Literature reviews represent an important type of study for the various professions in healthcare. The consideration and inclusion of grey literature is gaining importance in all types of reviews. However, searching for grey literature is challenging for different reasons and the search is often insufficiently transparently reported in reviews. The aim of this protocol is to describe our planned methodical approach for a scoping review with a specific focus on grey literature related to the topic of consulting according to §7a of the German Social Law, Book XI (SGB XI) for people with dementia and their relatives in Germany.
We will use the following search strategies: (1) search in the German electronic databases, for example, Livivo and GeroLit (via GBV), (2) google search engines, (3) targeted websites, for example, Alzheimer's association and (4) contact experts, for example, stakeholders of private care insurance companies who provide consulting according to §7a SGB XI. Additionally, we will conduct a search in the academic electronic databases MEDLINE (via PubMed) and CINAHL (via EBSCO). For included grey literature, we will conduct a backward citation tracking via reference lists. For included scientific articles, we will conduct a backward (via reference lists) and forward (via Google scholar) citation tracking. Each strategy will be conducted by one reviewer. Screening of the identified potentially relevant records will be conducted in Covidence by two reviewers independently. Results will be charted in a table and illustrated descriptively.
There are no ethical concerns with conducting a scoping review. We will discuss our results regarding consulting according to §7a SGB XI for people with dementia and their relatives with a variety of stakeholders in Germany. We will disseminate the thematic results and the methodological reflection of our search approach in the form of articles in peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed journals.
文献综述是医疗保健领域各种专业的重要研究类型。考虑并纳入灰色文献在所有类型的综述中变得越来越重要。然而,由于各种原因,灰色文献的搜索具有挑战性,而且综述中对搜索的报告往往不够透明。本方案旨在描述我们计划的方法学方法,以对一项范围综述进行描述,重点关注与德国关于《社会法典第十一册》(SGB XI)第 7a 条规定的为痴呆症患者及其亲属提供咨询的相关主题的灰色文献,该主题涉及德国的咨询服务。
我们将使用以下搜索策略:(1)在德国电子数据库中搜索,例如 Livivo 和 GeroLit(通过 GBV),(2)谷歌搜索引擎,(3)目标网站,例如阿尔茨海默氏症协会,(4)联系专家,例如根据 SGB XI 第 7a 条提供咨询服务的私人护理保险公司的利益相关者。此外,我们将在 MEDLINE(通过 PubMed)和 CINAHL(通过 EBSCO)学术电子数据库中进行搜索。对于纳入的灰色文献,我们将通过参考文献进行回溯引文追踪。对于纳入的科学文章,我们将通过回溯(通过参考文献)和前向(通过 Google scholar)引文追踪。每个策略将由一位评审员进行。通过 Covidence 由两位评审员独立筛选出确定的潜在相关记录。结果将以表格形式呈现,并进行描述性说明。
进行范围综述不存在伦理问题。我们将与德国的各种利益相关者讨论我们关于《社会法典第十一册》第 7a 条规定的为痴呆症患者及其亲属提供咨询的结果。我们将以同行评议和非同行评议期刊中的文章形式传播我们的搜索方法的主题结果和方法学反思。
