T
he World Health Organization has been disseminating home delivery in order to reduce maternal-neonatal morbidity and
mortality, with relevance in rural areas where more child births are attended with this characterization. The main objective
was to characterize the traditional birth in the Cofán-Dureno nationality, Sucumbíos 2016. It is a qualitative and non-experimental
study; Descriptive and cross-sectional study included women of childbearing age and caregivers resident in the Cofán community of
Dureno Parish, who, prior informed consent, conducted a survey; the information obtained was tabulated in a database in Microsoft
Excel. 78% have a free marital status, low education level, 8% illiteracy and 52% have completed primary education, 92% identified
themselves as indigenous to Cofán Nationality. 76% of the births were domiciliary, this birth in 38% of the cases was chosen by
custom, mostly using the vertical position, attended by midwives, with the presence of the spouses; the dress was a warm cloth coat,
and allowed food and drink. It is customary to bury the placentas. Complications are minimal and irrelevant. With the qualitative part
of the investigation it is concluded that the proper definitions on the home birth are the first option in this community guaranteeing
the respect to the Cosmo vision.
