Objective:
to map the characteristics of Anthroposophy-enhanced nursing care in healthcare services.
Method:
a scoping review guided by the JBI. Eighteen sources of information were included, and original articles and gray literature published without restrictions concerning year or language were considered. After removing duplicates, the selection was conducted by two blind and independent reviewers. Data were extracted based on a script and presented in flowchart and table formats.
Results:
the 12 studies selected in this review showed that the characteristics of Anthroposophy-enhanced nursing care are related to the knowledge and skills for applying compresses, baths, foot baths, rhythmical Einreibung, pentagram body Einreibung, poultices, and medication administration in different healthcare settings, for acute or chronic conditions.
Conclusion:
Anthroposophy-enhanced nursing care in healthcare services is a promising specialty in the global scenario of integrative and complementary practices. In this sense, future studies are needed to validate it and to enhance the curative aspects of care. Register: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/NV6D5.
