Validated Tools In Brazil To Guide Nursing Consultations In Primary Health Care: Scoping Review

The scoping review will investigate the instruments validated in Brazil to guide nursing consultations in primary health care. The search for primary and secondary studies will be conducted in the BVS, PubMed and Scopus databases. In addition, grey literature will be consulted manually and the reference lists of retrieved studies will be examined to identify potentially eligible studies that were not found in the initial search. The identified studies, without duplicates, will be assessed and selected according to pre-defined eligibility criteria, starting with the reading of the title and abstract, followed by the analysis of the full text of the selected studies. Data from the selected studies will be rigorously analysed and recorded by completing a characterisation table. All stages are carried out by two independent, blinded reviewers and any disagreements are resolved by a third reviewer. The validated instruments identified in the selected studies will be systematically organised and presented in the form of a narrative synthesis, divided into categories according to their similarity, in a descriptive table.
