A IMPORTÂNCIA DA ASSISTÊNCIA DO ENFERMEIRO ÀS ADOLESCENTES GESTANTES EM DEPRESSÃO: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA

Abstract

The present study aims to understand how nursing professionals provide assistance to pregnant adolescents in depressive conditions. Teenage pregnancy causes numerous and profound changes in the lives of young people, including risks for both the mother and the fetus. In this sense, adolescents are susceptible to gestational depression. From this perspective, this research questions how nursing care can bring benefits and reduce risks to young pregnant women in situations of emotional vulnerability. An integrative review was adopted in this study, between August and October 2022, when a bibliographic search was carried out through the PubMed, SciELO and VHL platforms, published in the years 2017 to 2022. Young people who face this type of situation often have compromised psychological health and become vulnerable to suicide. Therefore, it is inferred that it is pertinent for the nurse to accompany these adolescents, thus ensuring adequate care and quality prenatal care. In this way, the risk of pregnant women with depression will be reduced.
