Objective: To identify the main comfort needs of adolescent puerperae. Methodology: A Scoping Review was conducted, following the guidelines and steps of the Joanna Briggs Institute: (1) identification of the review's question; (2) search for studies; (3) study selection; (4) data extraction; (5) interpretation, summarization, and dissemination of results. The PRISMA-ScR was used to report the results. Results: The initial search yielded 219 studies in the databases, of which 107 were excluded due to duplication. After applying the exclusion and inclusion criteria and further reading of titles and abstracts, an additional 96 studies were excluded, with 16 left for full-text reading. Of these, one study did not meet the eligibility criteria as it was a clinical trial protocol registration. Four studies were excluded as the sample consisted only of women over 18 years old. Thus, 11 articles were selected for full-text reading and further analysis. Among these, seven studies had a sample that included both adolescent and adult women. The other four studies focused on the adolescent population bud did not fully address the research question. Therefore, after exhaustive readings of the manuscripts, the researchers observed that there were no investigative data that addressed the guiding question of the research and decided to exclude all 16 studies, resulting in an empty review. Conclusion: Studies that address the role of nurses in identifying comfort needs during the puerperium of adolescents are required, given the lack of published research on the subject.
