Abstract

This descriptive quantitative study aimed
to evaluate puerperas’ opinions regarding experiencing
the presence of the companion in the process of birth
and puerperium, in a public maternity unit, a center
of excellence for high risk pregnancies, in the State of
Paraná. Data collection occurred between August and
September 2012 with 105 puerperas, using a semistructured questionnaire. The presence of the companion
was considered positive, and the tasks he undertook
provided the puerpera with security, especially for care
for her and the baby. It stood out that the service users
wish to have a companion, regardless of the institution’s
structural conditions.
