DOI: 10.31508/1676-3793202414i
Abstract
Objective
To map palliative care training strategies to prepare the healthcare team working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Methods
A scoping review carried out in the Pubmed, BDENF, Medline and LILACS databases between June and August 2023, based on the inclusion criteria: scientific articles published and available in Portuguese, English or Spanish, published between 2018 and 2023 and available in full for online access. The review followed the JBI recommendations and used the PRISMA extension.
Results
Seven studies were included, and from the data analysis, three categorical strategies emerged that involved the main educational strategies for palliative care in neonatology: theoretical expository approach; clinical discussion and simulation.
Conclusion
There is a need to train health professionals from the time they graduate, using the various teaching methods presented, as well as to draw up and implement ongoing training protocols for professionals working in neonatal units, since palliative care approaches involve integrated care for NBs and their families.
