricas sobre sua competência na atenção ao parto normal (PN) hospitalar. Os dados foram coletados em pesquisa qualitativa, através de entrevistas individuais semi-estruturadas, realizadas em um hospital universitário de Porto Alegre, e submetidos à análise de conteúdo. A análise foi embasada nos referenciais que definem competência profissional como a capacidade de mobilizar diferentes conhecimentos, dependendo dos problemas da prática a resolver. Para as entrevistadas, a competên-cia para atender o PN hospitalar é multidimensional, embora tenham enfatizado sua dimensão técnica. Essa ênfase é justificada pela insegurança resultante da falta de espaço para realizarem este atendimento, em função de disputas com médicos e deficiências na formação. O desejo de serem competentes no atendimento ao PN não se traduz, porém, na consciência das suas responsabilidades na transformação deste cenário. Isso sugere que, para agir nesta direção, seria necessário, não só desenvolver competência técnica, mas também ético-política. DESCRITORES ABSTRACTThe perception that obstetrical nurses have of their competence in assisting hospital deliveries has been investigated in this qualitative study. Data collection was performed through individual semi-structured interviews at a university hospital in Porto Alegre, and was then submitted to content analysis. The analyses were grounded on frameworks that define professional competence as the ability to mobilize different kinds of knowledge, depending on the practice problems to be solved. The obstetrical nurses understand competence in attending hospital deliveries as something multidimensional, although they have emphasized its technical dimension. This emphasis is justified through insecurity resulting from a lack of space to provide nursing care to hospital delivery, due both to disputes with physicians and to deficiencies in nurses' training. The desire to be competent in providing care during hospital deliveries has not been translated into awareness of their responsibilities in changing that scenario. This suggests that in order to act towards those desired changes, it would be necessary to develop not only technical but also ethical-political competence.
