Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common chronic conditions in children and young people. Adolescence is a period of multiple physical and social changes that compromise therapeutic adherence, which is essential for promoting quality of life and preventing associated complications. The aim was to map the existing scientific evidence on nursing interventions that facilitate therapeutic adherence in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The protocol was developed according to the recommendations of the Joanna Briggs Institute. It will include primary, secondary, and gray literature studies covering adolescents with type 1 diabetes and nursing interventions that facilitate therapeutic adherence. Those reporting interventions not performed by nurses will be excluded. Study selection, analysis, and data extraction will be performed by independent reviewers. A PRISMA 2020 flowchart will be presented. Nursing interventions and barriers to adherence will be summarized through tables and narrative synthesis. The scoping review resulting from this protocol will allow the selection of interventions with an impact on the therapeutic adherence process. It will include implications for research.
