Main Article Content
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for nursing interventions for pregnant women, emphasizing both physical and mental health. The research aimed to investigate empirical research on nursing care for pregnant women in community settings during the COVID-19 pandemic using an integrative review. The search terms included nursing care, pregnant women, COVID-19, and community. The databases used in this review were CINAHL, BASE, MEDLINE, and Springer Nature Journals. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool appraised was used to assess the quality of the studies. This study used thematic analysis to review ten articles focused on nursing care for pregnant women in the community. Two nursing care models emerged: 1) utilization of digital technologies and 2) resilience and psychosocial support. Telehealth and psychosocial interventions are crucial for enhancing maternal health during a health crisis or pandemic. Insufficient information and social support emphasize the necessity for structured communication channels and public health systems to assist pregnant women. Therefore, telemedicine should be integrated with health education and psychological intervention in community health services to reduce risks and ensure continuing support for pregnant women in the community.
