Abstract :
Maternal death is a serious problem of global
public health, in many of their cases associated with
cultural factors and “uses and customs”, this in the
different cultures where the problem arises. In Chiapas,
Mexico, the approach to traditional midwives represent
a concomitant element with aggravated births and need
the establishment of professionalization programs for
midwives. The objective of this study was to analyse the
perceptions of nurses about the impact of professional
midwifery on the first level of care A cross-sectional
investigation was conducted, showing n=100
participants. The results on the perceptions of nurses in
the face of professional midwifery at the first level of
care are ambiguous, on the one hand, they comprise the
main objective of the program and express the
motivation for the independent performance of prenatal
consulting, consider that a high impact would be
achieved in the contribution to the reduction of
maternal death. However, their perception of the
strategy of boosting professional midwifery in the State
of Chiapas is not entirely positive since 28% regard it as
an imposition, others as an irrelevant strategy and 6%
refer that these functions are the responsibility of those
who hold the code of license in nursing and obstetrics.
Adding difficulties that limit the effective performance
of comprehensive care to women in pregnancy,
childbirth, and low risk postpartum, highlighting little
support from managers, lack of training, lack of inputs,
complications of the binomial and medical apathy
