| Popis: | Objective: knowing the experience of postpartum women regarding the companion during labour and childbirth in the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: descriptive-exploratory study with a mixed method approach, developed in two stages: use of the Termômetro da Iniciativa Hospital Amigo da Mulher e da Criança tool and semi-structured interviews between May and December 2020. The data obtained in the quantitative approach were analyzed descriptively, and qualitative data were analyzed according to Bardin's thematic content analysis, all of them were based on the conceptual basis of the positive experience in childbirth. Results: 81 women participated in the first stage of the study. All women reported that the companion was of their choice; 36% had a companion present at all hospitalization; 64% had no companion in joint accommodation. In the second stage, the subcategories emerged from the narratives: "Loneliness as a weakening: being alone in an unknown environment generates a feeling of helplessness" and "Support in the face of presences in times of pandemic". Conclusion: the findings reveal that women experienced the non-participation of the companion in the postpartum period as a process hindering the postpartum period, intensifying negative feelings and experiences. |
