Persons with mild and moderate intellectual disability (MMID) have the right to participate in all aspects of society and be afforded equal opportunities to realise their full potential. However, it is a challenge for persons with MMID to find and maintain employment due to many different barriers. Currently, there is no contextually relevant framework in South Africa that considers the unique employment support needs and accommodation of persons with MMID, which can guide and inform the transition to employment interventions, strategies and national policy directives.
The proposed scoping review will be guided by the methodological framework developed by a working group from the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and the JBI Collaboration. The search for relevant studies will be conducted across 12 research databases. Reference mining of review studies will be conducted. A three-step search strategy will be used, including the use of information management software to manage the search results. Three independent reviewers will screen the full-text studies to finalise the list of included and excluded studies. Included studies will be assessed for methodological quality using a critical appraisal tool. Data will be charted by one independent reviewer and assessed by two independent reviewers, using a data charting instrument. The data chart will be presented using tables and charts describing the demographic features of the reviewed studies, with an explanation of the thematically analysed results.
This scoping review has received ethical approval (BM22/10/11). A summary of the findings of the study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. This scoping review will contribute to a better understanding of the key characteristics or factors underpinning the components of a multilevel transition to employment framework that will result in open labour market employment for persons with MMID.
轻度和中度智力障碍（MMID）患者有权参与社会的各个方面，并获得平等的机会来实现他们的全部潜力。然而，由于存在许多不同的障碍，MMID 患者很难找到和维持工作。目前，南非没有一个相关的框架来考虑 MMID 患者独特的就业支持需求和住宿问题，这个框架可以指导和告知向就业过渡的干预措施、战略和国家政策指令。
拟议的范围审查将由来自 Joanna Briggs 研究所（JBI）和 JBI 合作组织的一个工作组制定的方法框架指导。将在 12 个研究数据库中搜索相关研究。将进行综述研究的参考文献挖掘。将使用三步搜索策略，包括使用信息管理软件来管理搜索结果。将有三名独立评审员筛选全文研究，最终确定纳入和排除研究的清单。将使用批判性评价工具评估纳入研究的方法质量。将由一名独立评审员对数据进行图表绘制，并由两名独立评审员使用数据图表工具进行评估。将使用表格和图表呈现数据图表，描述综述研究的人口统计学特征，并解释主题分析结果。
这项范围审查已获得伦理批准（BM22/10/11）。研究结果的摘要将发表在同行评议的期刊上。这项范围审查将有助于更好地理解支持多层次过渡到就业框架的关键特征或因素，这将导致 MMID 患者在开放劳动力市场就业。
