Abstract
Objective
To synthesise current evidence on the recognition of signs and symptoms of pre-eclampsia and to examine how this recognition supports safe nursing care in primary health care.
Methods
A narrative review with a structured literature search was undertaken. PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO and relevant peer-reviewed journal platforms were searched for publications from 2020 to 2025 using combinations of terms related to pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, nursing, primary health care, antenatal care, signs, symptoms, knowledge and education. Peer-reviewed clinical guidelines, reviews, observational studies and educational interventions directly relevant to the review question were prioritised.
