“…Clavero et al [ 58 ] assert that the technology applied to birth (caesarean sections and the use of forceps, among others) is useful insofar as it has helped human development evolve, and that therefore, it would be very difficult for women to give birth if this technology didn’t exist. In short, healthcare professional reticence is founded in not just the discourse on (lack of) home birth safety, as explained by Authors [ 59 ], but also stems from a patriarchal dominant structure that conditions women’s behaviour and reproductive health.…”

Background Birth cultures have been transforming in recent years mainly affecting birth care and its socio-political contexts. This situation has affected the feeling of well-being in women at the time of giving birth. Aim For this reason, our objective was to analyse the social meaning that women ascribe to home births in the Chilean context. Method We conducted thirty semi-structured interviews with women living in diverse regions ranging from northern to southern Chile, which we carried out from a theoretical-methodological perspective of phenomenology and situated knowledge. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to analyse the information collected in the field work. Findings A qualitative thematic analysis produced the following main theme: 1) Home birth journeys. Two sub-categories: 1.1) Making the decision to give birth at home, 1.2) Giving birth: (re)birth. And four sub-categories also emerged: 1.1.1) Why do I need to give birth at home? 1.1.2) The people around me don’t support me; 1.2.1) Shifting emotions during home birth, 1.2.2) I (don’t) want to be alone. Conclusion We concluded that home births involve an intense and diverse range of satisfactions and tensions, the latter basically owing to the sociocultural resistance surrounding women. For this reason, they experienced home birth as an act of protest and highly valued the presence of midwives and their partners.

“…El nacimiento humano desde finales del siglo XIX (68) ha estado relegado principalmente a los espacios institucionales sanitarios, privando de libertad y autonomía a las mujeres que lo llevan a cabo, producto de su representación social, la cual ha sido construida bajo nociones tecnocráticas y biopolíticas, anulando el domicilio como espacio seguro y válido para dar a luz.…”

El parto en domicilio ha complejizado la epistemología del nacimiento cuestionando la institucionalidad. Así surge el interés por conocer las narrativas que las mujeres chilenas le otorgan al escenario del parto en domicilio. Entre octubre de 2018 y enero de 2019, se entrevistó a 30 mujeres utilizando elementos de los mapeos corporales. Mediante el análisis temático emergió la categoría central geo(corpo)grafías del parto en domicilio, que implica un despliegue del cuerpo material/simbólico que permite que el nacimiento suceda; y tres subcategorías: crear el escenario ideal para el parto, que responde a imaginar y concretar el espacio ideal del nacimiento; el mejor lugar para parir dejando fluir los instintos, que se construye a partir de sentir y escuchar el cuerpo; y resignificar el escenario ideal, que implica otorgar un nuevo significado al domicilio para dar a luz. Las narrativas geo(corpo)gráficas del parto en domicilio reconocen la corporalidad y la disposición de este en el espacio, y permiten socializar el nacimiento y difuminar la barrera entre lo público y lo privado.

Female empowerment is a key concept in the current healthcare environment, especially in perinatal care. The educational process offered by universities to train future nurses and midwives has a great influence on their professional attitude and performance. To be able to educate in a way that encourages empowerment, it is essential for higher education institutions to know the starting point relating to students’ opinions on the subject. It was conducted a cross-sectional descriptive observational study, at the University of Huelva. It used a self-developed, semi-structured questionnaire, previously validated, to gather quantitative and qualitative data. A total of 117 nursing student were surveyed. Participants consider that general nurses supplement the work of the midwife and acts as a facilitator for the process of women’s empowerment in the perinatal period. They believe that the midwife is the professional figure of reference and the one in which they place greater trust. Improvement proposals for both types of professionals are based on improving training and resources. To encourage the development of the profession and improve the quality of care, it is essential to introduce features related to women’s empowerment in the undergraduate training of future nurses and midwives.
