Abstract

Objective: Describing guidelines for post-cardiac transplant care and identifying the main needs of patients, caregivers, and professionals, in addition to the available educational digital technologies to expand the knowledge of patients, caregivers, and professionals involved in heart transplantation. Method: The method is registered in the Open Science Framework platform (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/95NYM) and will follow the steps described in the Joanna Briggs Institute Review Manual, employing the guidelines of the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. The search strategy was based on DeCS/MeSH descriptors and the natural language of the databases consulted (Web of Science, MEDLINE/PubMed, LILACS, EMBASE, SCOPUS, CINAHL, CAPES portal, and Google Scholar). After the search, duplicate studies will be removed using the EndNote manager. Remaining studies will be exported to the Rayyan software, where titles and abstracts will be analyzed, and full texts will be read by independent blind reviewers. Any disagreement will be resolved through discussion with a third reviewer. The results of the search and the study inclusion process will be presented in detail in the final scoping review and illustrated in a PRISMA flow diagram.
