RESUMO

The healthcare rendered during childbirth in Birth Centers (BC) is seen as a trend to be incorporated by several services of obstetrical units in Brazil. Studies focusing on the experience of care according to the woman`s perspective are scarce. The objective of this research was to describe the experience of women who received healthcare during childbirth in a BC. This qualitative used descriptive analysis as a research method. The method consisted of steps to read, analyze, transcribe, relate and listen to experiences, its essence is the primary access to the experience, exactly as presented by the person who experienced it. Analysis of the interviews was developed in an inductive and interpretative manner and resulted in the following categories describing the representation about the experience: a) The first healthcare received in the hospital; b) Experiences in the Birth Center in accordance with guidelines received from the professionals, care practices performed during the childbirth, procedures executed by the professionals, permanence of the professional in the healthcare environment, interpersonal relationship established by the professionals, presence of a patient companion, and perceptions related to pain; c) The hospital physical structure; and d) The demands for knowledge and guidance expressed by women. The central category Satisfaction with the care received summarizes the collective representation of the healthcare received in the BC. The positive experience described by the women, confirms the premises that the healthcare unit and its characteristics do influence the quality of healthcare during childbirth. This finding provides support to current public policy in Brazil, which recommends the implementation of BC throughout the country. It is up to the professionals working in this context to develop childbirth care in accordance with international recommendations.
