Every year 480 people are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour in Ireland. Brain tumours can vary in type, location, treatment, and progression but neurological impairments are a consistent feature. Such neurological disability creates significant symptom burden that can seriously impact peoples' functional ability and quality of life. Rehabilitation can improve functional prognosis (motor and cognitive) and quality of life in people with brain tumours. However, research and experience consistently show that people with brain tumours can have difficulties accessing rehabilitation services. Our scoping review will investigate the research evidence concerning the rehabilitation needs of people with brain tumours.
The scoping review will be conducted in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) reporting guidelines. Relevant databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL+, PsychINFO, PEDro) and grey literature sources will be searched. Publications relating to international rehabilitation practices will be included. A data extraction table will be created to facilitate narrative synthesis of the results.
This scoping review will examine the scope of the literature on the rehabilitation needs of people with brain tumours. The findings will inform a research project entitled "Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, but now what? Exploring the rehabilitation needs of people with brain tumours in Ireland". An article reporting the results of the scoping review will be submitted to a scientific journal and presented at relevant national and international conferences.
在爱尔兰，每年有480人被诊断出患有原发性脑肿瘤。脑肿瘤在类型、位置、治疗方法和病情进展方面存在差异，但神经功能障碍是其始终存在的特征。这种神经功能残疾会带来严重的症状负担，严重影响人们的功能能力和生活质量。康复治疗可以改善脑肿瘤患者的功能预后（运动和认知方面）以及生活质量。然而，研究和经验一致表明，脑肿瘤患者在获得康复服务方面可能会遇到困难。我们的范围综述将调查有关脑肿瘤患者康复需求的研究证据。
范围综述将按照系统评价和Meta分析扩展的范围综述（PRISMA-ScR）报告指南进行。将检索相关数据库（PubMed、Embase、CINAHL+、PsychINFO、PEDro）和灰色文献来源。将纳入与国际康复实践相关的出版物。将创建一个数据提取表，以促进对结果的叙述性综合分析。
本范围综述将研究有关脑肿瘤患者康复需求的文献范围。研究结果将为一个名为“手术、放疗、化疗，但接下来呢？探索爱尔兰脑肿瘤患者的康复需求”的研究项目提供信息。一篇报告范围综述结果的文章将提交给科学期刊，并在相关的国内和国际会议上发表。
