Objectives:
to map the care required for the transition of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis to the home environment.
Methods:
a scoping review was conducted following the JBI guidelines. The search for publications on the topic was carried out in databases such as PubMed and Web of Science between February and May 2023. Full-text studies that addressed the research objective were included. Letters to the editor, editorials, and opinion articles were excluded.
Results:
the final sample consisted of seven articles. Regarding care, the studies highlighted assistance with basic life needs, care planning, protocol development, the use of telehealth, and communication between healthcare services.
Conclusions:
the care required for the transition of individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis to the home environment ranges from assistance with basic human needs to the coordination with other healthcare services. Altogether, these actions contribute to a safe and effective transitional process.
