Abstract
Objective: This article sought to discuss the humanization of childbirth and its methods of operation, with the objective of describing the role of the nurse in the humanized care provided during normal labor. Bibliographic review: In view of the above, it was observed that the nurses seek to guide the women on the evolution of childbirth and its respective phases, and thus provide them with greater physical and emotional comfort. Besides encouraging them to adopt positions that favor the descent of the fetus, they also contribute in the reduction of unnecessary interventions, such as episiotomy, and guide them on non-pharmacological methods and their benefits. Final considerations: It is concluded that, in fact, the nursing team as a whole contributes positively in this phase through the practice of humanization, making it necessary that the professionals involved keep their conduct always updated and based on scientific evidence in order to maintain good practices of assistance based on the principles of humanization.
