Abstract
The aim was to verify the strategies used in prenatal care for the prevention of urinary infections during pregnancy. This is an integrative review of the literature, carried out in July 2023, on the Virtual Health Library Database Platform, to identify research related to the prevention of urinary infection during pregnancy from 2018 to 2023. Using the Descriptors in Health Sciences: “pregnancy”, “urinary infection”, “prenatal care”, “primary prevention” and “health education” which were integrated using the Boolean operator “AND”. Five articles were selected. Effective strategies for controlling urinary tract infections during pregnancy, such as regular monitoring, specific treatments, and promotion of hygienic habits, are essential to guarantee maternal and fetal health, preventing complications during pregnancy. It is concluded that research concerning urinary infections is incipient and it is up to the health team to guide the correct technique for collecting urine, request tests early to diagnose and treat cases, and institute more appropriate and effective antimicrobial treatment, as the sooner the infection is controlled, the better the results.
