Objective: This scoping review aims to identify, summarize, and describe the content and format of structured evidence summaries designed to inform clinical or policy decisions.

Introduction: There is a need to develop a more efficient strategy to ensure that the results of the Living Evidence approach reach end users in a timely manner, thereby enhancing their role in the decision-making process.

Eligibility criteria: Any article assessing the development or validation process of generating a structured evidence summary aimed at informing health decision-makers will be considered for inclusion in the review. Additionally, we will include summaries that have been published as part of the updated reports of living systematic reviews of any health-related question.

Methods: This scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI guidance for scoping reviews and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). The initial search will be conducted in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane, as well as websites and databases specializing in health decision-making and health technology assessment, including Health Systems Evidence, Epistemonikos, NICE Evidence Search, and websites of major European health technology assessment agencies, such as the European Network for Health Technology Assessment (EUnetHTA) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Finally, broader searches will be conducted in Google Scholar and the JBI Evidence-Based Practice Database to identify hard-to-find articles. Two researchers will independently screen, select, and extract documents, with findings presented both narratively and in tabular format.

Objective: This review aims to synthesize women's experiences of perinatal depression screening.

Introduction: Perinatal depression is common for women during the perinatal period. The rate of untreated perinatal depression is high, and the consequences are serious. Targeted depression screening for perinatal women offers the potential to identify and treat undiagnosed patients and help prevent perinatal depression's detrimental consequences.

Eligibility criteria: Articles from all settings will be considered. This review will include qualitative data from qualitative research and mixed methods articles that explore women's experiences of perinatal depression screening. Participants are women who accept perinatal depression screening, regardless of age.

Methods: The search strategy will include CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Clinical Key, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Embase, PubMed, and Scopus. Two independent reviewers will cross-check the search outcomes and eligible articles and verify additional articles that are suitable for analysis. Google Scholar and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest) will be used to identify gray literature. The JBI approach will be used for literature selection, critical appraisal, data extraction, and data synthesis.

Objective: This scoping review aims to map the existing literature on physical activity-based interventions for the management of dementia and cognitive impairment in sub-Saharan Africa.

Introduction: Dementia and cognitive impairment are growing public health concerns in sub-Saharan Africa, where the number of affected individuals is expected to rise significantly. Given the high rate of dementia underdiagnosis in this region, many individuals experiencing cognitive decline may not have a formal dementia diagnosis. Physical activity-based interventions, conceptualized in this review as both structured exercise programs (eg, aerobic training, resistance exercises) and unstructured physical activities (eg, walking, dancing, or daily movement-based activities), are increasingly used in cognitive impairment dementia care. However, most research in this area has been conducted in other regions, with limited knowledge of how these interventions are applied in sub-Saharan African countries.

Eligibility criteria: The review will include studies focusing on individuals with dementia or cognitive impairment, where physical activity - based interventions are implemented. The setting will be sub-Saharan African countries, with no restrictions on the language or date of publication.

Methods: The review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). A comprehensive search will be conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, Embase, and African Journals Online databases. Gray literature sources, including Google Scholar and Database of African Theses and Dissertations-Research (DATAD-R), will also be searched. Data will be charted and summarized descriptively, with the results presented in narrative and visual formats.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to understand the extent and type of evidence in relation to measures of shared decision-making applicable to consultations between older people living with multiple long-term conditions and health care practitioners in primary care.

Introduction: The number of people living with multiple long-term conditions is expected to rise worldwide, putting pressure on primary care systems and practitioners. Patient involvement in shared decision-making is key to the provision of high-quality, patient-centered care and can enable self-management, efficiency, and effective care; however, there is a lack of pragmatic guidance. To evaluate shared decision-making in context and inform best practice, measures must be applicable for use in this population and setting.

Eligibility criteria: Studies reporting any measure of shared decision-making designed and developed for use in consultations between older patients (aged ≥ 65 years) and practitioners to map the breadth of domains and content of these measures will be considered for inclusion. Studies will be limited to Westernized health care systems.

Methods: This scoping review will follow JBI methodology. A comprehensive search will be conducted in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane CENTRAL, PROSPERO, ClinicalTrials.gov, and other gray literature sources. The search strategy will include keywords related to shared decision-making and measures/instruments, and will not be restricted by date or language. Data extraction and narrative analysis will be guided by the JBI framework.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review will be to evaluate the effectiveness of palliative care for treating adults with end-stage liver disease (ESLD), focusing on outcomes such as quality of life, quality of care, symptom burden, and patient satisfaction.

Introduction: ESLD is a critical health issue, characterized by various devitalizing symptoms that negatively affect quality of life for patients. Palliative care, which is a specialty used to alleviate pain and control other manifestations of the disease, has been suggested across various studies for the management of quality of life and symptom burden in patients with ESLD.

Eligibility criteria: This review will include studies focusing on the use of palliative care for adults (≥18 years) with ESLD. Papers that compare palliative care with usual care or placebo will also be included.

Methods: The review will follow the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness. PubMed, Embase (Ovid), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Scopus, and Web of Science will be searched for published studies. Sources to be searched for unpublished literature will include Google Scholar, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global, Shodhganga, MedNar, OpenGrey, and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. Two independent reviewers will assess titles, abstracts, and full-text papers against the inclusion criteria. A third reviewer will resolve any discrepancies. Standardized JBI appraisal tools will be used to critically appraise eligible studies. Two independent reviewers will extract data. Meta-analysis will be conducted for outcomes, where feasible. If a meta-analysis cannot be conducted, the findings will be reported in a narrative format, adhering to the Synthesis Without Meta-analysis guidelines. Certainty of evidence will be reported using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.

Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of health literacy interventions compared to standard or usual educational practices for knowledge, skills, and attitudes in community health workers.

Introduction: Health literacy plays a crucial role in improving personal and societal health outcomes. Community health workers, who serve as cultural mediators and health educators in communities, often face gaps in formal training on health literacy. Addressing this need through evidence-based interventions is essential to enhance their competencies and support their critical roles in health care systems worldwide.

Eligibility criteria: The review will consider experimental and quasi-experimental studies, including randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and cross-sectional studies. Studies evaluating health literacy interventions, such as training, workshops, or seminars, delivered through any modality and language will be included. Primary outcomes include community health workers' health literacy knowledge assessed through validated measures. Secondary outcomes include skills in obtaining and processing health information and health literacy attitudes.

Methods: Databases including PubMed, Embase (Ovid), CINAHL Ultimate (EBSCOhost), Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ProQuest Central will be searched, along with gray literature sources including ClinicalTrials.gov, World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, MedRxiv, and preprints.org. Screening of reports and assessment of methodological quality will be done by at least 2 reviewers independently. Data synthesis will involve meta-analysis, where appropriate, with subgroup analyses based on socioeconomic status, intervention duration, and delivery modality. Alternative synthesis methods will be used if statistical pooling is not possible. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach will be used to assess the certainty of findings.
