The partogram is a graphical representation of labor, seen as an excellent visual
resource for observing cervical dilation and fetal presentation in relation to time. It is a
communication tool that helps to gain immediate knowledge of the evolution of labor
and includes information on fetal heart rate, uterine size, drug use, and other important
factors. Therefore, the partogram is essential for the follow up of the birth. However, it
is observed that partograms are not always fulfilled in their totality. Thus, the present
study aims to analyze the difficulties found by professionals who provide assistance to
women in labor regarding the use and completion of partograph based on published
articles. It is a literature-type research based on the search for articles published in full.
The inclusion criteria used were: full text available, in the LILACS, SCIELO, MEDLINE
and BDEnf database, in Portuguese, of the types articles, theses and monographs,
from 2008 to 2018. After the bibliographic search, only 7 articles were part of the study
because they provided more relevant information on the use of the partogram. For the
analysis and discussion of the results found in the bibliographic survey, the following
categories were elaborated: Insufficient knowledge about the partogram filling;
Inadequate communication among professionals; Inadequate understanding of the
importance of partograph and quality care; and difficulties in the use / completion of
the Partogram by the professional attitude. After the discussion, it was concluded that
the difficulties in the use and full filling of the partograph goes beyond just a difficulty
in knowing how to fill out, involving many more factors. Therefore, although it is a
obligation, it is still a challenge for the proper use of the partograph. Therefore, it is
believed that this research was considered positive for the improvement of care, trying
to unravel and ease the difficulties in using and filling the partograph.
