This study aimed to provide an overview of the development, content, feasibility, and effectiveness of existing orientation and mobility training programmes in the use of the identification cane.
A systematic bibliographic database search in PubMed, PsychInfo, ERIC, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library was performed, in combination with the expert consultation (n = 42; orientation and mobility experts), and hand-searching of reference lists.
Selection criteria included a description of the development, the content, the feasibility, or the effectiveness of orientation and mobility training in the use of the identification cane. Two reviewers independently agreed on eligibility and methodological quality. A narrative/qualitative data analysis method was applied to extract data from obtained documents.
The sensitive database search and hand-searching of reference lists revealed 248 potentially relevant abstracts. None met the eligibility criteria. Expert consultation resulted in the inclusion of six documents in which the information presented on the orientation and mobility training in the use of the identification cane was incomplete and of low methodological quality.
Our review of the literature showed a lack of well-described protocols and studies on orientation and mobility training in identification cane use.
本研究旨在概述现有的使用识别手杖定向和移动训练计划的发展、内容、可行性和有效性。
在 PubMed、PsychInfo、ERIC、CINAHL 和 Cochrane Library 中进行了系统的文献数据库检索，结合专家咨询（n=42；定向和移动专家），并对手头的参考文献进行了检索。
选择标准包括描述使用识别手杖的定向和移动训练的发展、内容、可行性或效果。两名审查员独立确定了资格和方法质量。采用叙述/定性数据分析方法从获得的文件中提取数据。
敏感数据库搜索和参考文献的手动搜索显示了 248 篇潜在相关的摘要。没有一篇符合入选标准。专家咨询导致纳入了六份文件，其中关于识别手杖使用的定向和移动训练的信息不完整，方法质量较低。
我们对文献的回顾表明，在识别手杖使用的定向和移动训练方面缺乏描述良好的方案和研究。
