Introduction: During the puerperal period the woman becomes more sensitive, requiring more emotional support, attention and affection, as it becomes more susceptible to hormonal, psychological and social changes due to the need to adjust to the new role, that of being a mother, which can lead to internal and external conflicts that can directly influence your mental health. Thus, nursing care for puerperal women is of fundamental importance so that they can understand the emotions and changes experienced in this phase, as well as for the identification and monitoring of these cases. Objective: To analyze what the current literature evidences about nursing care for women with puerperal Blues. Methodology: Literature review in MEDLINE, BDENF, LILACS and PubMed databases. A total of 96 articles were found, of which 23 were pre-selected and after the inclusion criteria were applied, 16 remained. A reading of these in full with peer review was performed, and they were subsequently crossed to discuss the divergences found in order to reduce interpretation errors. Results: According to the literature, about 50% of women present puerperal Blues in up to two weeks postpartum, that if there is no necessary therapy, more than 20% of these women tend to develop postpartum depression (PPD). Conclusion: Therefore, an appropriate approach and performed by trained professionals is paramount to identify the factors associated with puerperal blues during puerperium consultations, so that there is the ideal management to promote a better Quality of life, avoiding mental distress.
