Resumen:
El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las percepciones y representaciones que mujeres sin experiencia de parto tienen sobre la violencia obstétrica en Uruguay. Se busca visibilizar los discursos sociales que aun antes del embarazo, ya moldean el vínculo de las mujeres con el sistema de salud y con sus propios cuerpos. Se parte de la hipótesis de que la violencia obstétrica, como forma específica de violencia de género, no se limita a lo vivenciado durante el parto, sino que también opera de forma anticipada, a través de imaginarios, relatos y mandatos sociales. Desde una perspectiva crítica y de género en Trabajo Social, se desarrolló una investigación cualitativa de tipo exploratorio. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a once mujeres mayores de 18 años, sin hijos, con diversas trayectorias educativas, laborales y distintos niveles de acceso al sistema de salud (público o privado). A través del análisis temático, se identificaron seis categorías analíticas que guiaron la sistematización: representaciones sobre el parto; conocimiento de la violencia obstétrica; autonomía en la atención; temores e inseguridad; acceso a información y diferencias entre sistemas de salud. Los resultados evidencian que las entrevistadas tienden a representar el parto como una experiencia caótica, dolorosa y controlada por otros, donde predomina la desinformación y el temor. Aunque muchas desconocen el término “violencia obstétrica”, logran identificar prácticas abusivas o deshumanizantes desde relatos cercanos o intuiciones propias. Las entrevistadas expresan un fuerte deseo de mayor información, contención y acompañamiento.
The present study aims to analyze the perceptions and representations that women without childbirth experience hold regarding obstetric violence in Uruguay. It seeks to make visible the social that, even before pregnancy, already shape women's relationship with the healthcare system and with their own bodies. The underlying hypothesis is that obstetric violence, as a specific form of gender-based violence, is not limited to experiences during childbirth but also operates in anticipation through imaginaries, narratives, and social mandates. From a critical and gender perspective within Social Work, an exploratory qualitative research was conducted. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with eleven women over 18 years old, without children, from diverse educational and professional backgrounds, and with varying levels of access to the healthcare system (public or private). Through thematic analysis, six analytical categories were identified to guide the systematization: representations of childbirth; knowledge of obstetric violence; autonomy in care; fears and insecurity; access to information; and differences between healthcare systems. The results show that the interviewees tend to represent childbirth as a chaotic, painful, and externally controlled experience, where misinformation and fear prevail. Although many are unfamiliar with the term "obstetric violence," they manage to identify abusive or dehumanizing practices based on close narratives or their own intuitions. The interviewees express a strong desire for more information, support, and accompaniment.
