Weaknesses in the Continuity of Care of Puerperal Women: An Integrative Literature Review

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to identify how the transition of care from the hospital to the community occurs from the perspective of puerperal women at risk. An integrative literature review was performed, with the question: "How does the transition of care for at-risk puerperal women from the hospital to the community occur?" The search period ranged from 2013 to 2020, in the following databases: PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, and Scopus. MESH, DeCS and Boolean operators "OR" and "AND" are used in the following crossover analysis: patient transfer OR transition care OR continuity of patient care OR patient discharge AND postpartum period, resulting in 6 articles. The findings denote discontinuity of care, given the frequency of non-adherence to the puerperal consultation. Transition studies of care in the puerperium were not found, which requires proposing new studies.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar como ocorre a transição do cuidado do hospital para a comunidade na perspectiva de puérperas de risco. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com a questão: “Como ocorre a transição do cuidado das puérperas de risco do hospital para a comunidade?” A pesquisa foi realizada com recorte temporal de 2013 a 2020, nas bases de dados: PubMed, LILACS, SciELO e Scopus. Utilizou-se MESH, DECS e operadores booleanos “OR” e “AND” resultando nos seguintes cruzamentos: patient transfer OR transition care OR continuity of patient care OR patient discharge AND postpartum period, com análise final de 6 artigos. Os achados denotam descontinuidade do cuidado, visto a frequência de não adesão à consulta puerperal. Estudos de transição do cuidado no puerpério não foram encontrados, o que requer que novos estudos sejam propostos.
