Abstract
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.
