CONCLUSION
The reality presented in this study warned about the extent to which puerperae are scarred during the moments of their labors - scars that are described by feelings of pain, sorrow, suffering and deception and represented by moments of anxiety, braveness and especially fear - of pain, of the procedures and of their child's health condition.
However, it is evident that good feelings, such as faith and love, emerged as their children were born, as they finally, in their perceptions, had their reward after a tough time.
It is important to recognize that childbirth is unique for every woman. The feelings and moments are exclusive, but many of them can be noticed singularly and made plural, such as the need for support, listening and particularly information for these women, given that a high-risk pregnancy is a moment of higher biological, physiological and emotional instabilities.
It is noticed that the practices adopted for these moments are not effective for the care of high-risk pregnant women who are being submitted to induced labor. This contributed to the appearance of negative feelings during this moment, so unique and feminine.
As shown in the study, fear marks its presence for a while during these women's labor. Fear is related to the unknown; therefore it can be noticed that the parturients deliver their babies without any previous knowledge of how the labor induction process works, nor its implications and its possible outcomes.
It is necessary to change healthcare models for high-risk pregnant women in order to provide them with better preparation for the birth process, beginning with the prenatal period. Nurses, especially obstetric nurses who work with the medical staff, must incorporate non-technological practice to use with the woman and her family for relieving possible discomforts during this important moment.
The significant role of obstetric nursing must transcend invasive and pharmacological procedures that cause painful feelings, offering more comfort and ease for the woman during the process of labor induction.
An effective communication between healthcare professionals, high-risk women and their families is crucial for reducing feelings such as dissatisfaction and guilt.
Certain practices discussed in this study make women discontent, discouraging them from future pregnancies.
It is hoped that this study enables healthcare professionals to reach a new overview, especially those who assist women experiencing this specific process and those who are responsible for the caring science. A comprehensive and holistic care that meets the demands of the mother-baby pair at risk is needed.
With regard to the limitations of a qualitative study, the number of participants was small, which may cause the minor possibility of generalizations.
