There is a paucity of literature on the comprehensive roles of security guards in healthcare, regardless of day-to-day observations of security guards playing an extensive role in this field. Thus, this review will systematically explore the roles of security guards in healthcare contexts to create a centred body of evidence.
The study will systematically review existing quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed literature on security guards in institutional healthcare so as to understand their roles. We will conduct the systematic review on 10 electronic databases: BioMed Central, SocIndex, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, JSTOR, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed. Data extraction will be in the form of a word document. Mendeley software will be used to keep track of references, while the systematic review software, Rayyan, will be used for the screening, inclusion and exclusion of articles. If necessary, reviewer number 3 will conduct a third review should any disputes arise between the two initial reviewers. Quality assessment of the articles will be measured with the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool for articles in terms of the research aims, methodology used, sample, data analysis, presentation of findings, values of the research, as well as trustworthiness if it is a qualitative study or reflexiveness if it is a quantitative study. Studies dating back 32 years will be incorporated for a comprehensive review.
This systematic review will use publicly available peer-reviewed data from electronic databases and will, therefore, not require an ethical review, but rather, an ethics waiver. The systematic review protocol will be submitted for ethics waiver clearance from the Stellenbosch University Health Research Ethics Committee. The findings from this review will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conferences.

尽管日常观察到保安在这一领域发挥着广泛的作用，但关于保安在医疗保健中的综合角色的文献却很少。因此，本综述将系统地探讨保安在医疗保健环境中的角色，以形成一个集中的证据基础。
本研究将系统地回顾现有的关于机构医疗保健中保安人员的定量和定性同行评议文献，以了解他们的角色。我们将在 10 个电子数据库中进行系统综述：BioMed Central、SocIndex、ScienceDirect、Google Scholar、JSTOR、PsycARTICLES、PsycINFO、Scopus、Web of Science 和 PubMed。数据提取将采用 word 文档的形式。Mendeley 软件将用于跟踪参考文献，而系统综述软件 Rayyan 将用于文章的筛选、纳入和排除。如果有任何争议，审稿人 3 将进行第三次审查。文章的质量评估将使用批判性评估技能计划工具，从研究目的、使用的方法、样本、数据分析、结果呈现、研究价值以及定性研究的可信度或定量研究的反思性等方面进行评估。本综述将纳入 32 年来的研究。
本系统综述将使用来自电子数据库的公开可用的同行评议数据，因此不需要伦理审查，而只需伦理豁免。系统综述方案将提交斯泰伦博斯大学健康研究伦理委员会进行伦理豁免审查。本综述的结果将通过同行评议出版物和会议进行传播。
