Participants must be pregnant at the time of the study. Participants may be first-time pregnant women or have had prior pregnancies and children. Participants will be included regardless of their marital status or age.

Participants must be in medically confirmed suspected preterm labour (after examination) or have a diagnosis of spontaneous preterm labour. Threatened preterm labour may start with contractions, preterm pre-labour rupture of the membranes or bleeding. Participants must be less than 37 weeks’ gestation. The participant must have received a medical assessment (via clinical assessment such as history taking, observations, speculum examination, biomarker test or transvaginal ultrasound measurement of cervical length) to define them as being in suspected preterm labour or diagnosed preterm labour.

Medically induced, indicated or iatrogenic preterm birth will be excluded. This includes exclusion of previously known planned preterm delivery (for example maternal factors such as pre-eclampsia and obstetric cholestasis). Studies that include infants diagnosed in utero with genetic and chromosomal conditions, congenital neurological problems, birth defects and/or other conditions of the foetus (for example extreme growth restriction) will not be included.

Studies based in upper-middle and high income countries as classified by the World Bank will be included (The World Bank, 2019).

The World Bank (2019) 'World Bank list of economies'. Available at: https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/906519-world-… (Accessed: 19 September 2019).

An annual worldwide figure of 14.84 million babies are estimated to have been born preterm before 37 weeks of gestation in 2014 remaining “a crucial risk in child mortality” and a factor for consideration when improving maternal and newborn care quality (Chawanpaiboon et al., 2018, p. e37). Medical advances in the field of neonatology “have resulted in increased survival rates, particularly among extremely premature infants” which has been “associated with a subsequent increase in morbidity” (Suff et al., 2019, p. 27). Current research has yielded a number of predictors of preterm birth, some of which include cervical length measurement, ultrasound parameters (presence of ‘amniotic fluid sludge’) and biomarkers (fetal fibronectin, inflammatory markers and cytokines vaginal microbiome) (Suff et al., 2019). Tocolysis (suppression of preterm labour) and maternal corticosteroids (steroid medication for the mother) may commence in addition to magnesium sulfate (medication for the mother) when labour is established (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, 2015).

Suff et al. (2019, p. 27) identify the importance of predictive tests for preterm birth, both for reassurance for women who aren’t likely to deliver preterm but also for those considered higher risk “given the huge personal, economic, and health impacts of preterm birth”.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, 2018, p. 27) specifies that “patient experts explained that preterm labour is associated with substantial anxiety, particularly when a diagnosis is difficult to confirm” and that the “understanding whether preterm labour is established is of considerable importance to pregnant women” further stating the “importance of communicating the risks and benefits associated with the different diagnostic options so that women are able to understand the test results” in addition to explanation of false negative results (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, 2018, p. 27).

Gordon (2019, p. 61), when exploring the experiences of women with threatened preterm labour, identified practice implications for clinicians to “be aware of the anxiety and uncertainty women experience when inconsistent advice is given” along with research suggestions of consideration of “the relationship between stress and anxiety and preterm birth and pregnancy outcome” along with “practices of specialist preterm birth services”.

Carson et al. (2015, p. 8), in a prospective cohort study of 12,100 families of which 119 babies were born less than 32 weeks of gestation and 121 babies born between 32-33 weeks of gestation, found that “both mothers and fathers of very preterm babies are approximately twice as likely to experience symptoms of postnatal depression at 9 months postpartum”. Themes drawn from studies post-discharge from the neonatal unit included “living in constant fear”, “need for support” and “guilt feelings, responsibility and compensatory parenting” (Adama et al., 2016, p. 34).

Depression, anxiety and post -traumatic stress disorder are conditions prevalent in women with threatened preterm labour and subsequently following preterm birth which may impact on transition to motherhood. Lasiuk et al. (2013) used an interpretive description method via interviews and focus groups with a sample of fourteen parents (11 women and 3 men) to understand parental traumas’ associated with preterm birth, whereas Dagklis et al. (2018, p. 922) quantitatively studied antenatal depression in women hospitalised with threatened preterm labour which the authors state to be the “first study ever conducted to screen for depressive symptoms among pregnant women at risk of preterm labour”. 24.3% of the 103 women were identified as having antenatal depression. The findings are further supported by Pisoni et al. (2016, p. 771) with results showing that “hospitalized parents at risk of preterm delivery develop less attachment to the foetus and higher levels of anxiety and depression” with a recommendation of “promotion of prenatal psychological well-being”.

We used the PCC (Population, Concept, and Context) mnemonic as a guide to construct a clear and meaningful title and review question for this scoping review. This scoping review will consider studies on countries that have structured universal health coverage (UHC) systems. Studies on countries that have not structured UHC systems will be excluded considering that the health policies in these scenarios, even when grounded on primary healthcare, do not aim to cover all the citizens, specially the poor and vulnerable social groups. Cost-effectiveness studies on specific care settings, as health programs, institutions, organizations, units or services, even when in primary healthcare contexts, will be excluded.

The concept interest of this scoping review is the primary healthcare budget policies. We will examine studies that presents, discuss and compare the funding models of the primary healthcare settings on countries that have structured UHC systems. Studies on the total expenditures with primary healthcare settings will also be included, aiming to provide a summary of these expenses.

The review will consider publications that include registered nurses (RN). It will exclude publications that include enrolled nurses, assistant in nursing and nursing students.

This review will focus on the characteristics and strategies associated with nursing mentorship within acute care settings. For this review, we will use the following definition of nursing mentorship adopted by the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) (2004): “mentorship should be described as developing and empowering one another through a voluntary, mutually beneficial long term professional relationship”
