Awareness-raising and education have been identified as strategies to counter the taboo surrounding death and dying. As the favoured venue for youth education, schools have an essential role to play in informing future decision-makers. However, school workers are not comfortable addressing the subjects of death and dying, which, unlike other social issues, have no guidelines to influence awareness of these subjects in youth.
To systematically explore the knowledge and practices on raising awareness about death and dying in schools, the viewpoints of the people involved (young people, school workers; parents), and the factors that either promote or hinder awareness practices.
The scoping review method of Levac and Colquhoun (Implement Sci 5(1):69, 2010) will be used. Using a combination of keywords and descriptors, a body of literature will be identified through 15 databases and through grey literature searches, manual searches, consultation of key collaborators, and the list of relevant literature. Publications since 2009 will be selected if they relate directly to awareness-raising about death and dying in schools. Writings will be selected and extracted by two independent people, and conflicts resolved by consensus. The extracted data will be synthesized using a thematic analysis method. Experts from a variety of disciplines (health sciences, humanities, social sciences, and education) will be consulted to enhance the interpretation of the preliminary results. Results will be presented in narrative form and will include tables and diagrams.
The results of this scoping review will contribute to the development of educational practices adapted to young people and to the identification of future avenues of research on awareness of death and dying.
提高认识和教育已被确定为消除围绕死亡和临终禁忌的策略。作为青年教育的首选场所，学校在向未来决策者传授知识方面发挥着重要作用。然而，学校工作人员并不愿意处理死亡和临终的话题，与其他社会问题不同，这些话题没有指导方针来影响年轻人对这些话题的认识。
系统探讨学校提高对死亡和临终认识的知识和实践，涉及的人员（年轻人、学校工作人员、家长）的观点，以及促进或阻碍意识实践的因素。
将采用 Levac 和 Colquhoun 的范围综述方法（Implement Sci 5(1):69, 2010）。通过结合关键词和描述符，将通过 15 个数据库以及灰色文献搜索、手动搜索、咨询主要合作者以及相关文献列表来确定文献。如果与学校提高对死亡和临终认识直接相关，将选择 2009 年以来的出版物。由两名独立人员选择和提取著作，并通过共识解决冲突。将使用主题分析方法综合提取的数据。将咨询来自多个学科（健康科学、人文科学、社会科学和教育）的专家，以增强对初步结果的解释。结果将以叙述形式呈现，并包括表格和图表。
这项范围综述的结果将有助于制定适应年轻人的教育实践，并确定未来对死亡和临终意识的研究方向。
