Abstract

Neonatal outcomes contribute over 50% to under-five child mortality globally. Given that nurses in low- and lower-middle-income countries are often primary care providers, they are ideally positioned to impact outcomes. Our scoping review aims to explore how neonatal nurses in LMICs are represented in global health research.

Methods

This review was constructed using Arksey and O'Malley's five-step framework. Five databases were utilized in the search, and grey literature was included.

Results

A total of 651 articles were yielded, with 31 included in our review. We constructed themes based on the philosophical conceptualization of nursing knowledge as knowledge about nursing, knowledge for nursing, and knowledge of nursing.

Conclusion

Representation of neonatal nursing in LMIC in global health research is extremely limited. Literature that exists primarily describes challenges in neonatal nursing or provides practice-specific knowledge for nurses to utilize. Further, research exploring knowledge of nurses that does exist has been entirely driven by Western, non-nursing perspectives.

中低收入国家的新生儿护理研究：范围审查

新生儿死亡率占全球五岁以下儿童死亡率的 50%以上。鉴于低收入和中低收入国家的护士通常是初级护理提供者，她们处于影响结果的理想位置。我们的范围界定综述旨在探讨低收入和中低收入国家的新生儿护士在全球健康研究中的代表性。结果共收到 651 篇文章，其中 31 篇被纳入我们的综述。我们根据护理知识的哲学概念构建了主题，即关于护理的知识、护理的知识和护理的知识。现有文献主要描述了新生儿护理面临的挑战，或为护士提供了具体实践知识。此外，探索护士知识的研究完全由西方非护理视角驱动。
