- Abstract
The postpartum period is a time of biological, psychological and social transition for women. Thus, using nursing consultation as a tool for the work of nurses, assists puerperal women in this unique moment of their lives. This study aimed to assess puerperal consultation from the point-of-view of both the nurse, who performs it, and the puerperal mother, who receives it. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, with two different semi- structured scripts, being one used for the interview recorded with the 28 puerperae and another for the approach of the 10 nurses. The data were collected at 12 Family Health units in the city of Alfenas, Minas Gerais, state, in the second half of 2012. The material collected was subjected to the content analysis technique(9). After the analysis, three categories emerged: Postpartum Care: actions directed to the newborn; Postpartum: A forgotten maternal care? and Puerperal Consultation. It was verified that nursing consultation is received with satisfaction by postpartum women and, when at home, aggregates a greater value; that the focus is on the newborn's health care and that the nurses who use a script assist postpartum mothers in such a way that the latter are able to care for themselves during puerperal phase.
