Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the impact of the maternal-neonatal morbidity and mortality indicator, through the difficulties experienced by nurses in attending prenatal care at usual risk. Methods: This was an integrative review, with a quantitative approach and a descriptive character, in which four articles were identified, which comprised the study sample, from the databases BDENF, LILACS, MEDLINE and PUBMED. Results: Some difficulties encountered by nursing staff related to prenatal care at usual risk were delayed, such as delay in the results of the requested tests, absence of reference and counter-referral, lack of material and technological resources, physical space of the health post inadequate for quality care, limitation of nurses in requesting exams and lack of teamwork, lack of specific theoretical and practical training, among others. Final considerations: This study is expected to provide a critical reflection and encourage the development of other studies that deepen the theme under study, aiming to minimize the morbidity and mortality rates in its maternal-neonatal component, through actions that integrate all levels of attention : promotion, prevention and health care of pregnant women and newborns.
