A atuação do enfermeiro (a) na assistência ao pré-natal : gravidez na adolescência

Abstract

The aim of this review was to address the role of nurses in prenatal care for teenage pregnancies in basic health units, highlighting the importance of this service as a way of providing pregnant women with complete care in basic units close to their homes. The research is justified by the need for nursing intervention in the prenatal care of early pregnancy and against the harmful effects of this pregnancy, considering the comprehensive monitoring carried out in all directions, with exams, monthly clinical consultations and monitoring of all phases up to nine months. It is assumed that if this type of monitoring by nurses did not exist for pregnant women at this stage of life in basic health units, most of them would not be able to receive this attention, for various reasons, including their economic and financial conditions, because even if the service existed, but in centers far from their homes, many would be absent. The intervention project used in this work refers above all to the problem prioritized, teenage pregnancy. The method was an integrative literature search. The results show that nurses play an essential role in high-risk prenatal care. It is concluded that high-risk prenatal care provided in basic health units is essential for the positive results of such monitoring through the PSF (Family Health Program).
