Abstract
Objective: To evaluate puerperal care within the primary health care network. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, developed in nine Basic Health Units (UBS), in a municipality in the PE. For the calculation of the sample, a stratified sampling was used and the prevalence of 50% was adopted, admitting the study of finite populations. The final sample was 156 records. Results: As puerperal women age between 15 to 35 years (84.1%), single marital status (39.2%) and the majority defined high school (26.3%). Of the 156 medical records acquired, 114 had documented postpartum consultation, covering 73.1%, with the majority (55.8%) being performed by nurses. There was a high prevalence of records of vital signs and conducts performed. Conclusion: It was observed that most women had access to puerperal consultation, however, attention was paid to the poor records of the medical records. It is necessary to carry out more research to better understand the scenario addressed and identify the causes of record failures.
