Various measures have assessed social connection in long-term care (LTC) home residents. However, they use inconsistent terminology, conceptualizations, and operationalizations of social connection. In this systematic review protocol, we propose a study that will characterize measures that assess aspects of LTC home residents' social connection using a unified conceptual model. The objectives are to (1) describe and analyze the measures and (2) evaluate their measurement properties.
A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE ALL (Ovid), Embase Classic and Embase (Ovid), Emcare Nursing (Ovid), APA PsycInfo (Ovid), Scopus, CINAHL Complete (EBSCOhost), AgeLine (EBSCOhost), and Sociological Abstracts (ProQuest). We will include primary research papers with no language limit, published from database inception. We will include studies of a measure of any aspect of social connection in LTC home residents that report at least one measurement property. Independently, two reviewers will screen titles and abstracts, review full-text articles against eligibility criteria, and extract data from included studies. In objective 1, we will analyze identified tools using an adapted framework method. In objective 2, we will evaluate each measure's measurement properties using COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) methodology. We will engage experts and stakeholders to assist with interpreting results and translating knowledge.
Our findings will inform the social connection in long-term care home residents (SONNET) study's development of a novel, person-centered measure for social connection in LTC home settings. We will present our findings in academic and non-academic forums, including conferences, peer-reviewed journals, and other publications.

各种措施已经评估了长期护理(LTC)院居民的社会联系。然而,它们使用不一致的术语、概念和操作化来表示社会联系。在本系统评价方案中,我们提出了一项研究,该研究将使用统一的概念模型描述和分析评估长期护理院居民社会联系各个方面的措施,并评估其测量特性。
我们在 MEDLINE ALL(Ovid)、Embase Classic 和 Embase(Ovid)、Emcare Nursing(Ovid)、APA PsycInfo(Ovid)、Scopus、CINAHL Complete(EBSCOhost)、AgeLine(EBSCOhost)和 Sociological Abstracts(ProQuest)中进行了文献检索。我们将包括没有语言限制的、从数据库开始出版的原始研究论文。我们将包括评估 LTC 院居民社会联系任何方面的测量工具的研究,这些研究至少报告了一个测量特性。两名独立的审查员将筛选标题和摘要,根据入选标准审查全文文章,并从纳入的研究中提取数据。在目标 1 中,我们将使用改编的框架方法分析确定的工具。在目标 2 中,我们将使用共识基础的健康测量工具选择标准(COSMIN)方法评估每个测量工具的测量特性。我们将邀请专家和利益相关者协助解释结果并转化知识。
我们的研究结果将为 SONNET 研究开发一种新的、以人为中心的长期护理院居民社会联系测量工具提供信息。我们将在学术和非学术论坛上展示我们的研究结果,包括会议、同行评议期刊和其他出版物。
