| Resumo: | Introduction: Children's health vulnerability is multifactorial; it arises from a combination of several factors that place children at risk.Objectives: To map the existing scientific evidence and literature regarding health vulnerability in the pediatric population and in nursing care. Materials and Methods: A Scoping Review was conducted following the methodology suggested by the Joanna Briggs Institute. A search was conducted in the CINAHL Complete®, Pubmed®, and Scopus® databases from February to April 2024, using DeCS/MeSH descriptors in Portuguese and English.Results: In this scoping review, 13 studies were eligible for inclusion, primarily exploratory and literature reviews. Their publication dates were between 2006 and 2024. The selected articles address the topic of health vulnerability in children, which were grouped as follows: health diagnoses with a higher risk of vulnerability; belonging to the LGBTI+ group; Habits, behaviours, and lifestyles; and the impact of context. The data highlight the important role of nursing interventions in preventing disease, developing healthy behaviours, empowering children and families, and improving health outcomes.Conclusion: The need to promote and streamline scientific research in Portugal on health vulnerability in children is emphasised to enable better, more individualised nursing care for the pediatric population. The relationship between the concept of health vulnerability and specific health diagnoses, minority populations, high-risk habits, and context was verified. |
