Abstract

Purpose Statement: The purpose of this study is to determine the different nutritional nursing management for the treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum.

Scope and Delimitations: The study focuses on nutritional nursing management for hyperemesis gravidarum, covering studies worldwide. Furthermore, the study was strictly limited to published literature in the English language that was available in full-text and hospital settings.

Methodology: This systematic review investigated nutritional nursing management practices for hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Researchers screened 12,855 articles from four chosen databases, focusing on pregnant clients requiring HG treatment. Six studies were selected using the Joanna Briggs Institute’s systematic literature review tool, ensuring quality assessment. Data extraction followed JBI’s critical appraisal tool and PRISMA flow diagram, enhancing validity. Thematic synthesis identified recurring themes, supporting evidence-based nursing practice.

Findings: Across six articles included in the systematic review, a total of seventeen (17) codes were gathered and analyzed. These codes are then grouped into four (4) themes and revealed that watermelon, ginger, and ice food such as vanilla ice cream were effective in alleviating the symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the systematic review underscores the pivotal role of nursing care in managing hyperemesis gravidarum. Nutritional nursing interventions face challenges such as patient adherence and intervention-related issues. Addressing these limitations requires a holistic approach, emphasizing ongoing education and the need for tailored care to enhance patient outcomes and satisfaction.
