Atuação dos Enfermeiros na Promoção da Parentalidade Positiva na Primeira Infância: Scoping Review

Background: Positive parenting involves caregiving practices that meet children’s physical and emotional needs. Primary Health Care (PHC) plays a key role in promoting child health, with nurses assuming an important role in supporting parenting practices. Objective: To map the scientific evidence on nurses’ role in promoting positive parenting during early childhood in the context of PHC. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted through a search in five databases, following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines and the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. Results: Twenty-one studies were included. Most nursing interventions were conducted in healthcare facilities, followed by home visits and virtual care. The most frequently addressed component of the Nurturing Care Framework was responsive caregiving, followed by adequate nutrition, early learning, and safety and security. Conclusion: By implementing actions that promote positive parenting, nurses contribute not only to children’s well-being but also to family health and balance.
