ABSTRACT
To ensure periodic prenatal follow-up in a safe manner, health professionals and especially nurses, have been adopting strategic safety measures to face the challenges in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the present study aims to describe strategic actions adopted by nurses, to ensure the performance of periodic prenatal care in a safe manner, as well as to welcome pregnant women in this difficult time. Materials and Methods:
This is an integrative review, whose data sources used were, LILACS;Scielo;VHL;PubMed and Google Scholar.Results:
There was an increase in the prevalence of gestational diabetes around 25.6% in pregnant women hospitalized and symptomatic for COVID-19. There was also an increase in the rate of premature births;and stillbirth cases occurred around four times more in pregnant women who had SARS-CoV-2. It is also worth mentioning that SARS-COV-2 can progress between phases I, II and III, ranging from mild to more severe symptoms, and pregnant women who progress to assistance in the intensive care unit have a high mortality rate.Conclusion:
Among the strategies that stood out the reorganization of the service flow of the units;holding teleconsultations and postponing face-to-face consultations with symptomatic pregnant women, also reinforced the importance of the professional nurse in the practice of skillful listening. Thus, for the future it is expected that lessons are learned, where the experiences lived by the population and health professionals, result in improvement of maternal-fetal health, with access and quality of assistance superior to those found before the pandemic.
