Each day, more than 10 Canadians die by suicide. Each suicide leaves entire communities to manage the traumatic aftermath of this loss. Individuals bereaved by suicide loss are at a higher risk of experiencing negative mental health outcomes. Current research suggests that engagement in meaningful activities may be an avenue to protecting mental health. It is important to understand if this is also the case for those experiencing bereavement post suicide loss. To date, there has not been a synthesis of the literature examining suicide loss and the nature and extent of engagement in meaningful activities post loss.
This paper describes a scoping review protocol that will be completed using stages identified by Arksey and O'Malley and updated by Levac and colleagues. Joanna Briggs Institute framework will also guide this review. Four electronic databases will be searched for suicide bereavement/loss concepts. Two reviewers will apply inclusion and exclusion criteria to identify articles discussing engagement in meaningful activities of everyday living post loss. Data will be descriptively summarized and analyzed using inductive content analysis. Results will be reported following PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews.
A descriptive summary and conceptual map describing the current state of the peer-reviewed literature will be constructed.
Experiencing a suicide loss increases the risk of negative mental health outcomes. A synthesis of literature is required to map the current available evidence related to suicide bereavement and engagement in meaningful activities, with potential implications for improving supports and services for those bereaved. This protocol is register with Open Science Framework Registries (10.17605/OSF.IO/M2NES).
每天，超过 10 名加拿大人自杀身亡。每一次自杀都会让整个社区都要应对这种损失带来的创伤。自杀丧失亲人的个体面临更高的负面心理健康后果风险。目前的研究表明，参与有意义的活动可能是保护心理健康的一种途径。了解这是否也适用于那些经历自杀丧失亲人的个体也很重要。迄今为止，还没有对文献进行综合研究，以检查自杀丧失亲人与丧失亲人后参与有意义活动的性质和程度。
1）描述与丧失亲人后参与有意义活动相关的同行评审自杀丧失亲人文献的性质和程度；2）确定可能影响丧失亲人后参与有意义活动的促进因素和障碍。
本文描述了一个范围综述方案，该方案将使用 Arksey 和 O'Malley 确定的阶段以及 Levac 等人更新的阶段来完成。 Joanna Briggs Institute 框架也将指导本综述。将在四个电子数据库中搜索自杀丧失亲人/丧失的概念。两名评审员将应用纳入和排除标准来识别讨论丧失亲人后参与日常生活中有意义活动的文章。数据将使用归纳内容分析进行描述性总结和分析。结果将按照 PRISMA 扩展范围综述报告。
将构建一个描述性摘要和概念图，描述同行评审文献的现状。
经历自杀丧失亲人会增加负面心理健康后果的风险。需要对文献进行综合分析，以绘制与自杀丧失亲人相关的现有证据与参与有意义的活动，这可能对改善那些丧失亲人的人的支持和服务具有潜在意义。本方案已在 Open Science Framework Registries（10.17605/OSF.IO/M2NES）上注册。
