Abstract
BackgroundMany nurses report feeling underprepared and insecure about the mandated reporting of concern for child maltreatment, which is further compounded by parental disability. PurposeThis scoping review examined the body of literature on nurse mandated reporting responsibility within the context of parental disability. MethodA scoping review was conducted as informed by the Arksey and O’Malley Framework and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. FindingsInitial database search identified 2,669 records, which then underwent title and abstract screening (n=2458), assessment for full text review (n=53), and full review (n=28). Analysis of 106 quantitative and 22 qualitative variables revealed sparse evidence and guidance to help nurses navigate mandated reporting of child abuse in families with parental disability. DiscussionFindings identified opportunities to inform research, policy, and practice to better meet the needs of nurse mandated reporters and families with parental disability.
