Objective:
This scoping review aims to examine the characteristics of the development, implementation, and/or evaluation of a professional practice model (PPM) for pediatric nursing in Westernized countries.
Introduction:
PPMs in nursing are designed to improve excellence in nursing practice and have shown to improve the work environment. Despite the comprehensive insights from the literature on this topic, it predominantly focuses on adult care settings, leaving a gap in the literature regarding pediatric-specific PPMs.
Eligibility Criteria:
This review will consider evidence sources that include PPMs developed, implemented, and/or evaluated in at least 1 inpatient pediatric unit admitting children aged from birth to 18 years in Westernized countries. This review excludes PPMs established solely in adult care contexts and PPMs developed for specific nursing roles.
Methods:
We will follow the JBI method for scoping reviews. Evidence sources using any study design published from 2015 up to the date of the search in any language will be included. A 3-step search strategy will be used to search CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest ABI/inform collection, Business Source Premier, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, and BASE. Complementary searches will be done in Google Scholar and backward and forward citation searching of included evidence sources will be performed. Two independent reviewers will perform study selection and data extraction, and any disagreements will be resolved with a third reviewer. Data extraction and analysis will be performed using a chart to compare patterns, trends, and gaps in the literature.
