We conducted an integrative review of studies published in the last decade, indexed in the LILACS, MEDLINE and PubMed, with the descriptors "pain" and "obstetric nursing." Using the inclusion criteria design and methodology proposed, the final sample consisted of eight articles. The analysis started by identifying the original article, the evaluation of methodological rigor, the interventions applied and the test results presented.
