Reproductive coercion (RC) describes behaviours that interfere with an individual's reproductive autonomy and decision-making. RC can be a form of intimate partner violence and overlaps with other forms of gender-based violence, such as sexual violence. Health settings are well placed to identify and intervene to support patients experiencing RC, however, the lack of conceptual clarity on RC means that health providers are not easily able to identify those at risk of experiencing RC. To facilitate appropriate identification and development of interventions, there is a need to understand the risk factors related to experiencing RC and associated health consequences.
To assess the current scope of evidence in relation to risk factors and health consequences of experiencing RC.
Eligible articles for inclusion in the scoping review will be original peer-reviewed literature that describe risk factors and health consequences of any type of RC. Studies on humans published in English since 2010 will be included. The proposed scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI Methodology. This protocol is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. Five electronic databases, OVID Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, PsychINFO and Embase, will be searched for relevant literature from 1 January 2010 to 23 January 2023. Two reviewers will individually screen and review articles for eligibility, and conflicts will be resolved by a third reviewer. Data will be charted and reported using a tool developed for the purpose of this review.
Findings will be disseminated in publications and presentations to relevant stakeholders. Ethical approval is not required as data from publicly available literature sources will be used. Available evidence will be mapped across the breadth of eligible studies to identify associated risk factors and health consequences of RC.
生殖胁迫(RC)描述了干扰个人生殖自主权和决策的行为。RC 可能是亲密伴侣暴力的一种形式,与其他形式的性别暴力(如性暴力)重叠。卫生机构非常适合识别和干预那些经历 RC 的患者,然而,由于 RC 概念上不够清晰,卫生服务提供者难以识别那些有经历 RC 风险的人。为了促进适当的识别和干预措施的制定,有必要了解与经历 RC 相关的风险因素以及相关的健康后果。
评估与经历 RC 相关的风险因素和健康后果的现有证据范围。
将纳入范围综述的合格文章将是描述任何类型 RC 的风险因素和健康后果的原始同行评审文献。纳入 2010 年以来以英文发表的人类研究。该拟议的范围综述将按照 JBI 方法进行。本方案按照系统评价和荟萃分析方案的首选报告项目进行报告。将从 2010 年 1 月 1 日至 2023 年 1 月 23 日,在五个电子数据库(OVID Medline、CINAHL、Scopus、PsychINFO 和 Embase)中搜索相关文献。两名评审员将分别对文章进行筛选和评估,如有冲突将由第三名评审员解决。将使用为此审查目的开发的工具对数据进行图表化和报告。
研究结果将以出版物和报告的形式传播给相关利益攸关方。由于将使用来自公开文献来源的数据,因此不需要伦理批准。将对符合条件的研究的广泛范围内的现有证据进行映射,以确定 RC 的相关风险因素和健康后果。
