Abstract
Aim: To present the results of a structured reflection on the methodological phases of an international research in Brazil regarding the implementation of the Program of Humanization of Prenatal and Childbirth, as well as, reflection on the project's social actors.
Method: A reflective research method that modifies the perception of a given situation, leading to new ideas, revealing themes of analysis, and engendering proposals for possible solutions with the creation of an action plan. The object of the reflection was the participation of co-investigators in an international, multidisciplinary, and multisite ethnographic study, implemented in June/2019-March/2020.
Results: The reflections indicate emotional sensitivity to the theme and silence about obstetric violence. There are multiple manifestations of institutionalized violence including resistance to confronting obstetric violence in hospital settings, negligence and distorted questioning in the political spaces of organizational authorization. The delay caused by a research ethics committee put the timetable for completion of research development at risk by requiring funding from a foreign agency.
Conclusion and implication for practice: Structured reflection allowed a unique learning process for co-investigators navigating different university and social research cultures.

Resumo
Objetivo: Apresentar o resultado de uma reflexão metodologicamente estruturada sobre o caminho trilhado em todas as fases de uma pesquisa internacional no Brasil sobre a implementação do Programa de Humanização do Pré-natal e do Nascimento e seus atores sociais.
Método: Método reflexivo de pesquisa que conduz à percepção modificada de uma dada situação levando a novas ideias, com o potencial de revelar temas de análise e engendrar propostas de possíveis soluções com desenho de um plano de ação. O objeto das reflexões concentrou-se nas participações dos copesquisadores de um estudo etnográfico internacional, multidisciplinar e multicêntrico implantado em Junho/2019-Março/2020.
Resultados: As reflexões indicam sensibilidade sobre o tema e silêncio imposto em relação à violência obstétrica. Sob múltiplas manifestações da violência institucionalizada, constatou-se ações como resistência ao assunto na rede hospitalar, negligência e questionamentos distorcidos nos espaços políticos de autorização para a anuência institucional. A demora por comitê de ética colocando em risco o calendário de conclusão da condução da pesquisa, exigido por agência estrangeira de fomento.
Conclusão e implicação para a prática: A reflexão estruturada possibilitou um processo ímpar de aprendizagem para os copesquisadores navegando em distintas culturas universitárias e sociais de pesquisa.
