This phenomenon, marked by the coexistence of pregnancy and substance use, poses significant health challenges. Research questions: To identify the prevalence, associated factors, complications, therapeutic approach, and nursing interventions in pregnant women who use psychoactive substances in Latin America. Methodology: This research is framed as a literature review due to the nature of the type of research. The bibliographic sources published between 2019 and 2023 were consulted in specialized health databases, including Scopus, Dianlet, PubMed, Readilat, ResearchGate, SciELO, and Science Direct through search techniques. Results: The prevalence of psychoactive substance use has a mean of 32.1%, in which alcohol is considered the most common. Factors associated with drug use highlight the significant influence of a disadvantaged socioeconomic environment. The complications during pregnancy are prenatal exposure and neurological problems, and a comprehensive therapeutic approach is required, through the combination of individualized counselling, detoxification programs, and opioid replacement therapy. Nursing interventions during pregnancy focus on different aspects, such as education about hazards, emotional support, early identification of hazards, and promotion of healthy habits. Conclusion: Nursing intervention is key to addressing this issue, where the variability in prevalence rates reflects the diversity of influential factors. Nurses play an essential role in providing comprehensive care to pregnant women.
