- Abstract
Objective: To identify the evidence about educational technologies used during pregnancy with women and companions to promote positive childbirth experiences. Methods: This is an integrative review conducted in LILACS, Scopus and Web of Science electronic databases in October 2022, where 5,553 productions were found, of which 32 were included in the study for analysis. Results: The technologies included educational guidance, prenatal support groups, birth plans, pamphlets, booklets, and individualized guidance that enabled positive experiences, such as spontaneous onset of labor, control in the childbirth process, pain relief, reduction of interventions, active participation of the companion, and births assisted in appropriate places and by skilled professionals. Conclusion: The technologies promote positive childbirth experiences, as they present favorable repercussions on the application of non-pharmacological pain relief methods, lower rates of labor induction, higher number of vaginal births, and greater participation of the woman and her companion in decision-making during labor and delivery.
