Family physician anaesthesiologists (FPAs) are essential to providing surgical, critical and obstetrical care in rural communities of Canada. They experience pressing challenges like burnout, isolation and limited opportunities for professional growth. There is a lack of studies synthesising the available evidence on the factors associated with recruitment and retention of FPAs in Canada. We aim to systematically review and describe the nature of the scientific evidence on the facilitators and barriers to the recruitment and retention of FPAs in Canada, and to identify areas to inform potential solutions.
Our scoping review will search Pubmed, Embase (Ovid), Scopus and grey literature for empirical or theoretical publications in English or French on facilitators and barriers to the recruitment and retention of FPAs in Canada. We will conduct a narrative synthesis of the included publications.
Our results will guide future research and initiatives to enhance the availability of FPAs in Canadian rural and remote settings. The results will be shared through professional networks, presentations at conferences, and publication in a scientific journal. Ethics approval is not required.
家庭医生麻醉师对于在加拿大农村社区提供外科、重症和产科护理至关重要。他们面临着诸如职业倦怠、孤立无援以及职业发展机会有限等紧迫挑战。目前缺乏对加拿大与家庭医生麻醉师招聘和留用相关因素的现有证据进行综合分析的研究。我们旨在系统回顾并描述关于加拿大招聘和留用家庭医生麻醉师的促进因素和障碍的科学证据的性质，并确定可为潜在解决方案提供信息的领域。
我们的范围综述将在PubMed、Embase（Ovid）、Scopus和灰色文献中搜索关于加拿大招聘和留用家庭医生麻醉师的促进因素和障碍的英文或法文实证或理论出版物。我们将对纳入的出版物进行叙述性综合分析。
我们的研究结果将指导未来的研究和举措，以提高加拿大农村和偏远地区家庭医生麻醉师的可获得性。研究结果将通过专业网络、会议报告以及在科学期刊上发表的方式进行分享。无需伦理批准。
