Abstract

Abstract: Background and aims: Our aim was to summarize, analyze and disseminate the current state of knowledge about the barriers and facilitators in postpartum reclassification that women who have had gestational diabetes face. Methods: Data collection was carried out from January to March 2021 in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS), Embase and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) databases. Results: Of the 361 studies initially retrieved in the search, 32 articles published between 2010 and 2020 were selected because they were within our objective. Conclusion: Multiple barriers and interventions were found regarding the reclassification of the glycemic status of women who had Gestational Diabetes during pregnancy. Therefore, further studies are needed to achieve a better intervention for this condition. Highlights: ∙ This review aims to explain the low rates of reclassification of women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in postpartum. ∙The main barriers for postpartum reclassification of glycemic status are discussed. ∙This study presents interventions to adequate care for women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus through their postpartum.
