Modelo de autocuidado de enfermería perinatal

The Self-Care Model of Perinatal Nursing at the National Institute of Perinatology (INPer) Mexico has as theoretical foundation to the General Theory of Self-Care and as methodological-practical axis the steps of the nursing method. With a close theoretical and practical relationship, the implementation of the model requires nurses specialized in perinatal care, who perform the care favoring the participation of the woman and family for the optimal development of the reproductive process, through the formation of a bond of Patient-family-nurse confidence. In the INPer is implemented with a range of 7 programs according to the reproductive process, such as: Self-care of sexual and reproductive health of adolescents, Self-care of the pregnant teenager, Risk detection and pre-pregnancy self-care in couples, Prenatal self-care in pairs, Birth care in pairs, Care and support for the couple during perinatal loss and posnatal family self-care with trinomial follow-up up to 28 days after birth. The model includes the breakdown of care that the perinatal nurse practitioner must provide to the people in each of the 7 specific programs with a self-care approach in pairs to strengthen the family bond, seeking the reduction of risks from the pre-gestational stage, care (not medicalized) in labor and delivery; privileging the physiological process in adherence to human rights, considering each one of the universal requirements of self-care.
