Abstract

The Specific Hypertensive Syndrome of Pregnancy (SHEG) is an obstetric pathology that deserves great attention from health professionals. It appears after the 20th week of pregnancy, is more frequent in the third trimester, and develops until the puerperium. The main features are arterial hypertension, edema and/or proteinuria. Objective: To identify the nursing care provided to pregnant women with Hypertensive Emergencies in Primary Care. Methodology: Descriptive-exploratory study, of the integrative literature review type. The bibliographic search took place through the selection of scientific articles selected and published in journals in Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS); Nursing Database (BDENF); Academic Google; Brazil Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO); and the Virtual Health Library (VHL), using the descriptors: Arterial hypertension; Gestation; Nursing care. Results: Basic health units are the gateway for pregnant women to assess the risk factors that predispose them to SHEG, with nurses in evidence, able to intervene in a positive way in the process. Conclusion: The health complications that surround the gestational process can cause systemic level impairments, directly interfering in the daily life of the mother and child binomial. SHEG, as one of these complications, has a considerable prevalence, with high lethality, even diagnosed early. The nurse is essential to promote prevention and interventions, such as guidance on medications, physical activities, care with vital signs and diet, as well as referrals to specialized centers.
