• Abstract:

  The partogram is a graphic representation of labor, seen as an excellent visual resource to monitor labor. However, it is observed that the partograms are not always completed in their entirety. Thus, the present study aims to analyze the difficulties encountered by professionals who assist women in labor with regard to the use and completion of the partogram. This is an integrative review type research. The inclusion criteria used were: full text available, in the LILACS, MEDLINE and BDEnf databases, from 2013 to 2023. After the bibliographic search, only 09 articles were part of the study because they brought more relevant information regarding the use of the partogram. For the analysis and discussion of the results found, the following category was created: Use of the partogram X difficulties X outcomes. After the discussion, it was concluded that despite being a mandatory practice, the proper use of the partogram is still a challenge. Therefore, it is believed that this research contributes positively to the improvement of assistance, trying to unravel and alleviate the difficulties in using and completing the partogram.
