Resources for health literacy among caregivers of prematurely born children: a scoping review.

Abstract

<h4>Objectives</h4>to map the available evidence on resources used to promote health literacy among caregivers of prematurely born children during outpatient follow-up.<h4>Methods</h4>the Joanna Briggs Institute's scope review protocol was utilized. The search encompassed six databases, incorporating studies from 2012 to 2022.<h4>Results</h4>the three included publications revealed that the resources employed are: mobile applications, phone calls, individual counseling, videos, educational pamphlets, and group discussions. Implementing an education protocol during the transition home enhances scientifically grounded health promotion rates.<h4>Conclusions</h4>there is limited literature addressing the health literacy of these caregivers. The nursing team plays a crucial role in health education and in developing resources applicable to these families.
