Abstract

RATIONALE

Virtual exchanges are emerging as innovative educational tools with the potential to foster collaboration between High-Income Countries (HICs) and Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). These initiatives hold the potential to enhance intercultural competencies, promote equitable partnerships, and address resource disparities. Understanding the pedagogical underpinnings, challenges, and best practices of virtual exchanges is vital for developing scalable and sustainable integration into healthcare education.

RESEARCH QUESTION

To what extent have virtual exchanges in global health been reported in the literature to date, including their frameworks, impact and sustainability?

INCLUSION CRITERIA

Studies involving a global health virtual exchange between at least one HIC and one LMIC will be included. Sources in all healthcare contexts will be included. Non-English language publications and those solely using secondary data will be excluded.

METHODS

The review will be conducted in line with the Joanna Briggs Institute guidance for scoping reviews (1). The following electronic databases will be searched: Medline Ovid, Embase, CINAHL & ERIC. A search of the grey literature will also be conducted. Three reviewers will independently screen the titles and abstracts and full texts for eligibility. Data extraction will be conducted independently by three reviewers. A narrative summary and tables will be presented. Key stakeholders will be consulted throughout the review.

DISCUSSION

This scoping review will provide a comprehensive understanding of virtual exchanges in global health, outlining frameworks, outcomes, content and best practices. The findings will inform the development of evidence-based models to design and sustain virtual exchanges between HIC and LMICs, enhancing their impact in global health education and practice.

摘要

理论依据

虚拟交流正成为创新型教育工具，有潜力促进高收入国家（HICs）与低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）之间的合作。这些举措有可能增强跨文化能力，促进公平伙伴关系，并解决资源差距问题。了解虚拟交流的教学基础、挑战和最佳实践对于将其可扩展且可持续地融入医疗保健教育至关重要。

研究问题

迄今为止，文献中报道的全球卫生领域虚拟交流在何种程度上涉及它们的框架、影响和可持续性？

纳入标准

将纳入至少涉及一个高收入国家和一个低收入和中等收入国家之间全球卫生虚拟交流的研究。所有医疗保健背景下的资料都将纳入。非英语语言出版物以及仅使用二手数据的出版物将被排除。

方法

本综述将按照乔安娜·布里格斯研究所的范围综述指南进行。将检索以下电子数据库：Medline Ovid、Embase、CINAHL和ERIC。还将进行灰色文献检索。三位评审员将独立筛选标题、摘要和全文以确定是否符合资格。数据提取将由三位评审员独立进行。将呈现叙述性总结和表格。在整个综述过程中将咨询关键利益相关者。
