Introduction
Optimizing children's development is one of the responsibilities inherent to the practice of
parenting.1 However, children with chronic illness and their families may experience
difficulties, with regard to stimuli and experiences, which make fluid child development
impossible, in its various dimensions.2 The preliminary research carried out reveals that
nursing interventions to promote parenting and child development in children with chronic
illnesses are scattered in the literature, with no scoping review on the topic identified.
Objective
To map nursing interventions that promote parenting and the development of children
with chronic illnesses.
Methods
Carrying out a scoping review protocol, according to the methodology proposed by the
Joanna Briggs Institute3 and in accordance with PRISMA-ScR. Eligibility criteria will be
defined based on population, concept and context (PCC). Regarding the search strategy
and identification of studies, the following electronic databases will be used: MEDLINE
Complete (via PubMed), CINAHL Complete (via EBSCO), Psychology and Behavioral
Sciences Collection, ERIC, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MedicLatina,
SCOPUS, Web of Science, as well as gray literature. The research will be carried out in three
stages. The research, analysis of the relevance of studies and data extraction and synthesis
will be carried out by two independent reviewers.
Results
In an initial phase, with the aim of identifying the keywords used and indexing terms, a
restricted search was carried out in the CINAHL Complete (via EBSCO) and MEDLINE
Complete (via PubMed) databases, from which around 537 and 72 records were obtained,
respectively.
Conclusion
It is expected that this protocol will facilitate the carrying out of the scoping review
presented and serve as a tool for subsequent research production, within the scope of
promoting parenting and child development in children with chronic illness and their
families.
