Abstract

Objective: to investigate and analyze the evidence available in the scientific literature on Nursing
care for pregnant women with depression. Methodology: an integrative literature review that
followed the recommendations set forth in the PRISMA statement. Guiding question based
on the PICO strategy. Searches were performed from January 1st, 2010 to January 1st, 2020,
in the following databases: MEDLINE via PubMed, SCOPUS, LILACS, PsycINFO and CINAHL,
using the “pregnancy”, “depression” and “nursing care” descriptors. Results: seven of 1,398
studies identified were included in the integrative review. Regarding the year of publication,
the articles selected for the final sample were published from 2011 to 2017, all in different
countries. Regarding Nursing care in relation to depression during pregnancy, three thematic
categories emerged, namely: care for the prevention and reduction of depressive symptoms;
care interventions; and use of theories and models as grounds for intervention in Nursing care.
Conclusion: knowledge and identification of Nursing care for pregnant women with depression
is crucial to qualify prenatal care and promote mental health.
