They are essential to prevent and delay the progression of the illness to a more advanced stage, but information about their characteristics is not systematized. The scoping review considered all studies of first-episode psychosis intervention programs, regardless of their context (hospital or community), and explored their characteristics. The scoping review was developed according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The PCC mnemonic (population, concept, and context) addressed research questions, the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the search strategy. The scoping review sought to identify the literature that meets the predefined inclusion criteria. The research was conducted in the following databases: Web of Science Core Collection, MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete and PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and JBI Evidence Synthesis. The search for unpublished studies included OpenGrey (a European repository) and MedNar. It used sources in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. It included quantitative, qualitative, and multi-method\/mixed methods studies. It also considered gray or unpublished literature. After removing duplicates, two independent reviewers extracted the relevant information after selecting the articles. If there were disagreements, a third reviewer was used. The researchers have developed a tool based on the JBI model that will allow them to extract the relevant information for the review. The results are presented schematically in narratives and tables. This scoping review maps first-episode psychosis intervention programs by identifying their characteristics, participants, and specific implementation contexts and allows researchers to create multicomponent programs tailored to different contexts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nursrep13010026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,16]],"date-time":"2023-02-16T02:52:56Z","timestamp":1676515976000},"page":"273-283","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Intervention Programs for First-Episode Psychosis: A Scoping Review Protocol"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4509-5851","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Gouveia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Center of Tondela-Viseu, 3504-509 Viseu, Portugal"},{"name":"Abel Salazar Biomedical Sciences Institute, University of Porto, 4050-313 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"CINTESIS@RISE, Nursing School of Porto (ESEP), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6379-7390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tiago","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CINTESIS@RISE, Nursing School of Porto (ESEP), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Hospital Center of Vila Nova de Gaia\/Espinho, 4434-502 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing School of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9867-6321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T\u00e2nia","family":"Morgado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CINTESIS@RISE, Nursing School of Porto (ESEP), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Pediatric Hospital of the Centro Hospitalar e Universit\u00e1rio de Coimbra, 3000-602 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Health Sciences Research Unit\u2014Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra, 3000-232 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"School of Health Sciences, Polytechnic of Leiria, Campus 2, Morro do Lena, Alto do Vieiro, Apartado 4137, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9245-256X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Sampaio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CINTESIS@RISE, Nursing School of Porto (ESEP), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing School of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Amorim","family":"Rosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Research Unit\u2014Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra, 3000-232 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing School of Coimbra, 3000-232 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5620-3478","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Sequeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CINTESIS@RISE, Nursing School of Porto (ESEP), 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Nursing School of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Research Unit of the Nursing School of Porto, 4200-072 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"CD013288","article-title":"Specialised early intervention teams for first episode psychosis","volume":"2019","author":"Puntis","year":"2019","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst.
