EDUCAÇÃO EM SAÚDE NO ALOJAMENTO CONJUNTO: RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA SOBRE O TREINAMENTO DE PUÉRPERAS NA MANOBRA DE DESENGASGO NEONATAL

Abstract

Objective: To report the experience of training postpartum women in the airway obstruction relief maneuver in newborns through a health education intervention in a rooming-in setting. Method: A descriptive study, of the experience report type, conducted by a nursing student in a public maternity hospital in the Midwest region of Brazil, from March to June 2025. The training was carried out at the bedside in an individualized manner for 71 postpartum women and their companions, using a low-fidelity neonatal manikin for demonstration and guided practice. Results: The practical evaluation indicated high immediate efficacy: 76.1% performed the technique correctly on the first attempt, and 100% achieved mastery after a maximum of two repetitions. By the end, all participants demonstrated greater confidence and autonomy in executing the technique. Conclusion: The intervention using a low-cost manikin proved effective in training postpartum women, reinforcing that health education during the puerperium, using simulation, is a viable and impactful strategy to reduce infant mortality risks and strengthen the bond between the nursing team and the family.
