Abstract

Introduction: The abortion introduces a range of complexities in the field of health, being necessary to analyze it from different approaches. Objective: Thus, this present review outlines a brief overview of its anthropological, historical and political dimensions, in order to obtain elements to understand the difficulties that interfere with the humanization of care. Method: Therefore, a literature review, in a socio-historical perspective of authors with recognized reports on the subject was conducted, as much as research published in the last seven years that evaluates and analyzes the care provided to adults and adolescent women in situations of abortion in health services under the Brazilian Public Universal Health Care System. In this article, the official documents of the Ministry of Health regarding the National Humanization Policy and the Technical Standard of humanization to abortion were taken as guiding texts for a definition of a humanized care practice. Conclusion: The obstetric care scenarios, described by the researchers concluded that there is still a significant gap between what is recommended and the assistance that has been provided, making it necessary to denature forms of assistance already crystallized to reach a new health care paradigm in situations of abortion.
