    Introduction: Educational technologies (ET) are highly relevant tools for the production, dissemination, and transmission of knowledge. Within the field of Obstetric Nursing, these devices are used for health education and promotion activities, with the purpose of promoting the autonomy of pregnant women and their companions, thus strengthening good practices in childbirth and delivery.Objective:to evaluate the effects of educational technologies developed for labor and delivery.Material and method: A systematic review was developed according to JBI recommendations. The research question was formulated using the PICOS acronym, and its report was described according to PRISMA. Searches were conducted in the Pubmed/Medline, Cochrane, Scopus, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and grey literature databases, without idiomatic and/or temporal restrictions. The RoB-2 and Robins-I tools were used to assess the risk of bias, and GRADE was used to assess the quality of evidence.Results: 630 studies were retrieved, of which 7 comprised the final sample of the review. Pregnant women who used TE showed greater knowledge about the signs of labor and delivery, in addition to feeling more prepared to experience these moments. Among the companions, there was greater security and expansion of support actions for women, with increased autonomy and empowerment, which contributed to greater satisfaction of postpartum women in relation to childbirth.Conclusion:the use of educational technologies proved to be effective and promotes improved knowledge and satisfaction of pregnant women and their birth companions when used effectively, obtaining a “strong” degree of recommendation.

    Expresiones de violencia institucionalizada en el parto: una revisión integradora
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2016) do Nascimento Cassiano, Alexandra; dos Santos, Milena Gabriela; Soares dos Santos, Flávia Andréia Pereira; Miranda de Holanda, Cristyanne Samara; de Oliveira Maranhão, Tércia Maria; Enders, Bertha Cruz; Leite de Carvalho, Jovanka Bitencourt
    Este estudio tuvo como objetivo sintetizar la literatura científica publicada en artículos sobre las formas de violencia institucionalizada que se producen durante el parto. Se trata de una revisión integradora realizada en bases SCIELO, SCOPUS, PubMed y LILACS, utilizando los descriptores Childbirth AND “Parturition” AND “Obstetric” AND “Violence”. 13 artículos fueron seleccionados tras atender los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Del análisis de los estudios emergieron cinco categorías, a saber: violencia institucional en las relaciones de poder; violencia institucional al cuerpo femenino; violencia institucional a través de la comunicación; violencia institucional en la modalidad de servicio; y violencia institucional como una violación de los derechos. A pesar de que la literatura científica sobre el tema va en aumento, la cantidad de estudios es todavía incipiente y bajo el nivel de evidencia científica.

    (MDPI, 2023-01-13) Suarez Cortés, María; Castaño Molina, María de los Ángeles; Ramos Morcillo, Antonio Jesús; Molina Rodríguez, Alonso; Jiménez Ruiz, Ismael; Carrillo García, César; Harillo Acevedo, Francisco David; Hernández López, María Jesús; Enfermería
    Introduction (1): The COVID-19 pandemic led to changes in healthcare during pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. The objective of this study was to know the impact of visit restrictions, PCR performance and use of masks on delivery and puerperium care. Methods (2): A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out. A survey was used to assess the impact of COVID-19-related measures on women who had given birth in hospitals in the Region of Murcia, Spain, between March 2020 and February 2022. Results (3): The final sample size was 434 women. The average scores were 4.27 for dimension 1 (Visit restrictions), 4.15 for dimension 2 (PCR testing) and 3.98 for dimension 3 (Mask use). More specifically, we found that the restriction of visits was considered a positive measure for the establishment of the mother–newborn bond (mean score 4.37) and that the use of masks at the time of delivery should have been made more flexible (mean score 4.7). Conclusions (4): The policy of restricting hospital visits during the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has been considered beneficial by mothers, who expressed that they did not feel lonely during their hospital stay.

    Perineal protection methods: knowledge and use
    (Universidade de São Paulo, Escola de Enfermagem, 2021-09-01) López Martínez, Esther María; Avilés Sáez, Zaraida; Hernández Sánchez, Encarnación; Camacho Ávila, Marcos; Marín Conesa, Ester; Conesa Ferrer, María Belén; Enfermería
    Objective: To analyse the knowledge and use of perineal protection methods during the expulsive stage by health professionals involved in childbirth and whether they correspond to the World Health Organization’s recommendations. Method: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study aimed at health workers involved in births in Spain. Results: Fifty-seven professionals participated in the study: midwives (47%), gynaecologists (25%), nurse residents (14%) and resident physicians (14%) in obstetrics and gynaecology. The degree of knowledge and use of perineal protection methods differed according to the position held and was very limited among gynaecologists and resident physicians. The only method recognized by all positions was “hands on” (p = 0.05). “Hands off ” (p = 0.002), “delayed pushing” (p = 0.0001) and “maternal posture” (p = 0.03) were only known to midwives and nurse residents. “Flexion technique” (p = 0.035) and “delayed pushing” (p = 0.011) were used effectively by midwives and nurse residents. “Episiotomy” was erroneously identified as a method to protect the perineum by gynaecologists and resident physicians (p = 0.003). Conclusion: The degree of knowledge and use of perineal protection methods by health care professionals does not correspond to the recommendations of the World Health Organization. ---------------------

    Repercusiones de la mutilación genital femenina en el parto y la sexualidad. Una revisión sistemática
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de publicaciones, 2025) Calderón Fernández, María; Partida Márquez, Antonio Luis; Garrido Bueno, Miguel; Moya Ruiz, Tamara; Pabón Carrasco, Manuel; Sin departamento asociado
    Introduction:Female genital mutilation is a practice with deep cultural roots in some African and Asian countries, justified as a rite of passage into adulthood. Various international organizations consider it a form of violence against women, with negative repercussions on their physical, psychological, reproductive, and sexual health.Material and Methos: To understand its repercussions on reproductive health, a systematic review of recent scientific literature was conducted, selecting six articles. The search was conducted between November 2023 and September 2024 in databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL. DeCS and MeSH descriptors were used in combination with Boolean operators. Study selection followed the PRISMA 2020 and Cochrane guidelines, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two researchers independently assessed the relevance of the studies, with a third resolving discrepancies. The methodological quality and risk of bias of the articles were assessed using the SIGN scale and JBI items.Results: Six scientific articles published between 2018 and 2024 in various scientific journals were analyzed. All six articles included samples from different African countries.Conclusion: The literature reviewed establishes a relationship between female genital mutilation and longer labor duration, a higher rate of cesarean sections, more perineal tears, a greater need for episiotomy, and a higher risk of postpartum hemorrhage
