ALBUQUERQUE, Raylla; AMADO RABELO, Daniela  e  MONSORES, Natan. Obstetric Violence and Bioethics: Perception of Brazilian Health Students. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.1, pp.45-60.  Epub 30-Jun-2023. ISSN 1657-4702.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.5794.

the research has an exploratory qualitative approach to identify health students’ perception of obstetric violence and its relationship with a bioethical perspective based on the postulates of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights. For this purpose, an electronic questionnaire was applied to 102 health students, the majority female, up to 25 years of age, and inhabitants of the Federal District, Brazil, without children. From the answers, it is possible to perceive that knowledge about obstetric violence does not necessarily occur in the formal academic context, having considerable importance in the debate among students and other sources of information, such as the internet and media. Concerning knowledge of Bioethics, although most of the participants claimed to have, it is perceived that it was limited in terms of the meaning of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights and its application in the specific case. It is concluded that there is a significant gap in the ethical training of health professionals and that the academic community should stimulate the development of critical thinking in their students instead of inhibiting it.
