• Abstract:

  Emotions are fundamental to our uniqueness, and emotional behavior is what sets us apart from others. The early acquisition of socio-emotional skills brings significant benefits, with the literature showing that children who regulate their emotions well tend to have greater social and academic competence. A safe and stimulating environment with consistent emotional support is essential for the development of a solid emotional foundation.
  Skills such as perseverance, sociability and self-esteem have the potential to impact on the most diverse dimensions of future social life, promoting better health, greater subjective well-being and reducing the likelihood of conduct problems.
  This scoping review was designed to investigate whether emotion management strategies developed by nurses promote health in pre-school children. The review question was formulated using the PCC strategy: "Do emotion management strategies developed by nurses contribute to health promotion in pre-school children?"
  The search included quantitative primary studies, mixed studies and systematic reviews, found in the Medline Complete, Nursing & Allied Health Collection, CINAHL Complete and PubMed databases. Several combined expressions were used. 
  The review followed the JBI guidelines for scoping and the criteria of the Scr PRISMA 2020 checklist. A total of three articles were selected from which data was extracted.
