Introduction: The evidence identifies gaps in the preparation of older person's caregiver in the transition process from hospital to home. Caregivers perceive their care as inadequately prepared, while health professionals also face challenges in this process.
Objective/s: Map the interventions aimed at the caregiver of the older person during the transition from hospital to home.
Methods: A scoping review will be conducted in accord with the JBI methodology. This review will consider studies that approach informal caregivers of older people (Population), interventions used in transitional care (Concept) and specifically in the context of the hospital-home transition (Context), primary quantitative/qualitative and secondary, published and unpublished, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, in any year of publication. The search for evidence will include seven databases. Two reviewers will independently select the studies and extract the data. The results will be presented in narrative form and using tables.
Results: The proposal is to include studies that approach this concept of interest, in order to map the interventions and their characteristics.
Conclusion: Conducting this scoping review is essential to synthesize interventions in this field, to produce the implementation of a systematized approach to older people's caregivers.
