The nurse's challenge in advising pregnant women on their rights

This study addresses the challenge of nurses in relation to guidance on the rights of pregnant women, focusing on the fundamental role of nurses in guiding pregnant women on their rights. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of nurses in providing pregnant women with knowledge of their rights, and also to identify the flaws in the communication process between nurses and pregnant women that influence their knowledge of their rights. The integrative, qualitative and descriptive literature review used scientific articles, official documents and databases. Effective communication between nursing professionals and pregnant women is a notorious challenge directly linked to the pregnant woman's knowledge. The results show that failures in communication generate doubts, anxiety and nervousness, leading to the pregnant woman's lack of knowledge of her rights. The pregnant woman's knowledge of her rights is directly linked to the guidance she receives during prenatal care and if there is no effective and clear communication, this guidance is not passed on properly. Nurses are in charge of guiding pregnant women and providing them with qualified and humanized care, so that they can feel safe and have their rights ensured, and for this to happen properly it is important that there is effective communication and programs that disseminate information about the rights of pregnant women, in lectures and actions within the scope of basic health units. It can be concluded that nurses are the key to ensuring that pregnant women have adequate guidance on their rights and feel safe in the knowledge that they have somewhere to go to ensure that this happens. For this to happen, nurses must be aligned with their team, and with good management it is possible to implement means of communication to disseminate information on pregnant women's rights.
