Abstract Introduction Nurses play a role in preventing domestic accidents involving children. We conducted a scoping review on the nursing interventions to prevent domestic accidents in families with children in the first year of life. Content Scoping review based on the principles recommended by Joanna Briggs Institute, using CINAHL Complete e MEDLINE Complete data bases, through EBSCOhost platform (2018–2024), in natural and indexed language. Complemented research through Google Scholar. Summary and Outlook Four articles met the study’s inclusion criteria. The articles analysed highlighted the importance of nurses as members of the healthcare team in collaboration with families in preventing domestic accidents. Nursing interventions include providing information about the types of domestic accidents, the risk factors and the child’s motor and cognitive development, as well as measures to prevent domestic accidents. The teaching methodology should combine an educational approach with an active and demonstrative methodology. Nurses have a leading role in preventing domestic accidents by empowering families to create a safe home environment. Through systematic interventions it’s possible to strengthen both parental competence and previously transmitted interventions.
