Abstract

Objective: To identify the coverage, in the Information Science literature, of themes related to the information behaviour of women in Brazil, in the search for information on childbirth options, focussing at this time on caesarean section due to the prevalence of this type of childbirth in Brazil.
Methodology: We created seven search expressions to carry out a bibliographic survey in the interdisciplinary databases (WoS, Scopus, SciELO), Information Science (LISTA, E-LIS) and Health (LILACS, PubMed) and Google Scholar. The methodological approach was exploratory-descriptive, with qualiquantitative analysis of the collected bibliographic data.
Results: Using stepwise expressions, adding one term at a time (including compound terms), the more detailed the search expression that better described the research object, the fewer records were retrieved. In all the databases, the result for the final expression was null, with the exception of Scopus, retrieving only one record and Google Scholar, 44 among which, after reading the abstracts, we identified only seven relevant records.
Conclusions: The small number of bibliographic records of retrieved articles indicates that this topic still needs to be discussed and researched in the context of research on information for women's health.
