Immigrant women's experience of labor and birth.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the childbirth experience of immigrant women in maternity hospitals in southern Brazil. METHOD: Descriptive, qualitative study, Hybrid Thematic Oral History method, in two public maternity hospitals in Curitiba-PR; semi-structured interviews collected from March to December 2020. Analysis followed the proposed method. RESULTS: The seven interviewees - collaborators immigrated from Venezuela, Haiti and Tunisia. Relevant themes emerged: 1) Surprises and feelings during the childbirth process, pointing out preferences, unexpected birth outcomes, factors related to the higher incidence of C-section and descriptions of sensations and feelings; 2) The care perceived by women and memories of experiences in the country of origin, with reports of previous childbirth experience, difficulties in the current childbirth and perceptions of the care received. CONCLUSION: The childbirth process was experienced with expectation, accessing feelings and memories. The positive childbirth experience was favored by team care, participation in decision-making, well-informed prenatal care, bonding with the care team, effective communication and evidence-based obstetric practices. Challenges were perceived regarding cultural sensitivity in care.

Incident Coronary Calcium Score in Patients With OSA With and Without Excessive Sleepiness: Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health.

BACKGROUND: Uncertainty exists about the impact of OSA and its phenotypes on cardiovascular disease. RESEARCH QUESTION: Are OSA and clinical features such as daytime sleepiness associated with incident subclinical coronary atherosclerosis? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: In this prospective community-based cohort study, we administered a sleepiness questionnaire, actigraphy, and home sleep studies at baseline. Coronary artery calcium (CAC; 64-slice multidetector CT scan imaging) was measured at two different time points throughout the study (baseline, between 2010 and 2014, and follow-up, between 2016 and 2018). Incidence of subclinical atherosclerosis was defined as baseline CAC of 0 followed by CAC of > 0 at a 5-year follow-up visit. The association of incident CAC outcome was assessed using logistic regression. Stratified analyses based on excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) were performed. RESULTS: We analyzed 1,956 participants with available CAC scores at baseline (mean age, 49 ± 8 years; 57.9% female; 32.4% with OSA). In covariate-adjusted analyses (n = 1,247; mean follow-up, 5.1 ± 0.9 years), we found a significant association between OSA and incidence of subclinical atherosclerosis (OR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.06-1.48), with stronger effects among those reporting EDS (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.30-2.12; P = .028 for interaction). Interestingly, EDS per se was not associated with any CAC outcome. An exploratory analysis of the square root of CAC progression (baseline CAC > 0 followed by a numerical increase in scores at follow-up; n = 319) showed a positive association for both OSA (ß = 1.084; 95% CI, 0.032-2.136; P = .043) and OSA with EDS (ß = 1.651; 95% CI, 0.208-3.094; P = .025). INTERPRETATION: OSA, particularly with EDS, predicts the incidence and progression of CAC. These results support biological plausibility for the increased cardiovascular risk observed among patients with OSA with excessive sleepiness.

Gender Modulated the Association of Sleep Apnea and Sleep Duration with Arterial Stiffness: The ELSA-Brasil Study.

Increased arterial stiffness is independently associated with cardiovascular risk. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and sleep duration (SDUR) may contribute to increased arterial stiffness, but it is unclear whether this association is modulated by gender. We aimed to evaluate the potential impact of gender in modulating the association of OSA and SDUR with arterial stiffness. Participants from the ELSA-Brasil study performed sleep assessments with portable polygraph to define OSA severity and SDUR by 1-week wrist actigraphy. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured using a standard technique without access to the sleep data. We studied 1863 participants (42.2% male, age: 49±8 years, respiratory disturbance index (RDI): 9.9 (4.5-19.4) events/h, SDUR: 6.5 (5.9-7.1) hours, mean PWV: 7.3 ± 1.2 m/s). We found that men had higher PWV, higher frequency of diabetes, and higher blood pressure when compared to women. The regression analysis showed an independent association between increased RDI and PWV in men (ß: 0.007; 95% CI: 0.001-0.012), but not in women. In contrast, an independent association between SDUR and increased arterial stiffness was observed only in women (ß: 0.068; 95% CI: 0.002-0.134). In conclusion, the association of sleep disorders with arterial stiffness showed a distinct gender pattern depending on the sleep variable studied.

Excessive daytime sleepiness, but not sleep apnea, sleep duration or insomnia, was associated with poor adherence to anti-hypertensive treatment: The ELSA-Brasil study.

Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. Poor adherence may partially explain this scenario. Beyond traditional factors, it is conceivable that sleep conditions such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Sleep Duration (SDUR), sleepiness and insomnia may contribute to impair adherence but the evidence is scanty. Consecutive participants with hypertension from the ELSA-Brasil study performed a home sleep monitoring and 7-days actigraphy to determine OSA (apnea-hypopnea index ≥15 events/hour) and SDUR, respectively. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and insomnia were evaluated by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Clinical Interview Scheduled Revised (CIS-R), respectively. The 4-itens Morisky questionnaire was used to evaluate adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy. A total of 411 patients were including in the analysis (mean age: 54 ± 8 years, 47% men). Medium/low adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy was observed in 62%. Compared to the high adherence group, the participants with medium/low adherence had lower frequencies of Whites (64.1 vs. 47.8%), high-degree education (50.6 vs. 40%), and monthly per-capita income ($1021.90 vs. $805.20). In contrast, we observed higher frequency of EDS (35.9 vs. 46.1%). No differences were observed for OSA, short SDUR (<6 h) and insomnia. Logistic regression analysis showed that race other than White (OR: 1.80; 95% IC:1.15-2.82), lower monthly income (OR: 1.74; 95% IC:1.01-3.0) and EDS (OR: 1.63; 95% IC:1.05-2.53) were independently associated with medium/low adherence to the anti-hypertensive treatment. Interestingly, EDS mediated the abdominal obesity-adherence outcome. In conclusion, among sleep-related parameters, EDS, but not OSA, short SDUR or insomnia, were associated to impaired adherence to anti-hypertensive therapy.

Sleep irregularity and the association with hypertension and blood pressure levels: the ELSA-Brasil study.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the associations of sleep irregularity with hypertension (HTN) and blood pressure (BP) levels. METHODS: Adult participants from the ELSA-Brasil performed a clinical evaluation including objective sleep duration (actigraphy), insomnia, and a sleep study for defining obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). To quantify sleep irregularity, we used two parameters obtained through actigraphy: 7-day standard deviation (SD) of sleep duration and 7-day SD of sleep-onset timing. A multivariate analysis was used to determine the independent associations of sleep irregularity with HTN and SBP/DBP values. RESULTS: We studied 1720 participants (age 49 ±â€Š8 years; 43.4% men) and 27% fulfilled the HTN diagnosis. After adjustments for age, gender, race, BMI, excessive alcohol consumption, physical activity intensity, urinary sodium excretion, insomnia, objective sleep duration and OSA (apnoea-hypopnoea index ≥15 events/h), we found that the continuous analysis of 7-day SD of sleep duration was modestly associated with prevalent HTN. However, 7-day SD of sleep duration more than 90 min was independently associated with SBP [ ß : 1.55; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.23-2.88] and DBP ( ß : 1.07; 95% CI 0.12-2.01). Stratification analysis excluding participants with OSA revealed that a 7-day SD of sleep duration greater than 90 min was associated with a 48% higher chance of having HTN (OR: 1.48; 95% CI: 1.05-2.07). No significant associations were observed for the SD of sleep-onset timing. CONCLUSION: Objective measurement of sleep irregularity, evaluated by SD of sleep duration for 1 week, was associated with HTN and higher BP levels, especially in participants without OSA.

Association between objective sleep measures and cognitive performance: a cross-sectional analysis in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) study.

Sleep disturbances often co-exist, which challenges our understanding of their potential impact on cognition. We explored the cross-sectional associations of insomnia and objective measures of sleep with cognitive performance in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) study stratified by middle-aged and older adults. Participants aged ≥55 years underwent cognitive evaluations, polygraphy for 1 night, and actigraphy for 7 days. Insomnia was evaluated using the Clinical Interview Scheduled Revised. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and short sleep duration (SSD) were defined by an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of ≥15 events/h and <6 h/ night, respectively. In 703 participants (mean [SD] age 62 [6] years, 44% men), cognition was evaluated using a 10-word list, verbal fluency, and trail-making tests. The frequencies of insomnia, SSD, and OSA were 11%, 24%, and 33%, respectively. In all, 4% had comorbid OSA and insomnia, and 11% had both OSA and SSD. Higher wake after sleep onset (ß = -0.004, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.008, -0.001) and the number of awakenings (ß = -0.006, 95% CI -0.012, -0.001) were associated with worse verbal fluency performance. Compared to those without insomnia, older participants with insomnia had worse global performance (ß = -0.354, 95% CI -0.671, -0.038). Insomnia was an effect modifier in the associations between AHI and executive function performance (p for the interaction between insomnia and AHI = 0.004) and between oxygen saturation <90% and memory performance (p for the interaction between insomnia and oxygen saturation = 0.02). Although some associations between sleep measures and cognition were significant, they should be considered with caution due to the large sample size and multiple testing performed in this study.

Immediate puerperium during the pandemic: women's oral history in the light of obstetric care models / Puerperio inmediato en la pandemia: historia oral de mujeres a la luz de modelos de atención obstétrica / Puerpério imediato na pandemia: história oral de mulheres à luz dos modelos de assistência obstétrica

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the immediate puerperium experience of women during the COVID-19 pandemic in a public maternity hospital in Curitiba/PR in southern Brazil. Method: A qualitative study, following the Thematic Oral History methodological framework. The setting was a high-risk maternity-school. Data collection took place through a semi-structured, audio-recorded, on-site interview, from October to December 2021, with analysis of results following the Thematic Oral History method, which comprises the phases of transcription, textualization and transcreation. Results: Nine women in immediate puerperium participated, with varied professions and aged between 25 and 34 years. Relevant topics were: "Maternity in a context of risk", which deals with emotional aspects related to the pandemic, health care during the pandemic and care actions against COVID-19; "Physical and symbolic perceptions of breastfeeding", which involves feelings, manifestations in the body and the symbolic of breastfeeding; "Achieve: direct and indirect transitive verb", which talks about women's power of personal transformation; and "Nuances of care", which addresses the (in)delicacies of the care received. Conclusion: The experience of immediate puerperium in hospital environments during the pandemic transversely went beyond aspects of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium, revealing elements not related to the pandemic and others, such as fear of contamination specific to the pandemic context. Talking about their experience is an opportunity to expose feelings and align thoughts about their reality. Characteristics of childbirth care models orbiting between technocratic and humanized were observed, demonstrating aspects to be overcome by health professionals and worked with women.

Bioactivity of aqueous extract of Jacaranda spp. (Bignoniaceae) on Plutella xylostella L. 1758 (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae).

The high consumption rate of vegetables stimulates the cultivation and increases the demand regarding the adequacy of the production processes. The attack of the pest Plutella xylostella causes high losses by reducing product quality, typifying a phytosanitary problem. This study aimed to verify the bioactivity of aqueous extracts of leaves of Jacaranda decurrens and Jacaranda mimosifolia at concentrations of 5, 10, and 15% on the insect. The choice test was carried out at the laboratory to determine the food effect of plant extracts and evaluate changes in the life cycle of insects exposed to active compounds through the analysis of biological parameters. Plant extracts of J. decurrens and J. mimosifolia presented with phagodeterrent classification in the choice experiments. The three J. decurrens extract concentrations promoted a prolongation of larval and pupal duration, while the duration of individuals treated with J. mimosifolia at 10% was significantly reduced. Occurred reduction in larval survival of individuals treated with aqueous extracts of J. decurrens and J. mimosifolia. Eggs from treatments with aqueous extract of J. decurrens and J. mimosifolia had reduced survival. Pupal survival of individuals treated with extract at 15% showed a significant reduction compared to the treatments at 5% and 10%. Pupae from the treatment with aqueous extract of Jacaranda mimosifolia showed a reduction in biomass in the treatment at 15% differing from the control e 5%. Thus, the aqueous extracts of the species J. decurrens and J. mimosifolia show insecticidal potential in the tests performed on P. xylostella.

Rede social de apoio à mulher no aleitamento materno: revisão integrativa / Red social de apoyo a las mujeres en lactancia: revisión integrativa / Social network to support women in breastfeeding: integrative review

Objetivo: identificar na literatura como são estruturadas as redes sociais de apoio à mulher no aleitamento materno. Método: revisão integrativa nas bases de dados PubMed, BVS, LILACS e Scielo, utilizando os descritores "Aleitamento Materno", "Rede Social" e "Guia de Prática Clínica". Foram incluídos artigos em inglês, português e espanhol, publicados entre 2015 e 2020. Excluíram-se artigos de reflexão, editorial e relatos de experiência. Resultados: foram analisados nove estudos, onde emergiram três categorias temáticas: Estrutura da rede social, primária e secundária; Tipos de apoio, com destaque para o emocional e presencial e Importância da rede social para estabelecimento do aleitamento materno, corresponsabilizando a família e profissionais de saúde. Conclusão: os estudos desvendaram que a estrutura da rede social da mulher que amamenta é pequena, porém com vínculos fortes, constituída principalmente pelo núcleo familiar, enquanto a rede secundária, constituída pelos profissionais de saúde, mostrou-se frágil e com vínculos interrompidos.

Objective: to identify in the literature how the social support networks for women in breastfeeding are structured. Method: integrative review carried out in PubMed, BVS, LILACS and Scielo databases, using the descriptors "Breastfeeding", "Social Network" and "Clinical Practice Guide". Articles in English, Portuguese and Spanish, published between 2015 and 2020, were included. Reflection articles, editorial and experience reports were excluded. Results: nine studies were analyzed, where three thematic categories emerged: Social network structure, primary and secondary; Types of support, with emphasis on emotional and in-person support and Importance of the social network for the establishment of breastfeeding, making the family and health professionals co-responsible. Conclusion: the studies unveiled that the structure of the social network of women who breastfeed is small, but with strong bonds, consisting mainly of the family nucleus, while the secondary network, consisting of health professionals, proved to be fragile and with broken bonds.

Conclusión: los estudios revelaron que la estructura de la red social de mujeres que amamantan es pequeña, pero con fuertes lazos, conformada principalmente por el núcleo familiar, mientras que la red secundaria, conformada por profesionales de la salud, resultó frágil y con lazos rotos.

Antifeeding and Oviposition Deterrent Effect of Ludwigia spp. (Onagraceae) against Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae).

Plants produce a wide variety of bioactive compounds with insecticidal properties, such as secondary metabolites capable of interfering with the nutrition and reproduction of pest species such as Plutella xylostella. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Ludwigia spp. (Onagraceae) on the feeding and oviposition of P. xylostella. Choice bioassays were performed using aqueous and ethanolic extracts. The aqueous extract of L. tomentosa resulted in an approximately 81% reduction in larval feeding compared to that in the control, with an antifeedant index (AI) of 52%. The aqueous and ethanolic extract of L. nervosa acted by stimulating larval feeding. The oviposition was significantly reduced in the kale leaves treated with aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Ludwigia spp. The aqueous extracts promoted an average 90% reduction in oviposition when compared to that in the control, and an oviposition deterrent index (ODI) above 61% was classified as an oviposition deterrent. In addition, ethanolic extracts affected 81% of oviposition, with an ODI above 41%. Bioassays should be performed to clarify the use of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of L. nervosa as they acted as phagostimulants in the feeding tests and as deterrents in the oviposition tests. The phenolic compounds-flavonoids, condensed tannins, and alkaloids-were more abundant in L. nervosa, L. tomentosa, L. sericea, and L. longifolia. The extracts of L. longifolia and L. tomentosa showed the best results, interfering with the host choice for feeding and oviposition in P. xylostella and representing an alternative for the control of diamondback moths.

Breastfeeding in times of COVID-19: a scoping review.

OBJECTIVE: to identify how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced postpartum women in breastfeeding. METHOD: a scoping review, with a search in seven databases. Studies available in full, in English, Portuguese or Spanish, published from December/2019-April/2021 were included. The analysis was carried out by categorizing common themes. RESULTS: 25 studies were included, grouped into five categories, presenting the influence of the pandemic: in the routine of breastfeeding care, evidencing preventive measures against COVID-19; in breastfeeding rates, highlighting changes in dietary practices; in the support network for breastfeeding, indicating a lack of service care; in the postpartum women's emotions, with predominance of concern and stress; in the use of technology to support breastfeeding, with teleservice facilitating care.

Mental Health of Postpartum Women During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Integrative Review / Saúde mental de puérperas durante a pandemia covid-19: revisão integrativa / Salud mental de puérperas durante la pandemia de covid-19: revisión integradora

Objective: To identify and analyze the scientific evidence on the mental health of postpartum women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This integrative review was carried out using the VHL, CINAHL, PubCovid, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, whose research question was "What is the scientific evidence on the mental health of postpartum women during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic?" Results: Ten articles in English were included, identifying a higher frequency of cross-sectional research (n = 4), publications in November 2020 (n = 3), conducted in Italy (n = 3), with level VI evidence (n = 6). The study found that postpartum women feel depressed, lonely, and afraid; attention is drawn to the worsening risk of postpartum depression with significant prevalence values. It points out factors that negatively influence the mental health of this population in the current pandemic and discloses care measures. Conclusions: In addition to previous characteristics, socioeconomic conditions (e.g., living in highly infected areas, unemployment) and elements inherent to this pandemic (e.g., distance and fear of contagion) negatively influence the mental health of postpartum women. Means of dealing with the conditions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic are available, such as relaxation techniques, physical exercise, and professional support. The relevance and need for research on this theme, mostly nationally, are highlighted.

Objetivo: identificar e analisar as evidências científicas sobre a saúde mental de puérperas durante a pandemia da covid-19. Método: revisão integrativa nas bases de dados BVS, CINAHL, PubCovid, Scopus e Web of Science, na qual se considerou a pergunta de pesquisa "Quais as evidências científicas sobre a saúde mental das puérperas na pandemia do Sars-CoV-2?" Resultados: foram incluídos 10 artigos, em língua inglesa, e foi identificada maior frequência em pesquisas transversais (n = 4), publicações em novembro de 2020 (n = 3), realizadas na Itália (n = 3), com nível VI de evidência (n = 6). Demonstrou-se que as puérperas se sentem deprimidas, solitárias e com medo; atentam para a piora no risco de depressão pós-parto com valores importantes de prevalência. Apontam fatores que influenciam negativamente a saúde mental dessa população na atual pandemia e revelam ações de cuidado. Conclusões: além de características pregressas, há condições socioeconômicas ­ como residir em áreas de maior contaminação, desemprego ­ e elementos inerentes a essa pandemia ­ como distanciamento e medo da contaminação ­ que influenciam negativamente a saúde mental de puérperas. Há meios de lidar com as condições impostas pela pandemia da covid-19, como técnicas de relaxamento, prática de exercício físico e apoio profissional. Salientam-se a importância e a necessidade de pesquisas nacionais, principalmente, e internacionais nessa temática.

Objetivo: identificar y analizar las evidencias científicas sobre la salud mental de puérperas durante la pandemia de la covid-19. Método: revisión integradora en las bases de datos BVS, CINAHL, PubCovid, Scopus y Web of Science, en la que se consideró la pregunta de investigación "¿Cuáles son las evidencias científicas sobre la salud mental de las puérperas en la pandemia del SARS-CoV-2?" Resultados: se incluyeron diez artículos, en inglés, y se identificó más frecuencia en investigaciones trasversales (n = 4), publicaciones en noviembre de 2020 (n = 3), realizadas en Italia (n = 3), con nivel VI de evidencia (n = 6). Se demostró que las puérperas se sienten deprimidas, solitarias y con miedo, lo cual agrava el riesgo de depresión posparto con valores importantes de prevalencia. Se señalan factores que influyen de forma negativa en la salud mental de esta población y se evidencian acciones de cuidado. Conclusiones: además de las características anteriores, algunas condiciones socio-económicas (como vivir en áreas de más infección, desempleo) y elementos inherentes a esta pandemia (como distanciamiento y miedo de contagiarse) influyen de forma negativa en la salud mental de puérperas. Hay formas de manejar las condiciones impuestas por la pandemia de covid-19, como técnicas de relajación, práctica de ejercicio físico y soporte profesional. Se destacan la importancia y la necesidad de investigaciones nacionales, principalmente, e internacionales en esta temática.

Self-reported versus actigraphy-assessed sleep duration in the ELSA-Brasil study: analysis of the short/long sleep duration reclassification.

PURPOSE: This study was aimed to determine the magnitude and predictors of self-reported short/long sleep duration (SDUR) reclassifications using objective measurements. METHODS: Adult participants from the ELSA-Brasil study performed self-reported SDUR, 7-day wrist actigraphy, and a portable sleep study. We explored two strategies of defining self-reported SDUR reclassification: (1) short and long SDUR defined by <6 and ≥8h, respectively; (2) reclassification using a large spectrum of SDUR categories (<5, 5-6, 7-8, 8-9, and >9 h). RESULTS: Data from 2036 participants were used in the final analysis (43% males; age: 49±8 years). Self-reported SDUR were poorly correlated (r=0.263) and presented a low agreement with actigraphy-based total sleep time. 58% of participants who self-reported short SDUR were reclassified into the reference (6-7.99 h) or long SDUR groups using actigraphy data. 88% of participants that self-reported long SDUR were reclassified into the reference and short SDUR. The variables independently associated with higher likelihood of self-reported short SDUR reclassification included insomnia (3.5-fold), female (2.5-fold), higher sleep efficiency (1.35-fold), lowest O2 saturation (1.07-fold), higher wake after sleep onset (1.08-fold), and the higher number of awakening (1.05-fold). The presence of hypertension was associated with a 3.4-fold higher chance of self-reported long SDUR reclassification. Analysis of five self-reported SDUR categories revealed that the more extreme is the SDUR, the greater the self-reported SDUR reclassification. CONCLUSION: In adults, we observed a significant rate of short/long SDUR reclassifications when comparing self-reported with objective data. These results underscore the need to reappraise subjective data use for future investigations addressing SDUR.

Fragilidades e potencialidades do cuidado de enfermagem em aleitamento materno na atenção primária: revisão integrativa / Weaknesses and potentialities of nursing care on breastfeeding in primary care: integrative review / Debilidades y potencialidades de la atención de enfermería en la lactancia materna en la atención primaria: revisión integradora

Objetivo: identificar as fragilidades e potencialidades do cuidado de enfermagem no apoio ao aleitamento materno na atenção primária à saúde (APS). Método: revisão integrativa realizada nas bases LILACS, BDENF, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science e biblioteca Scielo em março de 2021. Resultados: compuseram a amostra 19 estudos. Fragilidades envolvem embasamento teórico/prático incipiente dos profissionais de enfermagem, cuidado limitado voltado ao aleitamento materno e à (des)organização do serviço e do processo de trabalho. Como potencialidade, identificou-se a educação em saúde, desenvolvida pelo enfermeiro, durante o pré-natal e pós-parto. Conclusão: o embasamento teórico/prático incipiente é responsável pela limitação do cuidado, e a desorganização do serviço e do processo de trabalho é considerada um entrave no apoio ao aleitamento materno na APS. Ações de educação em saúde demonstram ser uma potência e uma possibilidade de oferta de cuidado de qualidade diante das barreiras impostas pela falta de conhecimento.

Objective: to identify the weaknesses and strengths of nursing care in supporting breastfeeding in Primary Health Care (PHC). Method: integrative review carried out in LILACS, BDENF, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science and Scielo library in March 2021. Results: the sample comprised 19 studies. Weaknesses involve the nursing professionals' incipient theoretical/practical foundation, limited care focused on breastfeeding and the (dis)organization of the service and the work process. As a potential, health education was identified, developed by nurses, during prenatal and postpartum periods. Conclusion: the incipient theoretical/practical basis is responsible for the limitation of care, and the disorganization of the service and the work process is considered an obstacle in the support of breastfeeding in Primary Health Care. Health education actions prove to be a power and a possibility of offering quality care in the face of barriers imposed by lack of knowledge.

Método: revisión integradora realizada en LILACS, BDENF, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science y biblioteca Scielo en marzo de 2021. Resultados: La muestra estuvo compuesta por 19 estudios. Las debilidades implican una base teórica/práctica incipiente de los profesionales de enfermería, cuidados limitados centrados en la lactancia materna y la (des)organización del servicio y del proceso de trabajo. Como potencialidad, se identificó la educación para la salud, desarrollada por enfermeras, durante el prenatal y el posparto. Conclusión: la incipiente base teórico-práctica es responsable de la limitación de los cuidados, y la desorganización del servicio y del proceso de trabajo se considera un obstáculo en el apoyo a la lactancia materna en la APS. Las acciones de educación para la salud demuestran ser un poder y una posibilidad de ofrecer una atención de calidad frente a las barreras impuestas por la falta de conocimiento.

ABSTRACT Objective To describe the experience of pregnant women at 37 weeks of gestation or more attended at the Nursing Consultation who had developed their delivery plan. Method Qualitative exploratory research with 19 pregnant women at 37 weeks of gestation or more with a bond to a low-risk maternity hospital in Curitiba, Paraná state, Brazil, who attended nursing consultation between November 2019 and March 2020. The data was collected through interviews and submitted to thematic content analysis. Results The pregnant women were unaware of issues related to childbirth, which contributes to the emergence of doubts, fears, and insecurities. They also had no knowledge, or had only superficial knowledge, of the delivery plan. The nursing consultation and the maternity's delivery plan contributed to the clarification of doubts, the reduction of anxiety, the possibility of strengthening and empowering the pregnant woman and her companion in the face of the provision of information for vaginal delivery, and the establishment of a bond with the maternity. Conclusions and implications for the practice Adequate to reality and focused on the individuality of the pregnant woman, the nursing consultation and the birth plan were shown to be a space for health education and an educational tool, respectively, efficient for the nurse's performance and improvement of prenatal care.
