Abstract:

Abstract This study aims to know the perception of the high-risk pregnant women related to nursing care in a teaching hospital. This is a qualitative, descriptive study conducted in November 2016 through semi-structured interview, individually applied and recorded with nine women hospitalized, whose analysis was carried out according to Minayo’s operative proposal. Data were grouped into two categories: nursing care in the view of women experiencing high-risk pregnancies; and feelings experienced by high-risk pregnant women. The results point to the importance of nurses in care for pregnant women, by providing support and attention to their demands. Nursing care in this hospital was satisfactory according to the concept of those pregnant women, being perceived in enough quality and humanized, providing respect and appreciation on the needs arising from the hospitalization.
