Summary
Nurse-led supervisory programs enhance community caregiver support through education and training. These programs reduce caregiver burden and improve care quality, with telehealth showing promise.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Community Health
- Caregiver Support
Background:
- Informal caregivers provide essential support in community settings.
- Nurse-led interventions are crucial for optimizing caregiver roles.
- Existing supervisory programs for caregivers require comprehensive mapping.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically map nurse-led supervisory programs for community caregivers.
- To identify program components, implementation contexts, and target outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive scoping review following JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
- Searched 12 databases for studies published since 1993 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
- Two independent reviewers screened studies on nurse-led supervisory programs for informal caregivers.
Main Results:
- Eleven studies were included, detailing diverse program structures.
- Programs predominantly featured educational sessions, skills training, and home visits.
- Telehealth interventions were utilized in one program, aiming to enhance care quality and safety.
Conclusions:
- Nurse-led programs effectively support caregivers via education and training, reducing burden and improving care.
- Structured programs with educational components and follow-up are beneficial for community caregivers.
- Telehealth warrants further investigation as a complementary approach; rigorous research is needed.

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...
