Intervenções de enfermagem no manejo da dor mamária e seus efeitos na continuidade do aleitamento materno: revisão integrativa da literatura

Abstract

Breastfeeding is an essential physiological process for maternal and child health, contributing to the child’s nutritional, immunological, and emotional development, as well as providing physical and psychological benefits to women. However, breast complications and pain during lactation may compromise the continuity of breastfeeding, especially in the puerperal period. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of nursing interventions in managing breast pain and their impact on breastfeeding continuity. An integrative literature review with a qualitative and descriptive approach was conducted, including studies published between 2015 and 2025. The findings indicate that evidence-based interventions, combined with continuous support and a welcoming approach, reduce breast complications, prevent early weaning, and strengthen the mother–infant bond. Strengthening nursing care is therefore essential to ensure successful and sustained breastfeeding.
