Abstract
SANTINI, Tanise Pereira et al. Best Practices in Maternal and Child Health from the Perspective of Healthcare Professionals. Aquichan [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.1, 2. Epub July 17, 2023. ISSN 1657-5997. https://doi.org/10.5294/aqui.2023.23.1.2.
Objective:
To understand healthcare professionals’ perception of best practices in maternal and child health.
Materials and methods:
This qualitative exploratory-descriptive study was conducted between December 2020 and March 2021. The study corpus consisted of 23 healthcare professionals from southern Brazil. Data were collected using a semi-structured script and coded based on Minayo’s thematic content analysis proposed.
Results:
Data analysis enabled the delimitation of two thematic categories: “best practices in maternal and child health: from idealization to accomplishment” and “strategies to qualify the maternal and child healthcare network.”
Conclusions:
Healthcare professionals recognize the relevance of best practices in maternal and child health, although this process must be expanded and consolidated. Continuing education, hospitality, ambiance, improved access, and the professional-user connection stand out among the qualifying strategies.
Keywords : Nursing research; patient care team; continuing education; maternal and child health; health strategies.
