Care-Educational Technologies Used by Nurses to Promote Parenting and Prevent Child Violence: A Scoping Review

Abstract We mapped the care-educational technologies that nurses use to promote parenting, with a focus on child protection and violence prevention. We conducted a scoping review following JBI Brazilian Centre for Evidence-Based Health Care guidelines and reported it according to the PRISMA-ScR checklist. We searched Medline/PubMed, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, PsycINFO. The research question was developed using the PCC framework, focusing on nurses, care-educational technologies, and parenting promotion aimed at child protection and violence prevention. We selected studies, extracted data, and synthesized the findings systematically following JBI recommendations. We registered the review protocol in the Open Science Framework. We included 31 studies, with a noticeable increase in publications after 2010. Care-educational technologies were organized into two main categories: process-based technologies, including home visits, group interventions, workshops, counseling, and follow-up strategies; and product-based technologies, including educational materials, media, digital resources, and standardized instruments. These technologies were mainly used to support parenting practices, promote parent–child bonding, facilitate access to information, and contribute to child protection and violence prevention. Future research should further examine their implementation, feasibility, sustainability, and long-term outcomes across different contexts.
