Nursing practices to women who have experienced abortion: integrative review

Abstract

Objectives: to characterize how they occur and what are the effects of nursing actions on women's health at the time of abortion. Methods: It is an integrative review. The search took place in the SciELO, LILACS and BDENF databases, based on the keywords: women's health, abortion and nursing care. Results: Nineteen articles were selected, published from 2015 to 2020. It was noticed, in most productions, a fragmented practice of nursing professionals to women in abortion situations, whether in the relational, pain management and health education aspects of what to do after discharge. Although knowledge of protocols and humanization, care is still affected by the beliefs and values of these professionals. Conclusions: It is concluded that nursing care aimed at abortion still aims at problems and judgments, and requires, among other aspects, permanent professional qualification so that it is centered on the person, overcomes the abuse and ensures well-being and safety in future pregnancies
