Globally, miniscule improvements have been implemented regarding equality, inclusion, access, and protection of people with diverse gender identities whilst accessing health care facilities of which transgender youth form part. Literature has highlighted that the care transgender youth receive at health care facilities can result in positive or negative outcomes. School-going transgender youth constitute a unique group whose experiences at health care facilities warrant ongoing research. Hence, the objective of this scoping review is to systematically map evidence of school-going transgender youths' experiences at health care facilities regarding service delivery, support, and policies and to identify literature gaps that could inform future research.
We will conduct a scoping review, using peer-reviewed journal articles that present literature on school-going transgender youths' experiences at health care facilities. Searches for relevant articles will be conducted on the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Campbell collaboration, Scopus, Embase, and MEDLINE. Additional searches will be conducted on institutional websites or web-based search portals. Two reviewers will independently extract data from all relevant search engines incorporating the study objective, research questions, and eligibility criteria. The inclusion criteria include published full-text qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method studies that address the topic with no language and publication year limitations to reflect a comprehensive range of literature that includes the implementation of the SDGs. All literature that does not meet the inclusion criteria will be excluded. The quality of included studies will be appraised using the mixed methods appraisal tool (MMAT) - version 2018.
We anticipate mapping the experiences of school-going transgender youth at health care facilities. Once summarized, the data could be useful to clinical educators, health workers, policy makers, and guide future research to ensure that the human and patients' rights of transgender youth, are globally acknowledged, protected, and respected within health care facilities.
在全球范围内，在平等、包容、获得机会和保护具有不同性别认同的人方面，仅取得了微小的进展，而这些人是获得医疗保健设施服务的一部分，其中包括跨性别青年。文献强调，跨性别青年在医疗保健设施中接受的护理可能会产生积极或消极的结果。在校的跨性别青年是一个独特的群体，他们在医疗保健设施中的经历需要持续研究。因此，本范围综述的目的是系统地绘制关于服务提供、支持以及政策方面的在校跨性别青年在医疗保健设施中的经历的证据，并确定可能为未来研究提供信息的文献空白。
我们将进行范围综述，使用同行评议的期刊文章，这些文章介绍了关于在校跨性别青年在医疗保健设施中的经历的文献。将在以下数据库中搜索相关文章：PubMed、Cochrane 图书馆、坎贝尔合作、Scopus、Embase 和 MEDLINE。还将在机构网站或基于网络的搜索门户上进行额外的搜索。两名评审员将独立地从所有相关搜索引擎中提取数据，包括研究目的、研究问题和纳入标准。纳入标准包括发表的全文定性、定量和混合方法研究，这些研究主题与不限制语言和出版年份的包容性目标一致，以反映包括实施可持续发展目标在内的广泛文献。所有不符合纳入标准的文献将被排除。使用混合方法评估工具（MMAT）-2018 版评估纳入研究的质量。
我们预计将绘制在校跨性别青年在医疗保健设施中的经历。一旦总结，这些数据对于临床教育者、卫生工作者、政策制定者可能有用，并指导未来的研究，以确保全球承认、保护和尊重跨性别青年的人权和患者权利，在医疗保健设施中。
