Attitudes of interprofessional collaboration in childbirth care of women with high-risk pregnancy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The aim was to understand the attitudes of interprofessional collaboration in childbirth care for women with high-risk pregnancy. This is a qualitative study with 19 health professionals from the obstetric center of a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected from February to April 2022 through semi-structured interviews and processed in IRAMUTEQ. Descending hierarchical classification shows that collaborative attitudes are more frequent among professionals in the same category and routines that are in line with interprofessional collaboration. Despite having knowledge about collaborative attitudes, these do not materialize in care, given the weaknesses identified in the four domains of interprofessional collaboration: relational, expressed in hierarchical relationships; procedural, related to communication problems; organizational, given the lack of recognition of this domain by participants; and contextual, manifested in the cooperation perceived only among professionals in the same category.
