The Impact of Nursing Interventions on Hypertension Management During Pregnancy: Enhancing Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Preeclampsia

Abstract

Background:

Hypertension during pregnancy, particularly preeclampsia, is a major contributor to maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality globally. Preeclampsia, defined by increased blood pressure and proteinuria post the 20th week of gestation, presents significant dangers such as stroke, eclampsia, and preterm delivery. Timely identification and proficient care are crucial to mitigate these risks and enhance pregnancy outcomes.

Aim:

This research seeks to examine the impact of nursing interventions in managing hypertension in pregnancy, including preeclampsia, and to find effective measures that enhance mother and fetal health outcomes.

Methods:

A thorough literature analysis was performed to evaluate contemporary nursing practices and evidence-based strategies for the management of hypertension during pregnancy. Clinical recommendations, peer-reviewed journals, and systematic reviews were incorporated. Principal subjects addressed encompass blood pressure monitoring, medication management, patient education, and lifestyle adjustments.

Results:

Nursing interventions, including consistent blood pressure monitoring, prompt symptom identification, and appropriate delivery of hypertension drugs, have demonstrated a substantial reduction in maternal and fetal problems. Educating patients on lifestyle modifications and self-monitoring is essential for improving compliance with treatment regimens. Obstacles to successful management, such as socioeconomic variables and patient non-compliance, were recognized as impediments to optimal care.

Conclusion:

Proficient nursing care of hypertension during pregnancy is essential for enhancing mother and fetal outcomes. Timely identification, suitable pharmacotherapy, and thorough patient education are vital elements of care. Additional study is required to investigate non-pharmacological methods and establish standardized nursing standards.
