SUMMARY Permanent complaints have been received at different health institutions from women at childbirth regarding attention by the health-care personnel. Such information concerning mistreatment or neglect, intolerant or inconsiderate attitudes, bad temper and impoliteness has been corroborated by infirmary students and professionals in contact with pregnant women. In order to asses this aspects, it was determined to carry out a study in a level II health-care institution, located in the Department of Cundinamarca (Colombia), with the prime objective of creating a health model with particular emphasis in the care of the mother during work of childbirth and childbirth, based on theoretic fundaments, result of a research process and experiences of the investigator in this area. The information for the study was gathered among a group of 80 women in puerperium stage, entering the hospital pursuing medical attention. From the surveyed females, 41% identified the nurse, 38% did not identify him/her and 11% identified the nurse, but did not have any contact with him/her. Only 24 women out of the 33 who identified the nurse, received some type of care. These results justified the elaboration of a humanization model of infirmary care for pregnant women, previous to, during, and after childbirth, that applies more specifically to the institution where the studio was carried out.
