RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of complex chronic conditions (CCC), which cause serious limitations and require specialized care, is increasing. The diagnosis of a CCC is a health-illness transition for children and their parents, representing a long-term change leading to greater vulnerability. Knowing the characteristics of these transitional processes is important for promoting safe transitions in this population. This scoping review aimed to map the available evidence on health-illness transition processes in children with complex chronic conditions and their parents in the context of healthcare. METHODS: Six databases were searched for studies focusing on children aged 0-21 years with CCC and their parents experiencing health-illness transition processes, particularly concerning adaptation to illness and continuity of care, in the context of healthcare. Studies within this scope carried out between 2013 and 2023 and written in Portuguese or English were identified. The articles were selected using the PRISMA methodology. The data were extracted to an instrument and then presented with a synthesizing approach supporting the interpretation of the results. RESULTS: Ninety-eight methodologically broad but predominantly qualitative articles were included in this review. Children with CCC have specific needs associated with complex and dynamic health-illness transitions with a multiple influence in their daily lives. Several facilitating factors (p.e. positive communication and a supportive therapeutic relationship with parents and professionals, as well as involvement in a collaborative approach to care), inhibiting factors (p.e. the complexity of the disease and therapeutic regime, as well as the inefficient organization and coordination of teams) and both positive (p.e. well-being and better quality of life) and negative response patterns (p.e. negative feelings about the chronic illness) were identified. Some interventions to support the transitional process also emerged from the literature. Pediatric palliative care is seen as a good practice and an integrative approach for these children and families. CONCLUSION: Health professionals play a fundamental role in supporting the transitional process and promoting positive response patterns. More significant investment is needed at the clinical and academic levels regarding production and dissemination of knowledge in this area to ensure the awareness of children with CCC and that their needs are fully enhanced.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the learning outcomes and skills obtained of undergraduate nursing students involved in research projects. Methods: This was an integrative literature review, based on a research protocol in the CINAHL Complete databases; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; Cochrane Methodology Register; MedicLatina; MEDLINE, Scopus and JBI, including primary and secondary studies, published between 2015 and 2020. Results: A total of five heterogeneous articles were included, which were categorized using Kirkpatrick's (adapted) model. Seventeen learning outcomes acquired through participation in research projects were identified, from the learning of new knowledge and skills to the development of new attitudes and behaviors. Final considerations: The involvement of nursing students in research projects is important to their professional development. Future investment in research on this topic can help cement the potential of this type of student involvement.
RESUMEN Objetivo: Identificar aprendizajes y competencias desarrollados por estudiantes de Licenciatura en Enfermería involucrados en proyectos de investigación. Métodos: Revisión integrativa de la literatura, partiendo de un protocolo de investigación en las bases de datos CINAHL Complete; Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews; Cochrane Methodology Register; MedicLatina; MEDLINE; Scopus y JBI, habiéndose incluido estudios primarios y secundarios publicados entre 2015 y 2020. Resultados: Se incluyeron cinco artículos heterogéneos, categorizados según el Modelo de Kirkpatrick (adaptado). Se identificaron diecisiete resultados de aprendizajes adquiridos por la participación en proyectos de investigación, desde el aprendizaje de nuevos conocimientos y competencias al desarrollo de nuevas actitudes y conductas. Consideraciones Finales: La participación de estudiantes de Licenciatura en Enfermería en proyectos de investigación se inscribe como de suma importancia para su desarrollo profesional. La inversión futura en investigación sobre esta temática podrá contribuir a cimentar el potencial de esta participación.
RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar aprendizagens e competências desenvolvidas pelos estudantes da Licenciatura em Enfermagem envolvidos em projetos de investigação.
