Many women in frontline healthcare positions face work demands that are incompatible with their needs and aspirations, resulting in poorer work satisfaction and engagement, and greater probability of leaving their jobs. Proactive career management is associated with elevated well-being and career success but may not be accessible to female health professionals who encounter social, cultural and structural barriers. The complex and diverse nature of proactive career management and absence of a comprehensive review on the topic necessitates a synthesis of extant literature. This study aims to identify (i) proactive career management behaviours and activities among female health professionals and (ii) outcomes of proactive career management initiatives. This study will contribute to a larger study on encouraging proactive career management behaviours among Singapore female health professionals.
Scoping review is used as our method of evidence synthesis to provide a comprehensive overview of all available constructs and markers of interest. This study started in January 2022. Original research, reviews, short reports, letters, methodologies and case studies relevant to our objectives will be examined with guidance from Arksey and O'Malley's framework. The literature contained in scientific databases and grey literature sources will be thoroughly searched. Two independent reviewers will screen citations for eligibility and extract data from the included articles. Extracted data will be narratively synthesised by two independent reviewers using Braun and Clarke's six steps of thematic analysis. We will observe the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews standards in reporting the results. An advisory panel will provide insights on the applicability of the results to negate confirmation bias.

许多处于医疗前线岗位的女性面临着与其需求和愿望不兼容的工作要求,导致工作满意度和投入度降低,离职可能性增加。积极的职业管理与更高的幸福感和职业成功相关,但可能无法为那些面临社会、文化和结构性障碍的女性健康专业人员所获得。积极的职业管理的复杂性和多样性以及缺乏对该主题的全面审查,需要对现有文献进行综合。本研究旨在确定:(i) 女性健康专业人员的积极职业管理行为和活动;(ii) 积极职业管理举措的结果。本研究将为鼓励新加坡女性健康专业人员采取积极职业管理行为的更大研究做出贡献。
本研究采用范围综述作为证据综合的方法,以提供对所有现有结构和感兴趣标志物的全面概述。这项研究于 2022 年 1 月开始。将根据 Arksey 和 O'Malley 的框架,检查与我们的目标相关的原始研究、综述、简短报告、信件、方法学和案例研究。将彻底搜索科学数据库和灰色文献来源中的文献。两名独立的审查员将根据资格筛选引文,并从纳入的文章中提取数据。两名独立的审查员将使用 Braun 和 Clarke 的主题分析六步对提取的数据进行叙述性综合。我们将按照《系统评价和荟萃分析扩展的首选报告项目》中对范围综述标准的要求报告结果。咨询小组将提供关于结果适用性的意见,以消除确认偏倚。
