Abstract

BARBOZA, Edcarla Melissa Oliveira; DE AVELAR, Telma Costa; TORRES, Juliana Carneiro  and  NASCIMENTO, Thayrine Bezerra do. Subjective urgency in high-risk obstetric emergency: a psychoanalytic study. Rev. Subj. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.3, pp. 1-11. ISSN 2359-0769.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5020/23590777.rs.v19i3.e7550.

The gestational period may follow emergency complications and may cause imminent death threat to maternal and/or fetal life, contributing to the increased mortality rate in this population. Facing the unexpected, in these cases, can provoke experiences in which the subject faces an unbearable moment, impossible to symbolize. In psychoanalysis, this moment can be attributed to the concept of subjective urgency. Given this, the present article seeks to discuss how women in high-risk obstetric emergencies may be affected by the experience of subjective urgency and the consequences of this meeting. We propose to understand the concept of subjective urgency in the light of psychoanalytic theory and to identify its intertwining with the high-risk obstetric emergency. This is theoretical research in psychoanalysis, qualitative and exploratory, conducted from a bibliographical selection. The analysis of the data found consisted of the identification and discussion of concepts that intertwine with subjective urgency, in an attempt to think about this connection in high-risk obstetric emergencies. The literature showed that subjective urgency is associated with a moment of crisis, indicating a rupture in the discursive dimension, exposing the subject to the overwhelming and disordered real, so that anguish, trauma and time were identified as some of the concepts intertwined with subjective urgency. Concerning high-risk obstetric emergencies, elements such as losses, unexpected events and disruptions may indicate the possibility of subjective urgency being inscribed. However, it was evidenced that, sometimes, these events are treated by the immediacy, making it impossible for the subject to redefine his experience. Thus, it is taken care that, in the face of the chaos established in these environments, a pause will be given to rescue the previously diluted discursive chain and the subject may reorganize it.

Keywords : obstetric emergency; high-risk; psychoanalysis; subjective urgency.
