Keywords:

Objective: To map the available scientific knowledge on the strategies used for providing palliative care to patients with chronic kidney disease on a hemodialysis program. Method: This is a scoping review protocol based on the review method proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and registered in the Open Science Framework. The research question was developed using the PCC strategy, which includes the following fundamental mnemonic elements: P - Problem (Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease), C - Concept (Palliative Care), C - Context (Hemodialysis Treatment). All article categories that meet the objective will be included, without restriction of language, years, or country. Abstracts published in scientific event proceedings, incomplete articles, book chapters, duplicate studies, documents that do not directly address the proposed theme, or those not fully available will be excluded. The following data sources will be used: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINALH), EMBASE, MEDLINE/Pubmed, ProQuest, SCOPUS, and Web of Science. Initially, a selection of studies will be performed by reviewing the titles and abstracts of the identified references, with the support of the Rayyan QCR tool. Results: Results will be presented in the form of tables, flowcharts, and figures. Conclusion: This study is expected to provide evidence on the main palliative care strategies used in the care of patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.
