Abstract

Objective: To describe the strategies from the public administration for the implementation of the user embracement module from the Cegonha Carioca Program. Method: Qualitative study. Semi-structured interviews happened in the period from January to March 2013 with three superintendents of Children's and Maternity Hospitals responsible for the creation and implementation of the Carioca Program. Results: The strategies adopted by the public administration for the implementation of the user embracement module were: linking the prenatal care to a reference Maternity Hospital; the reorganization of the City's obstetric emergencies and the insertion of the obstetrical nurse in the user embracement module. Conclusion: The obstetrical nurse was inserted into these emergencies in order to put the user embracement practices into action, being recognized by the superintendents as a technical authority on the humanized obstetrical care.
