The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidance for scoping reviews will be followed. The population (P) concept (C) context (C) mnemonic will scaffold the research questions, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and searching strategy. MEDLINE, CINAHL, LILACS, and Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal (RCAAP) will be searched. Scientific evidence reporting complex health interventions in the Portuguese healthcare context, in Portuguese and English and published from 2008 and onwards will be considered for inclusion. Literature pertaining to complex health interventions outside the Portuguese healthcare context will be excluded. The literature will be screened for eligibility by two independent reviewers first by title and abstract and subsequently by full-text. A data matrix will be used for data-extraction of the included literature. The charted data will be thematically analysed and presented graphically with a narrative description of the literature characteristics. The results from this literature review are expected to provide an overview of the knowledge concerning the characteristics and methodological guidance of Portuguese complex health interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nursrep12010015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,1]],"date-time":"2022-03-01T21:25:14Z","timestamp":1646169914000},"page":"142-151","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mapping Complex Interventions in Portuguese Healthcare Research: A Scoping Review Protocol"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5722-5612","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filipa","family":"Ventura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing, Nursing School of Coimbra, 3046-851 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9016-9528","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Odete","family":"Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing, Nursing School of Coimbra, 3046-851 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Nursing, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6874-2401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tiago","family":"Casaleiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Health, Institute of Health Sciences, Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa, 1649-023 Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9867-6321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T\u00e2nia","family":"Morgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Hospitalar e Universit\u00e1rio de Coimbra\u2014Hospital Pedi\u00e1trico, Av.
