Abstract

The aim of this study was to map the available evidence about interprofessional care for children and adolescents. It is a scoping review developed by the extensionists from “PET-Saúde/Interprofessionalidade”. We selected primary studies published between 2009 and 2019 that addressed interprofessional care for children and adolescents. We included 35 articles. Based on its contents, three categories were established: the importance of interprofessional education for collaborative care in pediatrics; potentials and challenges of interprofessional collaboration in pediatrics; and the implications of interprofessional care for children and adolescents. This review resulted in mapping the interprofessional care for children and adolescents in the global context, revealing the potential of interprofessional education and collaborative care in the field of pediatrics. In addition, the findings may support changes in education and health practices in the light of interprofessionality, providing improvements in infant and juvenile care.
