Nursing Diagnoses and Interventions in Women with Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: A Scoping Review

Objective: To map the diverse scientific evidence on nursing diagnoses and interventions in women with pregnancy hypertensive disorders under Primary Health Care. Materials and method: A scoping review was conducted through nine stages in seven databases and the thesis and dissertation catalog of the Coordinating Office for Improving Higher Education Personnel. The search was performed from January to March 2021. Results: A total of 2,505 articles were retrieved, of which five were included in the final review. Nine primary diagnoses from the 2009-2011 version of NANDA-I were identified. Each diagnosis was classified according to physical, psychological, behavioral, and environmental characteristics. The interventions were related to controlling pain, anxiety, hemodynamic dysfunctions, self-esteem level, fluid replacement, patient/environment hygiene, and sleep-rest ratio. Conclusions: The nursing diagnoses and interventions presented in this study corroborate the clinical practice and aid nursing professionals’ reasoning.
