Abstract

Objective: To analyze the adherence to the partner's prenatal care from the perspective of pregnant women. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, approved by the Research Ethics Committee, with 84 pregnant women between April and October 2019, in Family Health Strategies in the urban area of a municipality of interior of Pará. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics software. Results: The highest percentage declared themselves to be brown (60; 71.4%), stable union (36; 42.9%), high school (54, 64.3%), with 0 to 1 child (67; 79, 8%). About 70% did not know the partner's prenatal care, 22.6% were informed by the nurse, 33.3% of the partners accompanied the pregnant women in their consultations, 6% performed the prenatal care and 87.3% would like the partner be more participatory. Regarding non-adherence to the program, 45.6% declared the partner's work as the main reason. Conclusion: Most pregnant women are unaware of the program and claim that they were not informed by the nurses. From the perspective of pregnant women, most would like their partner to participate, but few men do prenatal care, confirming the hypothesis of low adherence.
