Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The majority of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) reside in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). NDDs are a public health concern in countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Nurturing care has been recommended as a pathway for addressing the developmental needs and unlocking the full potential of children, including those with NDDs. However, little information exists on the strategies to support children with NDDs using the Nurturing Care Framework in many countries in SSA. This review aims to synthesize information on nurturing care practices for children with NDDs in SSA. The review will also determine gaps in the provision of nurturing care for children with NDDs. Further, the review will highlight the drivers of care as well as the experiences of the caregivers.
METHODS: The review will be implemented in six steps: specification of the research question, identification of relevant studies, selection of studies to be included, extracting, mapping, and charting the data, collating, summarizing, and reporting the results, and stakeholder consultation. We propose a database search followed by a manual search for the literature synthesis. We will search the following electronic databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Open Grey and African Journals Online (AJOL). All studies published after May 2018 to May 2023 that include relevant terms will be identified and included. The research team will develop a data extraction form for use in capturing relevant information from each of the included studies. A patterning chart that will summarize and analyze the key findings of each article will be created.
CONCLUSIONS: We anticipate that the study will provide evidence on the existing nurturing care practices and unearth gaps in the provision of nurturing care for children with NDDs. Key determinants of care and the experiences of the parents/caregivers of children will also be identified. The study will provide key recommendations on interventions to improve the quality of care for children with NDDs. Through this study, awareness of the unmet nurturing care needs of these children will be increased. The evidence generated may assist policymakers and stakeholders in addressing the needs of children with NDDs.

摘要：
背景：大多数患有神经发育障碍（NDD）的儿童居住在低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）。NDD是撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）国家的公共卫生问题。已建议将养育护理作为解决儿童发展需求和释放其全部潜力的途径。包括那些有NDD的。然而,在SSA的许多国家，关于使用“培育护理框架”支持NDD儿童的策略的信息很少。这篇综述旨在综合有关SSA中NDD儿童的养育护理实践的信息。审查还将确定在为NDD儿童提供养育护理方面的差距。Further,审查将重点介绍护理的驱动因素以及护理人员的经历。
方法：审查将分为六个步骤：研究问题的说明，识别相关研究，选择要包括的研究，提取,映射,绘制数据，整理,总结,并报告结果，和利益相关者协商。我们建议进行数据库搜索，然后手动搜索文献综合。我们将搜索以下电子数据库：PubMed，ScienceDirect,Scopus,打开灰色和非洲在线期刊（AJOL）。所有在2018年5月至2023年5月之后发表的包含相关术语的研究都将被识别和纳入。研究小组将开发一个数据提取表格，用于从每个纳入的研究中获取相关信息。将创建一个模式图，该模式图将总结和分析每篇文章的关键发现。
结论：我们预计这项研究将为现有的养育护理实践提供证据，并揭示在为NDD儿童提供养育护理方面的差距。还将确定照料的关键决定因素以及儿童父母/照料者的经历。该研究将提供有关干预措施的关键建议，以提高NDD儿童的护理质量。通过这项研究,对这些儿童未满足的养育护理需求的认识将会提高。所产生的证据可能有助于决策者和利益相关者解决患有NDD的儿童的需求。
