ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This scoping review explores the constitution of a meaningful life as perceived by adults with acquired neurological impairment following an injury or a disease.INTRODUCTION:
A neurological injury or disease imposes extensive life changes on the affected person and his or her close relatives. Including the patients' perception of a meaningful life is crucial to facilitate adjustment of any rehabilitation initiatives to the patients' wishes, hopes, needs, and preferences. Even so, the descriptions and common traits of a meaningful life from the impaired person's perspective are scarcely covered in the literature. Hence, a scoping review of existing knowledge is needed to facilitate quality rehabilitation and research initiatives. INCLUSION CRITERIA All studies, regardless of their design, are included provided they describe a meaningful life as considered or experienced by persons aged 18 years or more with neurological impairment.METHODS:
A PICo framework defines the search algorithms used in the databases MEDLINE, Cinahl, PsycINFO and Embase. Using Covidence, the scoping review systematically organizes the identified articles to provide a broad description of the study phenomenon. Furthermore, titles, abstracts, and full-text articles are screened independently by two reviewers to determine if they meet the inclusion criteria. In case of disagreement, a third and fourth reviewer are consulted. The scoping will be reported according to the PRISMA- SCR checklist.
