Nursing consultations in perinatal mental health: scoping review protocol
| Resumo: | Introduction: Perinatal mental health is a public health priority, given the high prevalence of emotional disorders during pregnancy and the postpartum period, and their impacts on maternal well-being, child development, and family dynamics. Nursing plays a central role in the promotion, prevention and intervention in this area, justifying the systematic mapping of existing consultations and interventions. Objectives: To map and characterize mental health nursing consultations and interventions aimed at women in the perinatal period, describing implementation modalities, interventions and structured programs in care contexts. Methodology: Scoping review protocol to be carried out according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and to be reported according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The search was carried out in international nursing and health databases, without time or linguistic restrictions. Studies describing nursing consultations and perinatal mental health interventions were included. Conclusions: This review aims to systematize and comprehensively map the available evidence on nursing interventions in perinatal mental health. The findings are expected to support evidence-based practice, clinical decision-making, and the identification of priority gaps for future research and service development. |
