Abstract

Objective: to learn the interrelationship between the implementation of care practices proposed in the Program for the Humanization of
Prenatal and Childbirth Care and the workloads in the work process of nurses in obstetrics centers and maternity hospitals. Method: a qualitative and
descriptive study was carried out with 14 nurses at two obstetrics and maternity centers of two hospitals in southern Brazil. Data were gathered from
October 2015 to January 2016 through semi-structured interviews, explored with content analysis. Results: two categories emerged: ‘Attenuation of
workloads’, in which biological and psychic workloads stand out, and ‘Amplification of workloads’, with biological, mechanic and psychic workloads
standing out. Conclusion: the way and context in which workloads are processed make them attenuated or amplified when implementing practices
proposed in the Program for the Humanization of Prenatal and Childbirth Care.
