Perspectives of university young people on the experience of normal children

The Youth Statute considers young people aged between 15 and 29 years to be young, who have the right to health ensured by the Federal Constitution of 1988. Currently, women in this age group are still susceptible to unwanted pregnancies, and in these cases, they will need support to live it healthily, including the necessary knowledge to choose the mode of delivery that will best suit their physiological possibilities. In this sense, the nursing professional must play an important role in the process of carrying out reproductive planning. Within this context, this study seeks to verify the perceptions of university students, aged 18 to 20 years old, about the perspectives of experiencing normal childbirth. For this, a quantitative research was carried out, with the application of a structured questionnaire with closed questions, at a University in the metropolitan region of Recife. Young university students aged 18 to 22 years participated. It is worth noting that this study respects CNS Resolution 466-2012. The information obtained in this study found that, the interviewed subjects do not yet have a psycho-emotional maturity formed about a future parturitive experience, we recommend improving access to the information necessary for the autonomy of the young women in relation to their first pregnancy.
