Objective: To understand the intentionality of the actions of companions during childbirth.
Methods: Qualitative phenomenological research developed in a rooming-in facility of a
teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Phenomenological interviews were carried out from
September 2016 to September 2017 with 14 companions who were present during childbirth.
Comprehensive analysis that used the theoretical framework of Alfred Schütz.
Results: the companions’ actions were being permanently present, encourage vaginal
delivery and support exercises and walking. The motivations were to reassure women to avoid
complications, and to minimize pain so that childbirth was quicker.
Conclusion: The companions’ actions were based on an obstetric technocratic model. The
study demonstrated the need to discuss and disseminate good practices in childbirth and
birth care, for the understanding of their contributions to the parturition process and their
social role.
