Summary:This text presents a study-carried out at a healthcare unit in Salvador/Bahia, with the purpose of building quality indicators for nursing care from a gender perspective. The construction of the indicators occurred by means of an investigation that analyzed women's ideas about the pre-natal nursing assistance provided to them, based on the identifications of actions that promote autonomy, merit, and participation. Data collecting was based on a semi-structured interview with 14 women that are users of prenatal nursing care and accepted to participate in this study and had also been cared by a nurse in a previous pregnancy or during the present one. Two kinds of gender indicators in nursing care were built: practical indicators and strategic gender indicators.
