Abstract

Aim(s): To identify, synthesise and map systematic reviews of the effectiveness of nursing interventions undertaken in a neonatal intensive care unit or special care nursery.
Design: This scoping review was conducted according to the JBI scoping review
framework.
Methods: Review included systematic reviews that evaluated any nurse-initiated interventions that were undertaken in an NICU or SCN setting. Studies that reported
one or more positive outcomes related to the nursing interventions were only considered for this review. Each outcome for nursing interventions was rated a ‘certainty
(quality) of evidence’ according to the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment,
Development and Evaluations criteria.
Data Sources: Systematic reviews were sourced from the Cochrane Database of
Systematic Reviews and Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence Synthesis for reviews published until February 2023.
Results: A total of 428 articles were identified; following screening, 81 reviews underwent full-text screening, and 34 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included
in this review. Multiple nursing interventions reporting positive outcomes were identified and were grouped into seven categories. Respiratory 7/34 (20%) and Nutrition
8/34 (23%) outcomes were the most reported categories. Developmental care was
the next most reported category 5/34 (15%) followed by Thermoregulation, 5/34
(15%) Jaundice 4/34 (12%), Pain 4/34 (12%) and Infection 1/34 (3%).
