Abstract

This integrative literature review aims to identify
the nursing care provided to women with gestational
diabetes mellitus during the prenatal care, evidenced in
the scientific literature, between 2004 and 2013. Data
collection was undertaken in the LILACS AND BDENF
databases, using the descriptors “gestational diabetes”,
“prenatal care”, and “nursing”. Seven publications were
selected. Evidence was found for the existence of gaps in
the care given to women with gestational diabetes, and
the importance of the role performed by the nurse in the
context of care for the pregnant woman, promoting the
practice of self-care. The restricted number of publications
on this issue points to the need for investment in production
focusing on this population segment.
