Abstract

Introduction: At present, it is known that systemic lupus erythematosus does not affect fertility; however, pregnancy in these women is associated with risks, both maternal and fetal. Objective: To determine the variables involved in the preparation and control of pregnancy in women with systemic lupus erythematosus, as well as the most important nursing actions. Material and Method: An integrative review has been carried out through a search in the ProQuest, PubMed and Web of Science databases. Original, observational and review scientific articles were included, in English and Spanish, excluding those articles published before 2009 or that were not in full text in the databases. Results: 15 articles published between 2009 and 2019 have been included. Pregnancy in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus is complex. Comprehensive and continuous control is required to achieve good results. A change of treatment, laboratory tests from time to time and the monitoring of a multidisciplinary team will control the disease and will reduce the risk of maternal and fetal complications. Conclusions: Currently, most women with systemic lupus erythematosus can achieve the goal of motherhood, if the disease is controlled at least 6 months before conception and throughout pregnancy. The most determinant variables in pregnancy of women with systemic lupus erythematosus are fertility, complications or treatment, which directly influence pregnancy
