ABSTRACT: Purpose: Carrying out a scoping review to fill gaps in current knowledge regarding comfort needs in the care provided by nurses to girls/women who experience puerperium. Methods: The procedures guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute will be applied. The searches will be carried out in the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Excerpta Medica Database, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Nursing Database, Scientific Electronic Library databases. Studies which are available in full and published in English, Spanish or Portuguese will be selected. There will be no restrictions to the study design or time frame. Two reviewers will independently screen all citations with the aid of software. The degree of agreement between the researchers will be verified by statistics that measure reliability. Through narrative descriptions, charts, and tables, we will present the results obtained. Data analysis will involve descriptive statistics, and qualitative evaluation. We will use the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist to review and write this review. Conclusion: We will summarize the main information available in the literature on the subject, aiming to obtain an overview of the practices employed, and the gaps present in knowledge that require greater attention from the scientific community.
