Child Advocacy, Nursing, Right to Health.Abstract
Health advocacy actions are relevant as they seek to guarantee the right to health. The aim of this paper was to identify inherent aspects of nursing care contributions in the defense of the right to health of children and adolescents. This is an integrative literature review performed on LILACS and PubMed data bases, in journals that were published between 2010 to 2015 in Portuguese, English or Spanish languages, using the keywords: child and adolescent’s defense and nursing. Ten scientific published papers were selected and analyzed. The results point the importance of identifying situations on vulnerabilities and violations of the rights and the actions for child and adolescent’s defense. Studies indicate that nurses have possibilities and potentialities to perform health advocacy actions. Therefore, nurses should take a professional practice with responsibility, attention, and positive communication, promoting the empowerment of individuals and family as well as intersectorial actions, in order to defend and guarantee children and adolescents right to health.
