Objective:
To map scientific evidence on nursing health technologies in the prevention and control of Hepatitis A.
Method:
Scoping review conducted in 2024 according to JBI recommendations and reported following PRISMA-ScR criteria. The search was carried out (10/06/2024) in databases and gray literature. The technologies found were classified as: soft, soft-hard, and hard. The results were analyzed descriptively and synthesized.
Results:
Ten studies were selected, all from the USA. Technologies include vaccination; serological testing; health education; reminders in health information systems; peer coaching training; case management; consultations; notification of diseases and injuries; clinical screening; and monitoring and tracking. Hard technologies prevailed.
Conclusion:
Primary Health Care stood out as the main focus, mainly addressing vaccination and health education. Secondary and Tertiary Care, in turn, focused on clinical screening and continuity of care. The concentration of studies of American origin reinforces the perception of literary insipience and possible negligence and lack of technical preparation in the prevention and control of Hepatitis A.
