Objective:
This systematic review will identify and synthesize the available qualitative evidence regarding parents' experiences of health literacy in parenting infants at home.
Introduction:
Parental health literacy, which is essential for parents' and children's health, is associated with parents' health knowledge, parenting practices, and children's health outcomes. Parents face difficulties pertaining to their health literacy skills in daily health education and health care for their infants; therefore, understanding their parenting experience with infants from a health literacy perspective is important for health professionals. This review will evaluate and integrate qualitative evidence regarding parental experiences of health literacy in daily parenting of infants at home.
Inclusion Criteria:
This review will include qualitative data from empirical studies describing parents' experiences of health literacy in parenting infants at home. Parents of infants (0-1 year of age) living at home in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development member countries will be included.
Methods:
This review will follow the JBI approach for qualitative systematic reviews. The following databases will be searched for published and unpublished studies: MEDLINE (EBSCOhost), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), and ProQuest Health and Medical Collection (in English and Japanese); Open Access Theses and Dissertations (in English); and Ichushi-Web, CiNii, and the Institutional Repositories Database (in Japanese). Study selection, data extraction, and critical appraisal of the methodological quality of studies will be undertaken by 2 reviewers independently. Data synthesis will be conducted using the meta-aggregation approach, and the synthesized findings will be assessed using the ConQual approach.
