Breastfeeding assessment and management instruments: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Different aspects are involved in the breastfeeding process that may vary according to the target population, postpartum phase and evaluation scenario. The identification of such instruments, their constructs and applicability in health services will contribute to the understanding of the most relevant aspects and dissemination of tools that can be implemented in the necessary spaces to promote breast feeding. This article describes a review protocol to map the assessment and management instruments applied to breast feeding in the puerperal period existing in the literature.

Methods and analysis

This is a protocol of a scoping review that follows the methodological recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). In March 2024, a search will be carried out
