Evidence shows that parents of children with intellectual disabilities experience high levels of stress, emotional challenges and higher levels of depression. Despite these challenges, support for parents has tended to be peripheral in healthcare services of children. There is a lack of research attention given to support programmes for parents of children with intellectual disabilities despite the importance of parenting for the optimal development of children with intellectual disabilities.
This review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methods manual. The search for relevant studies will be in Medline (EbscoHost), PsychARTICLES, PubMed, CINHAL, Academic Search Complete and SAePublications. Reference mining of full review studies will be conducted. A three-step search strategy will be used, including the use of information management software to manage the search results and to remove duplications. An independent reviewer will extract data using a data extraction tool. Furthermore, another reviewer will screen the included articles in conjunction with the results of the scoping review. The data extracted will be presented in a tabular format with a narrative summary related to the key findings.
This scoping review has received ethical approval (BM20/4/26). A summary of the findings of the study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. This scoping review will contribute to a better understanding of the support programmes available to parents of children with intellectual disabilities. This could be the first step in highlighting the gaps and future directions for the development and implementation of support programmes for parents of children with intellectual disabilities.

有证据表明，智障儿童的父母会经历高水平的压力、情绪挑战和更高水平的抑郁。尽管面临这些挑战，但在儿童保健服务中，对父母的支持往往处于次要地位。尽管父母对智障儿童的最佳发展至关重要，但针对智障儿童父母的支持计划却缺乏研究关注。
本综述将遵循乔安娜·布里格斯研究所的范围综述方法手册。将在 Medline（EbscoHost）、PsychARTICLES、PubMed、CINHAL、Academic Search Complete 和 SAePublications 中搜索相关研究。将对综述研究进行参考文献挖掘。将使用三步搜索策略，包括使用信息管理软件来管理搜索结果和去除重复项。一位独立的综述员将使用数据提取工具提取数据。此外，另一位综述员将结合范围综述的结果筛选纳入的文章。提取的数据将以表格形式呈现，并附有与关键发现相关的叙述性摘要。
这项范围综述已获得伦理批准（BM20/4/26）。研究结果的摘要将发表在同行评议的期刊上。这项范围综述将有助于更好地了解智障儿童父母可获得的支持计划。这可能是突出智障儿童父母支持计划的差距和未来发展方向的第一步。
