Saberes ancestrales y tradicionales de las parteras como parte de la identidad cultural de la parroquia San Juan de Pastocalle

This research project focused on obtaining information about the ancestral and traditional knowledge of midwives as part of the cultural identity of the Pastocalle parish, conducting on-site interviews to learn about this cultural legacy to future generations. Three specific objectives were set out: first, a situational diagnosis of the parish was carried out in order to obtain geographic and sociocultural information about the population. Second, we proposed to conduct interviews with the midwives to gather truthful information about the acquisition of this practice, experiences and anecdotes about their work. Finally, we proposed to elaborate an explanatory video about the importance of this practice in the cultural identity of the parish. The methods used were the inductive method because relevant information was sought, starting from specific data to obtain a synthesis of how the parish is structured, as for the inductive method it was used at the time of conducting the interviews to the midwives located, because with the different results obtained an analysis was reached in general of the information collected. As for the use of the deductive method, it was used in the elaboration of the explanatory video, because it started from a general conceptualization to a specific video. Two techniques were used, the first is the computer technique in order to capture the information through software such as Word and Excel, and the second is the in-depth interview technique to collect information about the experiences and anecdotes of the midwives. As for the tools used, google form, recordings and photographs were used to evidence the field trips, and ICTs were used to create the explanatory video using programs such as canva and clim champ to edit the video. Generally it is presumed that this cultural legacy will disappear because this ancestral knowledge is kept by the long-lived people of the sector, because the new generations have lost interest in replicating this knowledge, added to this the advance of modern medicine. The elaboration of an explanatory video was intended to contribute to the dissemination of this intangible cultural heritage for the knowledge of future generations
