Lasit fáddágilkoriid | Čoahkkáigeassu: | Urinary tract infections (UTIs) during pregnancy represent a significant global public health concern, associated with various anatomical and physiological factors inherent to gestation. These infections can lead to serious complications for both the mother and the neonate, including spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, and low birth weight. The objective of this study was to analyze urinary tract infections in relation to preterm birth, identify associated risk factors, explore potential complications, and assess self-care needs during pregnancy, based on a review of multiple studies. The methodology employed was documentary and descriptive, grounded in the analysis of 111 scientific articles obtained from databases such as the Regional Portal of the Virtual Health Library, Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, SciELO, Dialnet, Redalyc, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria comprised recent publications (from the past five years), in either Spanish or English, with full-text availability and direct relevance to the study topic. The results indicate that the main risk factors include social, economic, biological, and behavioral conditions, which increase the likelihood of maternal and neonatal complications, raising the risk of morbidity and mortality. Regarding self-care needs, the importance of adherence to prenatal care and the management of associated comorbidities is emphasized. The study concludes that urinary tract infections during pregnancy are a significant risk factor for complications such as preterm birth and low birth weight. Additional contributing factors include comorbidities, anatomical and physiological alterations, and hygiene habits. The implementation of preventive strategies— particularly self-care and strict adherence to prenatal care is essential for reducing these risks and improving maternal and fetal health outcomes. Self-care and consistent prenatal monitoring are fundamental to mitigating these complications. |
