Ground crossing borders are considered a threat to health security due to their complex and challenging environments. The objective of this scoping review is to identify the main themes crucial for implementing effective health management at ground crossing borders to maintain health security. This scoping study was conducted following the methodological framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Documents published from January 2005 to December 2023 were searched for using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and UN databases. Two reviewers screened and reviewed eligible studies in three stages: duplicate identification and elimination, title and abstract screening, and full-text assessment. Data were charted and grouped into themes, the frequency of each theme and its percentage was calculated, and then thematic analysis was conducted. Forty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. Areas of research were grouped into eight themes: "Infection Prevention and Control measures (IPC) (17%)", "Collaboration, Coordination, and Partnership (17%)", "Research and Data Sharing (15%)", "Build Border Health Capacity (13.5%)", "Planning (13.5%)", "Communication (13%)", "Legislations and Frameworks (7%)", and "Services and Assistance for At-Risk Groups (4%)". Through this scoping review, we found that the eight themes are interconnected, and are crucial for implementing effective health management at the ground crossing borders and for better emergency preparedness responses among countries.
由于陆地边境环境复杂且具有挑战性，因此被视为对卫生安全的一种威胁。本范围综述的目的是确定在陆地边境实施有效卫生管理以维护卫生安全的关键主题。本范围研究是按照阿克西和奥马利制定的方法框架以及系统评价和Meta分析扩展版的范围综述首选报告项目（PRISMA-ScR）进行的。使用PubMed、Scopus、科学网和联合国数据库搜索了2005年1月至2023年12月发表的文献。两名评审员分三个阶段筛选和评审符合条件的研究：重复识别与剔除、标题和摘要筛选以及全文评估。对数据进行制表并分组为主题，计算每个主题的频率及其百分比，然后进行主题分析。45项研究符合纳入标准。研究领域分为八个主题：“感染预防与控制措施（IPC）（17%）”、“合作、协调与伙伴关系（17%）”、“研究与数据共享（15%）”、“建设边境卫生能力（13.5%）”、“规划（13.5%）”、“沟通（13%）”、“立法与框架（7%）”以及“对高危群体的服务与援助（4%）”。通过本范围综述，我们发现这八个主题相互关联，对于在陆地边境实施有效卫生管理以及各国更好地进行应急准备响应至关重要。
