Factores asociados en cumplimiento del parto intercultural: Una revisión sistemática

Abstract

Intercultural childbirth is a practice in health centers or at home, especially in mestizo or indigenous communities worldwide. Pregnant women during delivery may present risks and complications without adequate knowledge about childbirth management. This research aims to systematize the available scientific evidence on factors associated with intercultural childbirth. Methodology: Qualitative research was conducted using a systematic literature review. It was carried out through the PRISMA method to search scientific evidence using computer tools from 2017-2022. Results: A total of 12 studies in this research focus on describing intercultural childbirth, its factors and complications. In conclusion, most women in indigenous communities recognize intercultural childbirth as a private practice in which community members and close relatives participate. The midwife plays an important role during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum using ancestral practices focused on the well-being of the pregnant woman and the baby.
