Abstract

Objective: To understand the theoretical dimensions of nursing-midwifery care for women in labor during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: A qualitative study with 40 nurse-midwives. Data were collected from May to July 2021, through interviews, subjected to thematic content analysis and discussed in light of Jean Watson’s Theory of Transpersonal Human Caring. Results: The creative dimension encompassed the sixth, eighth and ninth elements of the process, manifesting itself in adaptations implemented in care. The humanistic and cultural dimensions were formed from the first, second, fourth and fifth elements, expressed in the way nurse-midwives care for, which subsidized the educational dimension, which encompassed the tenth element, as well as the spiritual dimension, elucidating the third element. Conclusion: The care provided by nurse-midwives to women in labor presented dimensions that permeated the ten elements of the Clinical Caritas process, enabling transpersonality in care in the face of COVID-19 control measures that, almost always, led to procedural, prescriptive and impersonal care.
