Caring for children in palliative care especially impacts healthcare professionals' personal and professional lives. Their emotional experience and needs are frequently forgotten. Healthcare professionals face emotional demands when caring for children with palliative needs and their parents. This scoping review aims to identify and map the scientific production about the emotional labor of healthcare professionals in pediatric palliative care. This scoping review was conducted according to the JBI recommendations and the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews. We searched 16 electronic databases in August 2023 and updated the search on 17 February 2025. Articles were screened according to eligibility criteria, and a content analysis allowed for a summary of key findings. Eleven publications were selected. Most studies were conducted in the United States of America and with nurses as the professionals involved. Many publications were qualitative studies and developed in a neonatal intensive care context. Using content analysis, five themes were identified: (1) emotional experience of healthcare professionals, (2) relational context involved, (3) managing professional and personal boundaries, (4) intrapersonal strategies of emotional labor, and (5) social and organizational strategies of emotional labor. The importance of implementing emotional labor strategies is highlighted, especially intrapersonal, social, and organizational strategies. Education, training, and reflection are needed within a workplace culture that recognizes emotional experiences and supports the emotional management of healthcare professionals. Emotional labor in pediatric palliative care should be recognized. Further research in this area is needed.
