Abstract

Objective: Identify the Educational Technologies proposed for pregnant women, published in the last 5 years. Methods: This is an integrative review, carried out in the MEDLINE, LILACS and BDENF databases, from May to June 2021. Inclusion criteria were: complete articles, available online, in Portuguese and/or English and that addressed the chosen theme. The period for cutting was 2016 to 2021. Exclusion criteria: publications in the form letters, reviews and editorials; theses, dissertations, monographs; duplicates; no convergence with the research question; whose method is not well described; with full text unavailable; and that have not been produced for the Brazilian reality. Results: The final sample consisted of 20 articles, in which regional inequality was highlighted both in scientific production and in the focus of studies, the use of mobile applications, gaps in issues that need to be addressed by technologies aimed at pregnant women and that these technologies are being applied to the target audience. Final considerations: There is an increase in publications and the role of nursing in the construction, validation and application of Educational Technologies. However, they still need to grow in prenatal care.
