The objective of this scoping review is to gain insights into the different online peer support opportunities available for people with dementia.
People with dementia use a variety of online platforms for peer support, such as social networking sites or videoconferencing platforms. Online peer support can offer a variety of benefits, such as overcoming geographical barriers and the opportunity to choose a platform and mode of communication that suits a person's needs and preferences. However, there is currently no synthesis of the different online peer support opportunities available to people with dementia.
Participants in this review will include people living with a self-reported diagnosis of any form of dementia. The concept is peer support through online platforms, while the context is online peer support that is accessible in English.
The review will be conducted according to the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. A 3-step strategy will be used to search 4 data sources: scholarly and gray literature databases, Google search engine, social media and websites of dementia organizations, and consultations with people with dementia and professionals. The study selection and data extraction will be conducted by 2 reviewers independently, and a third reviewer will be consulted if needed. For the data extraction, a draft data extraction instrument will be used, following the recommendations of JBI. Data will be extracted on platform, online peer support, and study characteristics. The findings will be presented in tables and a narrative summary.

本综述的目的是深入了解可供痴呆症患者使用的不同在线同伴支持机会。
痴呆症患者使用各种在线平台获得同伴支持，如社交网站或视频会议平台。在线同伴支持可以带来多种益处，如克服地理障碍，以及有机会选择适合个人需求和偏好的平台及沟通方式。然而，目前尚无对痴呆症患者可获得的不同在线同伴支持机会的综合研究。
本综述的参与者将包括自我报告诊断患有任何形式痴呆症的人。概念是通过在线平台提供同伴支持，背景是可通过英语获得的在线同伴支持。
本综述将根据JBI循证综述方法进行。将采用三步策略搜索4个数据源：学术和灰色文献数据库、谷歌搜索引擎、痴呆症组织的社交媒体和网站，以及与痴呆症患者和专业人员的咨询。研究选择和数据提取将由两名评审员独立进行，如有需要将咨询第三名评审员。对于数据提取，将根据JBI的建议使用数据提取工具草案。将提取有关平台、在线同伴支持和研究特征的数据。研究结果将以表格和叙述性总结的形式呈现。
