Resumen

El empoderamiento femenino es un concepto en alza en el entorno sanitario, especialmente en el cuidado perinatal. El proceso formativo universitario de las futuras enfermeras y matronas tiene una gran influencia en su actitud profesional posterior. Para educar con una orientación empoderadora, las universidades deben conocer el punto desde el que parten: las percepciones de los estudiantes sobre esta cuestión. Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo transversal en la Universidad de Huelva, utilizando un cuestionario semiestructurado de elaboración propia para obtener datos cualitativos y cuantitativos. 117 estudiantes de enfermería respondieron a la encuesta. Los participantes consideraron que las enfermeras generalistas apoyan el trabajo de las matronas y actúan como facilitadoras del empoderamiento de las mujeres en el periodo perinatal. Expresaron la creencia de que la matrona es el profesional de referencia en este periodo y en el que depositan mayor confianza. Las propuestas de mejora para ambos colectivos apuntan a su formación y a los recursos de los que disponen. Para afianzar el desarrollo de estas profesiones como agentes empoderadores de las mujeres es preciso un mayor esfuerzo educativo en su periodo de formación universitaria.
