Drug use is one of the factors associated with high-risk pregnancies, while healthcare professionals’ beliefs and attitudes can potentially hinder healthcare delivery. This study aimed to identify the attitudes of professionals towards pregnant drug users. A bibliographic search was conducted between 2000 and June 2022 in the following databases: Scielo, Lilacs, Medline/Pubmed, Scopus, and PsycINFO. Twenty-seven papers written in English were analyzed. Negative attitudes were reported by 33.3% of the papers. In comparison, 44.5% of the papers reported positive attitudes, and ambivalent attitudes were reported by 22.2%. Additionally, some studies listed barriers impeding interventions. Negative and moralizing attitudes denote an individualizing character. Conversely, positive attitudes play an essential role in professional practice and maternal and fetal health.

Palabras llave : pregnant women; substance abuse; attitude; beliefs; health personnel.
