Methods We searched Guidelines International Network(GIN),National institute for Health and Care Excellence(NICE),Scottish Intercollegiate Guide Network(SIGN),National Guideline Clearinghouse(NGC),Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario(RNAO),Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI),BMJ Best Practice,PubMed,Embase,OVID,Wanfang Database,CNKI,Yimaitong and other websites on all evidence on the positioning management of preterm infants,including guidelines,evidence summaries,best clinical practice manuals,clinical decision-making and systematic reviews,and the search time limit is from the establishment of the databases to August 31,2020. Results Totally 10 articles were involved,including 3 guidelines,5 systematic reviews,1 technical report and 1 clinical decision support. Finally,21 pieces of best evidence about positioning assessment,positioning the preterm infants,positioning equipment and positioning management of exceptional case were summarized. Conclusion This study summarizes the current best evidence on the positioning management of preterm infants and provides an evidence-based basis for standardizing the positioning management of preterm infants. It is recommended that medical staff should consider the clinical situation when applying the evidence,and selectively apply the best evidence to promote health of preterm infants.
