ABSTRACT
Objective: To describe the trajectory of the insertion of obstetric nurses in the care of planned home birth in Rio Grande do Sul.
Method: Exploratory, qualitative study, with application of thematic oral history. All obstetric nurses who worked in planned home birth in the state participated in the study. Data were collected from December/2019 to March/2020, through interviews, and analyzed based on thematic content analysis.
Results: Two categories emerged: 1) Personal, training and professional experiences that encouraged obstetric nurses to enter the planned home birth; and 2) The search for autonomy, freedom, protagonism and respect in the care of delivery and birth as propellants for the insertion of obstetric nurses in the planned home birth.
Conclusion: Personal, training and professional experiences and discontent with hospital obstetric care in the state, considered interventionist and physician-centered, encouraged obstetric nurses to enter the planned home birth.
Keywords: Nursing. Obstetrics. Home childbirth.
