Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the assistance of the obstetric nurses in a normal-risk maternity assistance through indicators of obstetric care, as well as to know their perspective about their insertion in the labor process. This is an evaluative and descriptive study using a mixed approach based on the assistance indicators for the period from May 2014 to December 2015, and data from interviews with five obstetric nurses working in normal-risk maternity care at Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. The data collection occurred between August and October 2016. The indicators were analyzed through descriptive statistics and the interviews through thematic analyses. The insertion of the obstetric nurse promoted reduction of practices considered harmful during labor assistance, generating positive impacts on the change of the care model of the institution.
