RIBEIRO RODRIGUES, María Augusta. Exploratory analysis of childbirth care in Nicaragua from the framework of sexual and reproductive rights. Anuario de Estudios Centroamericanos [online]. 2018, vol.44, pp.399-427. ISSN 2215-4175.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/aeca.v44i0.34187.

With the objective of exploring the quality of delivery care and the exercise of obstetric violence during childbirth, this research analyzed women’s delivery experiences. The primary data were collected through a questionnaire applied in 2013 to 24 women. Through the analyzed indicators, it is verified that the care during labor and delivery still do not incorporate the quality standards, ignoring the scientific evidence and violating women’s health rights: 89 % declared not having exercised the informed consent. This study confirms the unsatisfactory fulfillment of the recommendations of the WHO for the care of childbirth and the violation of the human rights of the women in the framework of the care of the childbirth in Nicaragua.
