Contribuições da enfermagem na implantação e adesão ao pré-natal do parceiro

Abstract

Introduction: It is observed in clinical practice that, even with the Ministry of Health's encouragement of the partner's prenatal program, many men do not get involved in the pregnancy process. Objective: To carry out an integrative literature review to identify the contributions of nursing in the implementation and adherence to the partner's prenatal care. Method: A search of scientific production between 2016 and 2022 was conducted in the databases BVS, LILACS, and BDENF, using the descriptors: prenatal, partner, and nursing, extracted from the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) of the Virtual Health Library (BVS) and their variations. Results: Seventeen articles were selected to compose the final sample, the majority of which are qualitative studies, published by nurses after the implementation of the public policy on the partner's prenatal care. Conclusion: There is no doubt that nurses represent the majority of health professionals who have sought to reflect on the partner's prenatal care. However, few articles directly address the contribution of nursing in the expansion and adherence to the partner's prenatal care, which signals the need for new studies that make the importance of nursing participation in the consolidation of this health policy clearer.
