Abstract
The aim was to identify the existing challenges, determinants, policies, and strategies to ensure the availability and accessibility of nursing personnel by the population in Brazil. Scoping review of peer-reviewed papers and technical and political documents. Eight scientific databases will be searched (such as PubMed, BVS, and EMBASE). Sources of unpublished studies/ grey literature to be searched include websites from the Ministry of Health, councils, and institutions. No language or publication date restrictions will apply. The review will consider documents that contain information regarding nursing personnel in the Brazilian context and address: I. the challenge of availability and/or accessibility of nursing personnel; II. the causes of the challenge; or III: strategies to deal with the challenge: either (a) in a state of description of implemented interventions or (b) evaluation of the strategy in its implementation stage. The result will be described in a narrative way, descriptive statistics will be presented as necessary, and the information will be grouped, summarized, and compared. For the qualitative analysis of the documents, both inductive and deductive thematic content analysis will be used. The results can reveal information about gaps and imbalances in the workforce, enabling the implementation of strategies to address these challenges.
