Abstract
Objective: To identify the proportion of single-child, full-term deliveries attended by midwives and/or student midwives, as well as to explore the outcomes associated with these deliveries in terms of both patient care and health, for both mothers and newborns. Methodology: Prospective observational study with a minimum sample size estimated of 352 births attended in the Health Area of Valladolid Oeste for the period between February 1st and June 1st, 2017. It was followed a consecutive data collection and we value 11 independent variables and 28 dependent variables. The variables were associated with the scale of Bologna Score which range of score is 0-5. Results: 368 cases were collected. Most women were attended by midwives/ midwifery residents during the admission and during the second stage of labor. The Bologna Score obtained was 3,13. Discussion: The Bologna Score was lower than hospitals from the same stratum even though midwives care for a higher percentage. Conclusions: The III and IV variables of the Bologna Score (absence of labor augmentation and positions opposed to lithotomy position) are stablished as improvement areas. The relationship between prelabor duration and interventionism and maternal complications outstanding among maternal outcomes. The skin-to-skin contact and the early initiation of breastfeeding rates decrease in instrumental births and cesareans outstanding among neonatal outcomes.
