| Sumario: | OBJECTIVE: To reflect, in light of complexity theory, on the dynamics of interprofessional healthcare for indigenous women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. METHOD: A theoretical-reflective study, using Edgar Morin's complexity framework, through the tetragram to reveal the encounters, tensions, and possibilities present in interprofessional care in intercultural contexts. RESULTS: Interprofessional care emerges as a crucial strategy for overcoming the fragmentation of the hegemonic biomedical model. The application of the tetragram has demonstrated that: order resides in traditional practices and biomedical protocols; disorder manifests itself in cultural ruptures and conflicts; interaction occurs in experiences of articulation between different types of knowledge; and organization indicates the construction of more inclusive and adaptive care arrangements. CONCLUSION: Complexity theory offers a fruitful lens for rethinking and (re)orienting attention to indigenous women's health, highlighting the imperative of active listening, valuing traditional knowledge, and building culturally safe, contextualized, and transformative interprofessional practices. |
