South-South learning exchange (SSLE) is an interactive learning process where stakeholder teams exchange knowledge and experience to help one, or both to work towards change, by identifying, adopting and/or strengthening implementation of a best practice. SSLE has been conducted between countries to share knowledge on best practices and policies in family planning. To the best of our knowledge, no scoping review has been conducted to synthesise evidence on SSLE in family planning. In this paper, we outline the protocol to conduct scoping review on SSLE in family planning.
Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review framework with adaptions from Levac will be used to guide this scoping review. We will search electronic databases (Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Hinari, ProQuest DB, PUBMED, Web of Science and WorldCat), grey literature sources and reference lists of included studies. We will focus on literature published till August 2022. The abstract and title screening, full-text screening and data charting will be conducted by two independent reviewers. The findings will be summarised into a narrative based on thematic analysis. Stakeholder interviews will be conducted to understand their perception and experiences in applying SSLE in family planning.
The ethics review committee at WHO, Geneva, has exempted this study from ethical approval (ERC.0003752). The findings from the study will provide useful insights into effective approaches, barriers, facilitators to conduct SSLE in family planning. This knowledge will be of significant public health relevance and will help in designing future learning exchanges between countries in the south to accelerate access to quality family planning services. The findings will be disseminated via peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, newsletters and workshops.
南南学习交流（SSLE）是一个互动学习过程，利益相关者团队通过交流知识和经验来帮助一方或双方朝着变革努力，方法是确定、采用和/或加强实施最佳实践。已经在国家之间进行了南南学习交流，以分享计划生育方面的最佳实践和政策知识。据我们所知，尚未对计划生育中的南南学习交流进行范围综述以综合证据。在本文中，我们概述了进行计划生育中 SSLE 范围综述的方案。
阿特赛和奥马利的范围综述框架，结合莱维克的改编，将用于指导本次范围综述。我们将搜索电子数据库（Medline、Embase、CINAHL、Hinari、ProQuest DB、PUBMED、Web of Science 和 WorldCat）、灰色文献来源和纳入研究的参考文献列表。我们将重点关注截至 2022 年 8 月发表的文献。摘要和标题筛选、全文筛选和数据图表将由两名独立评审员进行。研究结果将根据主题分析进行总结为叙述性报告。将进行利益相关者访谈，以了解他们在计划生育中应用 SSLE 的看法和经验。
日内瓦世卫组织伦理审查委员会已豁免本研究的伦理批准（ERC.0003752）。该研究的结果将提供有关在计划生育中进行 SSLE 的有效方法、障碍和促进因素的有用见解。这些知识将具有重要的公共卫生相关性，并将有助于设计未来南方国家之间的学习交流，以加速获得优质计划生育服务。研究结果将通过同行评议期刊、会议录、通讯和研讨会进行传播。
