Black people are disproportionately impacted by homicide. However, despite this over-representation, research is limited relevant to how black individuals, families and communities cope with the chronic traumatic devastation of homicide. This scoping review will provide an amalgamation of the current literature regarding the coping strategies of black survivors of homicide victims to inform future health and social work practice.
In this scoping review, Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage framework will be used to succinctly gather and synthesise previous literature and identify gaps in research relevant to black survivors of homicide victims. This method will allow for a focused process of chosen pertinent databases. The seven databases include OVID (MEDLINE and PsycINFO), ProQuest (Sociological Abstracts, Social Services Abstracts, International Bibliography of Social Sciences), EBSCO (Africa Wide, The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature). The seven databases were chosen for their relevance to the topic of coping with homicide for black individuals, families and communities. All members of the research team will screen the abstracts and full texts of the literature based on the inclusion criteria. The findings will be charted and synthesised using a qualitative thematic analysis.
The articles chosen for this review will be gathered from peer-reviewed journals and scholarly search engines. Due to this research project's nature, ethics approval is not warranted. The results of this scoping review will inform culturally responsive approaches to research, policy and practice for first responders (eg, law enforcement, emergency medical technicians) and providers (eg, mental health clinicians, physicians and faith-based communities) who frequently render services to black survivors of homicide victims. The results will be shared through journal article publications, academic and community conferences, as well as professional training opportunities for practitioners who support Black individuals, families and communities.
黑人受到凶杀的影响不成比例。然而，尽管这种代表性过高，但关于黑人个人、家庭和社区如何应对凶杀带来的慢性创伤性破坏的研究仍然有限。本范围综述将综合当前有关黑人凶杀幸存者应对策略的文献，为未来的健康和社会工作实践提供信息。
在本次范围综述中，将使用 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的五阶段框架简洁地收集和综合以前的文献，并确定与黑人凶杀幸存者相关的研究空白。这种方法将允许对选定的相关数据库进行重点处理。这七个数据库包括 OVID（MEDLINE 和 PsycINFO）、ProQuest（社会学摘要、社会服务摘要、国际社会科学文献索引）、EBSCO（非洲广泛、护理与联合健康文献累积索引）。这七个数据库被选中是因为它们与黑人个人、家庭和社区应对凶杀的主题有关。研究团队的所有成员都将根据纳入标准筛选文献的摘要和全文。研究结果将使用定性主题分析进行图表和综合。
本次综述选择的文章将来自同行评议的期刊和学术搜索引擎。由于本研究项目的性质，不需要伦理批准。本次范围综述的结果将为急救人员（如执法人员、紧急医疗技术人员）和提供者（如心理健康临床医生、医生和信仰社区）提供对文化敏感的研究、政策和实践方法，这些人员经常为黑人凶杀幸存者提供服务。结果将通过期刊文章发表、学术和社区会议以及为支持黑人个人、家庭和社区的从业者提供的专业培训机会进行分享。
