Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the repercussions of using the Birth Plan in the parturition process from the national and international scientific production. METHODS: Integrative literature review performed in the LILACS, PUBMED, CINAHL and SciELO, comprising 13 articles published in English, Spanish and Portuguese, in the period from 2008 through 2018. RESULTS: The construction of the Birth Plan during prenatal influences positively the process of parturition and maternal-fetal outcomes. Unrealistic expectations can cause dissatisfaction with the experience of childbirth. Care providers play a central role in supporting its planning and fulfillment. CONCLUSIONS: The analyzed publications justify the clinical implementation of the Birth Plan, once it represents an intensifying technology of humanized care and maternal satisfaction. There are still some challenges related to the use of this instrument concerning women's adherence and professional support to improve the fulfillment of the Birth Plans.
