Collective prenatal care facilitated by educational technology: 1 perception of pregnant women

This article aims to explore the per-ception of pregnant women regarding collective prenatal care facilitated by educational technol-ogy, in the light of complexity thinking. Qualita-tive, exploratory and descriptive study conducted between August and November 2022. The par-ticipants were 19 pregnant women from a Fam-ily Health Strategy in the central region of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. Data were collected through individual interviews following prenatal meetings and analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis of the data revealed three thematic axes: Prenatal care: the necessary reconnection of knowledge; Collective prenatal care: collabora-tive (re)construction of experiences and practices; and Educational technology: tool to foster self -re-flection and self-knowledge. Collective prenatal care, facilitated by educational technology, can promote better practices in the pregnancy -post-partum journey by creating collaborative and shared environments for knowledge construction and enabling autonomous and informed deci-sion-making.
