Abstract

Objective: to analyze the social representations of puerperal women and health professionals about
obstetric violence. Method: a multimethod research guided by the Theory of Social Representations
and conducted in two maternities in the state of Ceará - Brazil, with 28 health professionals and 283
puerperal women from November 2018 to January 2019, using the Free Word Association Test. The
data were analyzed by means of Correspondence Factor Analysis in the TriDeux Mots 5.3 program.
Results: it was observed that obstetric violence was anchored, by health professionals, in violent
practices, which encompass from rude language to interventions based on weak evidence. In turn,
the puerperal women perceived it in the absence of information, the treatment received and the
deprivation of their rights. Conclusion: social representations about obstetric violence are revealed
by the technical and normative aspects of the obstetric practice evoked by the health professionals
and are signified by puerperal women in the behavioral and relational elements perceived and felt
during the parturition process.
