The objective of this scoping review is to identify and map measurement tools for evaluating disease-specific quality of life and symptoms in adults with atrial fibrillation. The review will also identify key concepts that differentiate quality of life from symptom experience.
Quality of life is a broad concept influenced by physical health, psychological state, degree of independence, and social/functional status. Symptoms of a chronic disease may influence quality of life through their effect on an individual's perception of physical health. Symptom experience is distinct from quality of life; however, the distinction is ill-defined, resulting in conceptual overlap in the measurement tools used to assess these concepts in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Included manuscripts will describe a scale, index, questionnaire, checklist, or other form of measurement tool designed to assess quality of life or symptom experience in adults with atrial fibrillation or supraventricular arrhythmia. Peer-reviewed research manuscripts and systematic reviews, gray literature, and conceptual/theoretical papers will be included.
The review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Embase will be searched, as well as Google Scholar, MedNar, and OpenGrey. Articles will be considered if they are published in English, Danish, Swedish, or Norwegian, with no date limitation. The title and abstract of each article will be independently screened by two authors, followed by full-text review of remaining articles, according to the inclusion criteria. Data will be independently extracted by two authors using a data extraction tool.
本范围综述的目的是确定和绘制用于评估成人心房颤动患者特定疾病的生活质量和症状的测量工具，并确定区分生活质量和症状体验的关键概念。
生活质量是一个受身体健康、心理状态、独立程度和社会/功能状态影响的广泛概念。慢性病的症状可能会通过对个体身体健康感知的影响而影响生活质量。症状体验与生活质量不同；然而，这种区别定义不明确，导致用于评估心房颤动患者这些概念的测量工具存在概念上的重叠。
纳入的文献将描述一种用于评估成人心房颤动或室上性心律失常患者生活质量或症状体验的量表、指数、问卷、清单或其他形式的测量工具。将纳入同行评审的研究文献和系统评价、灰色文献以及概念/理论论文。
综述将遵循 JBI 对范围综述的方法。将对 MEDLINE、CINAHL、PsycINFO、Cochrane 系统评价数据库和 Embase 进行检索，并检索 Google Scholar、MedNar 和 OpenGrey。如果文章以英文、丹麦文、瑞典文或挪威文发表，且没有日期限制，则将其视为符合纳入标准。两名作者将独立筛选每篇文章的标题和摘要，然后根据纳入标准对其余文章进行全文审查。两名作者将使用数据提取工具独立提取数据。
