Abstract:

During puerperium, women experience neurobiological changes and psychosocial changes, which determine variations in cognitive functioning. In order to describe the cognitive variations that occur during postpartum and its determining factors, a narrative review was conductedthe bibliographic search in PubMed and Google Scholar. A steady climb in the number of published works was found (PubMed = 186, Google Scholar = 26730). The analysis of the articles allowed: a) Characterize the cognitive functions during the puerperium; b) Analyze the neuropsychological effects produced by the endocrinological and anatomophysiological changes; c) Analyze the effect of sleep quality on cognition; d) Analyze cognitive functions according to obstetric experiences. In conclusion, puerperal women are characterized by variations in their cognitive functions, which are determined by structural, functional, psychological and social changes. It is necessary to promote neuropsychological research in this population, since postpartum care still focuses on the care of the newborn, without addressing the puerperal woman integraly.
