ATUAÇÃO DAS(OS) PROFISSIONAIS DA ESTRATÉGIA SAÚDE DA FAMÍLIA NO ACOMPANHAMENTO PRÉ-NATAL DE GESTANTES ADOLESCENTES: REVISÃO DE ESCOPO

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent pregnancy requires qualified prenatal care, considering the specific characteristics of this stage of life and the need for comprehensive healthcare. In this context, the Family Health Strategy (FHS) plays a fundamental role in the follow-up of pregnant adolescents. Objective: To map, in the scientific literature, the role of FHS professionals in prenatal care for pregnant adolescents. Method: A scoping review was conducted using the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and the CAPES Journals Portal databases, including 15 studies published between 2007 and 2024. Results: The work of FHS professionals includes actions such as early identification of pregnancy, home visits, prenatal consultations, health education, and strengthening of bonds with pregnant adolescents. The activities performed by nurses and community health workers were particularly highlighted. Challenges related to adolescents' adherence to prenatal care, service organization, and professional training were also identified. Conclusion: The studies showed that the performance of FHS professionals is essential for prenatal care among pregnant adolescents, especially through welcoming practices, bond-building, and health education activities. However, challenges were identified regarding adherence to prenatal care, standardized care practices, insufficient specific training, and the working conditions of healthcare teams. The findings also revealed a scarcity of studies addressing the perspectives of pregnant adolescents themselves, highlighting the need for further research on this topic.
