Structuring an educational product about obstetric violence

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Obstetric violence, also considered institutional gender violence, is characterized by disrespectful acts towards women, their autonomy, their bodies and their reproductive processes. It can manifest itself through unnecessary interventions without scientific evidence and through physical, psychological, moral and sexual violence. OBJECTIVE: to describe the process of structuring an educational product to raise awareness among health professionals about obstetric violence. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This is a descriptive study of the experience report type on the development of an educational product in the format of a literary chronicle, developed in the period between August and November 2023, for the Educational Resources Discipline of a Professional Master's Degree in Teaching in Health and Technology from a Public University in Brazil. RESULTS: The product design and theoretical-methodological framework were developed based on the CTM3 Method and its three theories: Transactional Analysis, Multisensory and Neurolinguistics. CONCLUSIONS: It was evident that educational resources emerge as relevant tools in the teaching-learning process in the health context, above all, because they can favor critical self-analysis and, in this case, improve the quality of gynecological-obstetric care provided to women.
