Resumo: Introduction: Pregnancy is a time of great emotions and new challenges that all women go through differently. Women choose different health care professionals to monitor their pregnancy. Therefore, it is essential to explore the benefits of monitoring the pregnancy by a nurse-midwife, promoting adherence to this follow-up model. Objective: To identify the benefits of monitoring pregnancy by nurse-midwives compared with family doctors. Methods: Integrative literature review in which six articles were included and thoroughly analyzed to respond to the outlined objective. The initial search covered the period from 2015 to 2021 and used the keywords ‘Prenatal care’, ‘nurse-midwives’, and ‘childbirth’. 393 articles were retrieved and reduced to six considering inclusion criteria. The integrative review was descriptive and focused on extracting the findings that answered the research question. Results: Several benefits of monitoring pregnancy by a nurse-midwife compared to the same monitoring by a family doctor have been identified were identified: a decrease in the rate of cesarean sections, an increase in spontaneous vaginal births, a reduction in premature births, a reduction in interventions performed during childbirth, and an improvement in the emotional health of pregnant women. Conclusion: These results identify the potential benefits of physiological pregnancy monitoring by obstetric nurses compared with family physicians, which can help pregnant women make an informed and conscious decision about following their pregnancy, taking into account the gains for their health and their newborn. Health managers can also use these results to improve human resource management.

Las mujeres eligen diferentes profesionales sanitarios para el seguimiento de su embarazo. Por ello, es fundamental explorar los beneficios del seguimiento del embarazo por parte de una enfermera-matrona, promoviendo la adherencia a este modelo de seguimiento. Objetivo: Identificar los beneficios del seguimiento del embarazo por parte de las enfermeras matronas en comparación con los médicos de familia. Métodos: Revisión bibliográfica integradora en la que se incluyeron seis artículos que fueron analizados exhaustivamente para responder al objetivo planteado. La búsqueda inicial abarcó el período comprendido entre 2015 y 2021 y utilizó las palabras clave "atención prenatal", " enfermera matrona" y "parto". Se recuperaron 393 artículos y se redujeron a seis teniendo en cuenta los criterios de inclusión. La revisión integradora fue descriptiva y se centró en extraer los hallazgos que respondían a la pregunta de investigación. Resultados: Se identificaron varios beneficios del seguimiento del embarazo por parte de una enfermera-matrona en comparación con el mismo seguimiento por parte de un médico de familia: una disminución de la tasa de cesáreas, un aumento de los partos vaginales espontáneos, una reducción de los partos prematuros, una reducción de las intervenciones realizadas durante el parto y una mejora de la salud emocional de las embarazadas. Conclusión: Estos resultados identifican los beneficios potenciales del seguimiento fisiológico del embarazo por parte de las enfermeras obstétricas en comparación con los médicos de familia, lo que puede ayudar a las mujeres embarazadas a tomar una decisión informada y consciente sobre el seguimiento de su embarazo, teniendo en cuenta los beneficios para su salud y la del recién nacido. Los gestores sanitarios también pueden utilizar estos resultados para mejorar la gestión de los recursos humanos.Introdução: A gravidez é um momento de grandes emoções e novos desafios que todas as mulheres atravessam de forma diferente.
