It is an exploratory, descriptive research with a qualitative approach, whose object of study is the professional identity of obstetric nurses. This study aimed to describe the provisions incorporated by obstetric nurses and their links with training and with what they have experienced in the world of work, analyze the acts of belonging and the perception of acts of attribution of the professional identity of obstetric nurses and discuss the identity configurations obstetric nurses from the perspective of Claude Dubar. After approval by the Ethics Committee, through the Opinion under the number CAAE 18055319.0.0000.5282, 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted through the guidance of a script. Thematic categorical content analysis was carried out, following the three stages of Bardin (2011): pre-analysis, material exploration and interpretation. The data obtained were grouped into three categories and cut into Registration Units (URs): “Provisions incorporated by nurses during their socialization process” with 42 URs, “Acts of belonging and acts of attribution” with 61 URs and “Identity configurations presented by obstetric nurses ”with 37 RUs. The results of the first category showed that during the course of primary socialization, the provisions incorporated by the participants that influenced the choice of the profession were: financial autonomy through the study; the discipline; take care and respect others. In addition, when they entered the specialization, they acquired new capital added to the pre-existing ones, such as: administration, domain of the sector, notion of gender, care for pregnant women, health education, integrative practices, empathy and respect, active listening, singularity of subjects and integral look. The results of the second category showed that obstetric nurses see themselves as hardworking women who care for the home and children, who love the profession, defend the physiological and believe in normal childbirth without interventions, who have empathy, who empower women, who see the integrality and uniqueness of the individual without expressing judgments, who have a lot of knowledge and are invisible guardian angels. The results of the third category showed that the obstetric nurses were divided into two groups and showed traits compatible with the negotiating identity configurations for dominating professional knowledge, maintaining reciprocal collaboration with the institution and reconstructing the identity in a good way for themselves and for the institution, and affinity for not expressing belonging to the company, making sure that they are worth more than the position they occupy and for seeking to consolidate personal projects unrelated to those of the institution. It is concluded that a primary socialization of obstetric nurses influenced the professional choice and how they see themselves and believe to be seen. In addition, as they are inserted in a labor field that is not compatible with their real identity, they tend to spend time breaking off with the field and looking for a new space where they feel more recognized or they can also remain in the field and suffer psychological distress thus affecting their health.
