Preconception care can significantly improve maternal and infant outcomes, and thus optimise intergenerational health. The aims of this scoping review are to (1) provide an up-to-date summary of preconception health and care strategies, policies, guidelines, frameworks and recommendations across the UK and Ireland and (2) explore preconception health and care services and interventions in Northern Ireland as a case study.
This scoping review of grey literature will be conducted as per the Scoping Review Methods Manual by the Joanna Briggs Institute and the Arksey-O'Malley framework for scoping studies, and reported in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. Searches were conducted on Google Advanced Search, OpenAire, NICE, ProQuest and relevant public health websites in May 2022. Only results published, reviewed or updated between January 2011 and the time of the searches (May 2022) were considered for inclusion. In addition, searches on interventions and services provided in Northern Ireland will be supplemented by consultations and audits with key stakeholders to validate findings, identify other potentially eligible resources and ensure breadth of coverage. Data will be extracted into Excel and coded using NVivo, and ≥10% of the data will be double-coded. A narrative approach with content analysis highlighting key themes and concepts will be used to report findings.Throughout the research cycle, members of the wider public will be involved and engaged with to provide feedback.
Ethical approval is not required as analyses will be conducted on data available in the public domain. Findings will be shared with relevant stakeholders with the aim to inform future research, practice and decision-making, and disseminated through a peer-reviewed publication, conference presentations and infographics. Dissemination plans will be informed by the 'Healthy Reproductive Years' patient and public involvement and engagement advisory panel.
孕前保健可以显著改善母婴结局，从而优化代际健康。本综述的目的是：(1) 提供英国和爱尔兰孕前健康和保健策略、政策、指南、框架和建议的最新概述；(2) 以北爱尔兰为例，探讨孕前保健服务和干预措施。
本综述对灰色文献的范围将按照 Joanna Briggs 研究所的范围综述方法手册和 Arksey-O'Malley 框架进行，并按照系统评价和元分析扩展的首选报告项目进行报告。2022 年 5 月，在 Google 高级搜索、OpenAire、NICE、ProQuest 和相关公共卫生网站上进行了搜索。仅考虑纳入在 2011 年 1 月至搜索时间（2022 年 5 月）期间发表、审查或更新的结果。此外，将通过与主要利益相关者进行磋商和审计，对北爱尔兰提供的干预措施和服务进行补充，以验证调查结果、确定其他潜在合格资源并确保涵盖范围。数据将被提取到 Excel 中，并使用 NVivo 进行编码，并且至少对 10%的数据进行双编码。将使用叙述性方法和内容分析突出显示关键主题和概念，以报告调查结果。在整个研究周期中，将让更广泛的公众参与并与他们互动，以提供反馈。
由于分析将基于公共领域可用的数据进行，因此不需要伦理批准。研究结果将与相关利益相关者分享，旨在为未来的研究、实践和决策提供信息，并通过同行评议的出版物、会议演讲和信息图表进行传播。传播计划将根据“健康生殖年”患者和公众参与和参与咨询小组来制定。
