The perception of the puerperium behind bars

Abstract

The aim was to describe the perception of the puerperal woman deprived of freedom about the experience of this moment in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle. This is a documentary research, documentary review of a video sharing platform with Adobe Flash Player technology, which allows the display of your videos with quality, produced in the last five years. The selected documentaries allow us to infer that the feeling of abandonment, sadness, loneliness, and the desire for change portray the main perceptions of the woman who lives the puerperium under incarceration. Deficit of health professionals, neglect at the time of delivery, low number of consultations, lack of investments, omission, and negligence, represent fragments of the suffering reality experienced by women in the prison environment. Measures are necessary to avoid unnecessary suffering and health, in its broad concept, offered in a dignified way.
