NURSING STRATEGIES FOR WOMEN AND FAMILIES FACING PREGNANCY LOSS: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW
Abstract
This study aimed to identify nursing care strategies for women and families facing pregnancy loss. It is an integrative review composed of 21 articles published between 2020 and 2025, selected from PubMed® and the Virtual Health Library, including complete and free studies in Portuguese and/or English. Reviews, academic papers, manuals, duplicates, and studies outside the scope were excluded. The findings were organized into three thematic axes: Communication strategies in nursing care during pregnancy loss; Strategies for emotional, social, and spiritual support for women and families experiencing pregnancy loss; and Professional training and qualification for nursing care for women and families experiencing pregnancy loss. It is concluded that communication skills and emotional support stood out as pillars of care, although weaknesses persist in spiritual support, professional preparation, and institutional structure. The need to invest in training, specific protocols, and policies that strengthen humanized care in pregnancy loss is evident.
