Aligning Health Needs and Evidence for Transformative Change (AH-NET-C): a Joanna Briggs Institute Centre of Excellence.
JBI Evid Synth. 2020 Mar;18(3):592-598. doi: 10.11124/JBISRIR-D-19-00135.
The objective of this scoping review is to chart the literature on assistive technologies that support social interaction (excluding robots) used with older adults in long-term care (LTC).
The need for LTC in institutional settings is in high demand. Loneliness and social isolation are common in these settings. Technology holds potential to contribute to mitigation of loneliness. As there are no systematic reviews examining forms of assistive technologies to support social interaction other than robots, used within LTC settings, there is a need to categorize the current research regarding such technologies to inform practice, policy and any need for further research.
The review will consider studies based in LTC institutional settings with participants (≥65 years), institutional staff and visiting family members METHODS:: The JBI methodology for scoping reviews will be employed. This includes a three-step search strategy: i) identify keywords from CINAHL and PsycINFO, ii) conduct a second search using all identified keywords across select databases, and iii) screen the reference lists of all included articles and reports for additional studies. Titles and abstracts will be screened by two independent reviewers. Full text of selected citations will be assessed against inclusion criteria by two independent reviewers. A data extraction tool will be used, and extracted data will be presented in a narrative accompanied by diagrams or tables that reflect the objective of the review.
本范围综述旨在绘制支持长期护理（LTC）中老年人社交互动（不包括机器人）的辅助技术文献。
对机构环境中的长期护理的需求很大。在这些环境中，孤独和社交隔离很常见。技术有潜力有助于缓解孤独感。由于没有系统的综述检查除机器人以外，在 LTC 环境中用于支持社交互动的辅助技术形式，因此需要对这些技术的现有研究进行分类，以为实践、政策和任何进一步研究提供信息。
综述将考虑基于 LTC 机构环境的研究，参与者（≥65 岁）、机构工作人员和来访的家庭成员
将采用 JBI 方法进行范围综述。这包括三步搜索策略：i）从 CINAHL 和 PsycINFO 中确定关键词，ii）使用所有识别的关键词在选定的数据库中进行第二次搜索，iii）筛选所有纳入文章和报告的参考文献以获取其他研究。标题和摘要将由两名独立审查员筛选。选定引文的全文将由两名独立审查员根据纳入标准进行评估。将使用数据提取工具，提取的数据将以叙述的形式呈现，并附有反映综述目的的图表或表格。
