RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Our aim was to summarize, analyze and disseminate the current state of knowledge about the barriers and facilitators in postpartum reclassification that women who have had gestational diabetes face. METHODS: Data collection was carried out from January to March 2021 in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Embase and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases. RESULTS: Of the 361 studies initially retrieved in the search, 32 articles published between 2010 and 2020 were selected because they were within our objective. CONCLUSION: Multiple barriers and interventions were found regarding the reclassification of the glycemic status of women who had Gestational Diabetes during pregnancy. Therefore, further studies are needed to achieve a better intervention for this condition.
