The presence of medical librarians in the patient education team can greatly facilitate the patient education process. Expanding the role of medical librarians in patient education and using them in this process requires understanding the roles and services they can provide. This scoping review aims to identify different traditional and modern services and roles that medical librarians provide specifically in the patient education process.
A scoping review protocol is reported, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols statement and guided by The Joanna Briggs Institute. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and LISTA (Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts) will be searched. A grey literature search and hand-searching of citations and reference lists of the included studies will also be undertaken. Studies with their full text are not available and are in languages other than English will be excluded. Two independent reviewers will screen titles/abstracts and full text of retrieved articles and eligibility disagreements within a pair will resolve by discussion or a third reviewer. Data charting will be done in accordance with the data extraction tool made in Excel. Findings will be presented as a narrative summary supported by tables and diagrams.
Identifying the different services that medical librarians provide in the patient education process leads medical librarians to inform about the different services they can provide in the patient education process and to expand their roles as well as policymakers and hospital managers to be aware of these roles and use medical librarians in the patient education process appropriately. It also helps the general public and patients to learn about the services that medical librarians can provide them in this process.
患者教育团队中有医学图书馆员能够极大地促进患者教育过程。扩大医学图书馆员在患者教育中的作用并在此过程中加以利用，需要了解他们能够提供的角色和服务。本范围综述旨在确定医学图书馆员在患者教育过程中具体提供的不同传统和现代服务及角色。
报告了一项范围综述方案，该方案依据系统评价与Meta分析方案的首选报告项目声明，并在乔安娜·布里格斯研究所的指导下制定。将检索PubMed、Scopus、科学网和LISTA（图书馆、信息科学与技术文摘）。还将进行灰色文献检索以及对纳入研究的参考文献和引用列表进行手工检索。排除全文不可获取以及语言非英语的研究。两名独立评审员将筛选检索到的文章的标题/摘要和全文，对于两人之间的资格分歧将通过讨论或第三位评审员解决。数据图表制作将根据用Excel制作的数据提取工具进行。研究结果将以表格和图表支持的叙述性总结形式呈现。
确定医学图书馆员在患者教育过程中提供的不同服务，能够使医学图书馆员了解他们在患者教育过程中可以提供的不同服务，从而扩大其作用，同时也能让政策制定者和医院管理人员了解这些作用，并在患者教育过程中恰当地利用医学图书馆员。这也有助于公众和患者了解医学图书馆员在此过程中能够为他们提供的服务。
