Thyroid disorders are common in women in the reproductive phase, this occurs due to a deficiency in iodine supplementation or because of immunological changes. Hypothyroidism during pregnancy is uncommon, however, when it is present, it triggers adverse effects for both the pregnant woman and the fetus. In this review, the objective was to identify the actions that nurses can take to contribute to screening and coping with this pathology among pregnant women. The research contributes to a more nursing-focused approach. The SPIDER method was used to answer the research question, and eight articles were selected from the LILACS virtual library that addressed the importance of nurses in early screening for thyroid disorders in prenatal consultations, in monitoring the treatment of pregnant women diagnosed with hypothyroidism, in health education, monitoring the nutritional status of pregnant women and preventing complications arising from hypothyroidism.
