Abstract

The aim of the research was to analyze the risk and protection factors related to family issues in two cases of puerperal women who experienced a normal childbirth with humanized assistance. A semi-structured interview was conducted to investigate the pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum and a socio-demographic questionnaire. For the analysis of the data, it was performed a qualitative analysis with content analysis. The active participation of the spouse could be understood as the main factor of protection. It was observed the constitution of the family relationship since before the moment of pregnancy can directly influence the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. It is considered that the risk and protection factors experienced during pregnancy perpetuate during the puerperium and increased by the demands of maternity. It is suggested a greater investment from health professionals in interventions for consolidation and structuring of the support network during pregnancy and postpartum.
