Objective: This review will investigate the effect of edible marine seaweed on plasma glucose in healthy, at-risk, and type-2 diabetic individuals.

Introduction: Edible marine seaweed has potential as a dietary supplement for individuals with varying glycemic status, including healthy individuals, those at risk of diabetes, and patients with diabetes. Systematic reviews on brown seaweeds do exist; however, a comprehensive review of marine seaweeds (brown, red, and green) is yet to be conducted.

Eligibility criteria: This review will include studies comparing edible marine seaweed and/or seaweed extracts, either alone or in combination with other interventions, regardless of dosage, frequency, or duration, among adults 18 years or above with placebo or any other treatments using other edible marine seaweeds or the same treatment with different treatment doses in the intervention group.

Methods: The review will follow the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness. We will search PubMed, Embase (Ovid), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection for published studies. For unpublished literature, we will search ClinicalTrials.gov, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry, MedNar, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, and Google Scholar. Titles, abstracts, and full-text papers will be assessed against the inclusion criteria by 2 independent reviewers. Selected studies will be critically appraised using the standardized JBI appraisal tools. Data will then be extracted, followed by meta-analysis or network meta-analysis for all outcomes. Weighted mean differences will be used for continuous data, while risk ratios will be used for dichotomous data. Certainty will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.

Objective: This scoping review will identify multilevel language interventions that target spoken language production in aphasia following stroke and describe their characteristics, the theoretical predictions of the approaches, and what tools are used to measure outcomes.

Introduction: Multilevel aphasia interventions target more than one linguistic level in a sequential and/or simultaneous way. Recent research has shown that treating multiple levels of language processing in the same intervention can broaden treatment effectiveness. It can also provide greater evidence of therapy gains, transferring to untreated language skills and impacting broader participation and quality of life, than focusing on language levels in isolation. Currently, there is no synthesis or analysis of multilevel aphasia interventions in the literature that might help understand the components that may contribute to these potential benefits. Conducting a scoping review will allow us to systematically explore the nature of these multilevel interventions, their proposed outcomes, and highlight directions for clinical practice and future research.

Eligibility criteria: This review will consider aphasia intervention studies that aim to improve spoken production through involving more than one linguistic level in the intervention. Studies will include adults 18 years and older with post-stroke aphasia irrespective of aphasia type, severity, or time post-onset. All settings will be eligible for inclusion.

Methods: This review will be conducted in accordance with JBI methodology for scoping reviews. CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and Scopus will be searched for published articles. 2 reviewers will independently screen articles for relevance against the inclusion criteria. Data will be presented in tables, accompanied by a narrative summary.

Objective: This scoping review aims to map the literature on alternative methods for completing pharmacy internship hours when onsite training is not feasible.

Introduction: Traditional pharmacy internships have long played a key role in bridging academic learning with practical experience. However, global disruptions and an oversupply of pharmacy graduates have challenged this model. In response, many institutions have adopted alternative, technology-based training methods that minimize the need for face-to-face interaction. Despite their growing use, the diversity, effectiveness, and assessment of these alternative approaches remain underexplored.

Eligibility criteria: All studies that discuss strategies for adapting pharmacy internship programs will be included. Reviews, mixed methods studies, qualitative studies, quantitative studies, and gray literature will be considered. All alternative methods for completing pharmacy internship hours, such as remote supervision, project-based learning, problem-based learning, simulation-based training, telepharmacy, and other approaches, will be considered.

Methods: This review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. We will search literature from any cultural or geographical context that meets the eligibility criteria in Scopus, PubMed, Embase (Ovid), ERIC, Web of Science, as well as gray literature (ProQuest, informit.org, and the National Technical Reports Library) without any date restrictions. Evidence will be mapped using a predetermined data extraction form based on the review's objectives and presented in tabular format accompanied by a narrative summary.

Objectives: This scoping review will aim to map the clinical pathways for patients undergoing adult hip, knee, or shoulder arthroplasties. The review will also map the indicators and measurement tools used to evaluate the effectiveness of these pathways.

Introduction: Clinical pathways are structured, multidisciplinary care plans designed to standardize and optimize patient care. Clinical pathways reduce clinical heterogeneity, decrease malpractice risk, ensure high-quality care, and lower costs. The evidence characterizing these pathways and their evaluation indicators remains fragmented.

Eligibility criteria: This review will consider studies of any type on hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty; performed on adults; that describe clinical pathways, including their components, implementation, and evaluation.

Methods: This review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. A 3-step search strategy will be used to identify published and unpublished studies across multiple databases: PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, and the Cochrane Library. Gray literature will also be searched for. Studies published in English, Portuguese, and Spanish will be included, with no date limitations on the searches. Two independent reviewers will screen study titles, abstracts, and full texts, and extract data using a predefined extraction form. Data will be presented in tabular format and synthesized narratively.

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.
