Os sentidos do risco na gravidez segundo a obstetrícia: um estudo bibliográfico.

Abstract

This study analyzes the meaning of high-risk pregnancy in articles published by a representative Brazilian journal in the field of Obstetrics in the 1990s. The methodological approach includes the quantitative and qualitative analysis of 40 articles, which reveals a diversity of meanings attributed to high-risk pregnancy and a reduced discussion on the theme. The conclusion shows the need to include an interdisciplinary approach to the theme by taking into account the complexity of the aspects involving women's participation in pregnancy care.
