Impacto da assistência de enfermagem ao pré-natal na atenção primária à saúde: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

Prenatal care consists of monitoring women during their pregnancy, starting from the beginning of gestation. The purpose of this monitoring is to preserve the health of both mother and baby. Throughout pregnancy, several additional exams and assessments are performed to detect early and treat any risk situations that may affect the health of the mother or baby. Identify the impact of prenatal nursing care in primary health care. An integrative review of studies published between 2019 and 2024 was carried out, resulting in the selection of 22 studies considered relevant. It is evident that the determining elements of care include education and information for pregnant women, humanization of care, quality of communication between professionals and patients, interprofessional support, available health infrastructure, and the social context of pregnant women. These factors interact in a complex way, influencing the quality of care and the experience of women during prenatal care. It is therefore essential that health professionals, managers and policy makers consider these elements when planning and implementing prenatal care actions. Understanding that care goes beyond technique and involves a holistic view of the health of the pregnant woman is what will really make a difference in maternal and child care and health.
