- Abstract
Objective: to investigate the definition of nipple trauma related to breastfeeding, the types of trauma and their treatments in the literature. Method: scope review. The following were consulted: PubMed; Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS); Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL); SCOPUS; Web of Science; Nursing database (BDENF), EMBASE and Cochrane Library. Studies published from 2015 to 2020 were included. Results: the final sample consisted of 23 articles, 14 of which addressed the definition of nipple trauma. This event includes pain, one of the most common problems during breastfeeding and a relevant factor for early weaning. Proper positioning and latch-on is the best way to prevent and treat it. Conclusion: there is no standardization regarding the definition of nipple trauma and the different types. There is a need for refinement of the nomenclature, in order to assist in the diagnosis and adequate treatment.
