Abstract
Background
The presence of intestinal elimination ostomies concomitant with pregnancy poses complex challenges for health professionals in providing antenatal care to these women and their families. In this context, identifying the specific needs of these pregnant women is crucial for effective care.
Aim
This scoping review aims to map the evidence on the needs of women with intestinal elimination ostomies during pregnancy.
Methods
This review was based on the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. The search was carried out on the EBSCOhost platform using the MEDLINE Ultimate, CINAHL Ultimate, MedicLatina and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews databases and on the PubMed and SciELO platforms, with no time limits.
Findings
We identified 570 studies, 6 websites and one citation of which 16 were included. The selected records were published between the years 1957 and 2024. The results were categorised into four types which summarise the pregnant women's needs: daily life permeated by stoma care requirements, to be supported, challenges in assessing foetal well-being and having a plan.
Conclusions
Attending to the needs of these women requires health professionals with specific training and the involvement of a multidisciplinary team. Given the scarcity of articles identified and the publication dates, it is considered necessary to develop primary research addressing this issue.
