Health education plays a key role in improving parental health literacy, treatment adherence, and recurrence prevention. This study aimed to systematically synthesize the best available evidence on health education for the prevention and management of pediatric UTIs to serve as a reference for clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following the \u201c6S\u201d evidence resource model, an evidence search was conducted in a top-down manner across the following sources: BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Guidelines International Network (GIN), National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC), Registered Nurses\u2019 Association of Ontario (RNAO), Canadian Medical Association (CMA), New Zealand Ministry of Health Guidance Library, MedLive, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), European Association of Urology (EAU), Cochrane Library, EMbase, Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, VIP, and SinoMed.
