RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review was to determine the effect of educational programs that have been implemented in acute health care settings to manage or prevent aggressive behaviors toward staff perpetrated by patients, families, or visitors. INTRODUCTION: Health care staff working within acute-level and tertiary-level hospitals are at high risk of exposure to aggressive behaviors by patients, their family, or visitors. Negative staff and organizational impacts reported in the literature include individual psychological or emotional distress and severe harm, increased absenteeism, high staff turnover, and awarded compensation. Reports of this kind of occupational violence are increasing globally; therefore, strategies to address prevention and management are needed to mitigate the risk of harm to staff and the wider hospital service. Various educational activities have been implemented to address the issue, but the overall effect of these is unclear. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Experimental and quasi-experimental studies were considered for inclusion if they reported on an educational program or intervention for staff working within an acute hospital setting and aimed at managing or preventing occupational violence perpetrated by patients, family, or visitors. Reports of programs implemented to address occupational violence, whether verbal or physical, were included. Studies were excluded if they reported on upward violence or bullying, patients in psychiatric or dementia facilities, or pediatric patients, due to the specific care needs of these cohorts. METHODS: The following databases were searched: PubMed (PubMed Central), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), Embase, ERIC (ProQuest), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Cochrane Library), and Scopus. ProQuest Dissertations and Theses was searched for unpublished studies. To obtain a wider perspective of the issue, studies published in Chinese were also searched in WanFang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chongqing VIP. A date filter of 2008-2023 was applied in a deliberate effort to expand from previous work. No language filters were applied. The review was conducted in accordance with JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness, and reported as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. RESULTS: The search process retrieved 4681 citations. A total of 32 studies representing 3246 health staff were included in the review. The studies were either before-and-after or pre-test/post-test study designs. Methodological quality of studies varied, with the main issues being absence of CIs within statistical analysis, limited detail on participant selection or attrition/non-response, and underreporting of confounding factors. Educational programs varied in content and duration. Content delivery across the studies also varied, with several didactic, role-play, debriefing, group work, and simulation exercises reported. While studies reported some improvement in self-reported confidence levels, results were mixed for other outcomes. Determining overall effect of included studies was challenging due to heterogeneity within and across studies with regard to intervention types, populations, measurement tools, and outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: This review is unable to determine which workplace educational programs had an effect on staff outcomes or on the number of occupational violence incidents. In the future, educators and researchers could use the findings of this review to guide the design of educational programs and employ measures that are comparable to their settings.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This review will explore the literature on contemporary incident analysis methods used in acute hospital settings, identifying types and characteristics of these methods and how they are used to minimize, prevent, or learn from errors and improve patient safety. INTRODUCTION: Safety is a major focus in health care; however, despite best efforts, errors and incidents still occur, leading to harm or potential harm to patients, families, carers, staff, or the organization. Incident analysis methods aim to reduce risk of harm. Traditional methods have been criticized for failing to consider the complexity of health care and the dynamic nature of acute care settings. Alternative methodologies are being sought to achieve higher levels of patient safety and care quality care in hospitals. Learning from errors and communicating with those involved in incidents are key requirements in contemporary incident analysis. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will consider empirical research published since 2013, reporting on the use of clinical incident analysis methods within acute care settings. The review will explore ways in which consumers or stakeholders (eg, clinicians or other hospital workers, patients, families, carers, visitors) have been included in these analysis methods and how data have been used to support changes in the service or organization. METHODS: Following JBI methods and PRISMA-ScR reporting guidance, we will search PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Embase, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. Studies will be reviewed independently, with results presented in tables, figures, and narrative summaries according to the concepts of interest.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To develop a consensus on evidence-based principles and recommendations for perioperative hypothermia prevention in the Australian context. DESIGN: This study was informed by CAN-IMPLEMENT using the ADAPTE process: (1) formation of a multidisciplinary development team; (2) systematic search process identifying existing guidance for perioperative hypothermia prevention; (3) appraisal using the AGREE II Rigor of Development domain; (4) extraction of recommendations from guidelines meeting a quality threshold using the AGREE-REX tool; (5) review of draft principles and recommendations by multidisciplinary clinicians nationally and (6) subsequent round of discussion, drafting, reflection and revision by the original panel member team. SETTING: Australian perioperative departments. PARTICIPANTS: Registered nurses, anaesthetists, surgeons and anaesthetic allied health practitioners. RESULTS: A total of 23 papers (12 guidelines, 6 evidence summaries, 3 standards, 1 best practice sheet and 1 evidence-based bundle) formed the evidence base. After evidence synthesis and development of draft recommendations, 219 perioperative clinicians provided feedback. Following refinement, three simple principles for perioperative hypothermia prevention were developed with supporting practice recommendations: (1) actively monitor core temperature for all patients at all times; (2) warm actively to keep body temperature above 36°C and patients comfortable and (3) minimise exposure to cold at all stages of perioperative care. CONCLUSION: This consensus process has generated principles and practice recommendations for hypothermia prevention that are ready for implementation with local adaptation. Further evaluation will be undertaken in a large-scale implementation trial across Australian hospitals.

RESUMO

Women receiving intrathecal morphine for cesarean delivery may experience hypothermia with paradoxical symptoms of sweating, nausea, and shivering. Despite being relatively rare in comparison to commonly experienced symptoms of perioperative hypothermia, hypothermia with paradoxical symptoms affects early maternal recovery and comfort. The cause is undetermined, and treatment approaches vary. Regular active-warming strategies may not be tolerated because of the paradoxical symptoms of sweating and feeling overheated. This case series aims to explore the phenomenon through the evaluation of health care records of women receiving intrathecal morphine for cesarean delivery at a single, tertiary health care institution in Australia from 2015 to 2018. We also summarize published literature to review treatment approaches used in the care of women experiencing profound heat loss while feeling overheated.

RESUMO

Objective: Dignity therapy is a short-term psychotherapy used to help patients at end of life through addressing distress and enhancing dignity. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of introducing dignity therapy into a hospital-based cancer care service. Methods: A feasibility study was undertaken using a randomised controlled trial design. Participants were adult patients receiving systemic treatment for cancer or haematological malignancy with palliative intent, within an Australian ambulatory cancer treatment centre. Outcomes of interest were patient distress levels and feasibility of intervention delivery. Participants completed two self-reported distress scales at recruitment and four weeks following (control group) or one month after intervention delivery (intervention group). Patients receiving the intervention also completed the dignity therapy patient feedback questionnaire. Feasibility was measured by collecting data on time required to implement the intervention with subsequent crude cost estimates calculated. Study procedures are reported according to CONSORT guidance. Results: Fifteen patients were recruited for the study. Participants in the intervention group reported small but significantly different lower distress scores than those in the control group at 4 weeks. The time taken to deliver the intervention ranged from 5.5 to 11 h with subsequent cost dependent on the remuneration of the dignity therapy therapist. Conclusions: Findings support other studies on the benefit to patients from delivering a dignity therapy intervention at end of life. Feasibility is influenced by multidisciplinary team support, resource availability and the designated therapist delivering the intervention. Larger sample sizes are needed to ascertain effect.

RESUMO

AIM: This project aimed to evaluate student and staff satisfaction with, and perspectives on, changes to delivery and format of the Medication Unit of Competency within a Diploma of Nursing Program. BACKGROUND: Medication safety is an integral component of learning for pre-registration nursing students. The COVID-19 pandemic required rapid changes to be made to the medication competency unit being taught to students within a Diploma of Nursing, pre-registration course. Changes to sequencing of theory, mode of education delivery, class sizes, available resources and learning support were required. DESIGN: A multi-method evaluation process was conducted. The project is reported as per SQUIRE-EDU guidelines. METHODS: Focus groups and survey data were obtained from staff and students in December 2020, to evaluate responses to the changes. Student exam results and the number of learning support consultations accessed were also assessed to identify impact of changes. RESULTS: Staff and student evaluation identified mixed responses but overall, the change in sequence of theory and mode of delivery was positively received. Crude comparisons of final assessment results revealed improved marks compared to the previous cohort. The addition of an online medication resource was utilised by most students. The agility of staff in responding to the challenges was highlighted in the staff focus group and additional, flexible learning support was favourably received by students. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the need for rapid changes being made to the course, positive responses were received from both staff and students. Some students preferred the traditional sequencing of learning as they felt it matched their learning style. An added online resource and extra learning support supported student self-efficacy development of medication competency; however further research is needed to ascertain any associations. The online resource is still being utilised within course curriculum.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this scoping review is to describe the literature reporting on ethical challenges faced by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic, including the contextual characteristics of ethical challenges, and the strategies to address these challenges. INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic presented many ethical challenges to nurses, ranging from allocating scarce resources, to balancing a duty of care with self-preservation, and implementing visitation restrictions. Internationally, there has been a range of reported issues, but few studies have described strategies to overcome these challenges. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Studies that report on ethical challenges faced by nurses while caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic will be included. Studies that report on strategies to address these challenges will also be considered for inclusion. METHODS: This scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the methods outlined by JBI and reported using PRISMA-ScR guidance. The following databases will be searched for eligible studies from November 2019 to present day: PubMed, CINAHL, Ovid, PsycINFO, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus. No language restrictions will be applied. Studies will be reviewed for inclusion by 2 independent reviewers and a data extraction form developed specifically for this review will be used to extract data relevant to the review questions. Results will be analyzed and presented according to the concepts of interest, using tables, figures, images, and supporting narrative synthesis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this scoping review is to map the available literature on the role of specialist lung cancer nurses. INTRODUCTION: The international literature acknowledges the importance of specialist cancer nurses who provide supportive care to patients. Historically, however, there has been a lack of consistent evidence to inform development and implementation of the role. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will consider quantitative and qualitative studies of any design or methodology that report on role characteristics or behaviors, practices, or activities, or other aspects of specialist lung cancer nurses in the acute care setting. Systematic reviews, professional body reports, as well as unpublished or published studies and reports will also be considered for inclusion. Textual or opinion papers will be excluded. METHODS: This review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. Relevant papers from 2006 to 2022, in any language, will be searched for in the following databases and registries: MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCO), Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials. Websites to be searched will include the World Health Organization, International Council of Nurses, and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. ProQuest Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest) and Grey Matters (CADTH) will be searched for unpublished literature. Results will be presented in tabular and narrative format and mapped according to the specified concepts of interest, as well as to the domains of practice for specialist nursing roles.

RESUMO

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) and patient satisfaction surveys provide important information on how care can be improved. However, data collection does not always translate to changes in practice or service delivery. This scoping review aimed to collect, map and report on the use of collected patient-reported data used within acute healthcare contexts for improvement to care or processes. Using JBI methods, an extensive search was undertaken of multiple health databases and trial registries for published and unpublished studies. The concepts of interest included the types and characteristics of published patient experience and PROMs research, with a specific focus on the ways in which data have been applied to clinical practice. Barriers and facilitators to the use of collected data were also explored. From 4057 records, 86 papers were included. Most research was undertaken in North America, Canada or the UK. The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems tool (HCAHPS) was used most frequently for measuring patient satisfaction. Where reported, data were applied to improve patient-centred care and utilization of health resources. Gaps in the use of patient data within hospital services are noticeable. Engaging management and improving staff capability are needed to overcome barriers to implementation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of social activity interventions for improving sleep among older people. INTRODUCTION: Sleep is one of the most important functions for humans because it assists in maintaining health. Sleep disturbance is common in older people. Social activity has shown to be associated with better sleep in the older population; however, the effectiveness of these interventions is unclear. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will consider studies that include people aged 60 years or older. Any type of social activity intervention will be included. Outcomes will include both objective (eg, sleep time) and subjective sleep measures (eg, subjective sleep satisfaction). This review will consider both experimental and quasi-experimental study designs. METHODS: MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Ichushi web will be searched for eligible studies. Sources of unpublished studies and gray literature to be searched include OpenGrey and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. Studies published in any language will be considered. No date filter will be applied. Titles and abstracts will be screened by two independent reviewers who will then assess the full text of selected citations against the inclusion criteria. Eligible studies will be critically appraised by the reviewers using the JBI critical appraisal instruments. Where possible, studies will be pooled using meta-analysis. Where statistical pooling is not possible, the findings will be presented in narrative form. The degree of certainty of the evidence on sleep outcomes will be assessed using the GRADE approach.

RESUMO

This study explored the feasibility of using experience-based co-design methods (EBCD), based on participatory action principles, to improve service delivery regarding parent information needs within a metropolitan postnatal maternity unit. Data were collected from January 2018 to March 2019 from parents and staff using surveys, video interviews, a focus group and ward observations of episodes where parents were provided information. Participants included postnatal mothers who had recently given birth, their partners and hospital staff. Survey results (n = 31) were positive regarding content and satisfaction with information delivery. Data from the staff focus group (seven participants) and in-depth video interviews with mothers (n = 4) identified common themes, including challenges to information delivery due to time pressures, the value of breastfeeding advice and environmental influences. Overall, parents were satisfied with the information delivered; however, inconsistencies were present, with time pressures and other environmental factors reported as influencing the process. Staff and parents both identified the amount of content being delivered in such a short time frame as a major challenge and tailoring information was difficult due to individual experiences and circumstances. Additional resources or alternative methods are suggested for conducting future studies to capture patient experience within a similar busy hospital setting.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review is to determine the effectiveness of behavioral economic interventions for promoting uptake of and adherence to cancer screening recommended by guidelines. INTRODUCTION: Cancer screening has been found to help reduce incidence of and mortality from advanced cancer. However, adherence to recommended cancer screening services is low in asymptomatic adults with average risk, possibly due to systematic decision biases. The findings of this review will demonstrate whether interventions informed by behavioral economic insights can help improve uptake of and adherence to cancer screening. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review will consider experimental, quasi-experimental, and analytical observational studies that i) evaluate the effects of behavioral economic interventions in adults eligible for guideline-recommended cancer screening; and ii) report the number/percentage of individuals who used screening services; number/percentage of individuals who completed screening recommended by guidelines; participant self-reported intentions, choice, and satisfaction regarding the use of screening services; detection rates of early-stage cancers; use of early intervention for cancers; and cancer-related mortality. METHODS: A systematic literature search will be performed by one reviewer. After removing duplicates, two reviewers will independently screen and appraise eligible studies according to the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness. Five databases will be searched: CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, PsyclNFO, PubMed, and Web of Science. Sources of gray literature and registered clinical trials will also be searched for potential studies. There will be no limits on publication date or language. Data synthesis will be conducted using meta-analysis and narrative synthesis where appropriate. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42021258370.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Women with genetic mutations including BRCA1, BRCA2 and Lynch syndrome are at increased risk of developing gynaecological cancers with management options including surveillance and/or risk reduction surgery. Little is known about the information women require to inform their decisions around having risk reduction surgery, the implication this surgery has for them and the timing preferences to receive this information. AIMS: To identify the information needs of women who are considering or who have had risk reduction surgery due to having a diagnosed or suspected genetic mutation with subsequent increased risk of developing gynaecological cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A pilot survey was undertaken in a tertiary, metropolitan hospital as part of a service improvement project. Women referred to the gynaecology-oncology service for gynaecological risk reduction surgery between January to December 2018 were invited to participate through completing either online or hard copy versions of a 12-item survey. RESULTS: A response rate of 60% (n = 32) was obtained from women between 27 and 77 years of age. Key information topics included sexuality and intimacy (90.6%; n = 29), the surgery itself (87.5%; n = 28) and surgical menopause (87.5%; n = 28). Over 90% (n = 31) of respondents stated they preferred to receive information about surgery pre-operatively and in written format (81.3%; n = 26). The importance of a multidisciplinary approach was recognised with women wanting information from allied health practitioners such as physiotherapists and social workers. CONCLUSIONS: Findings have enabled a better understanding of the type, timing and content of information desired by women making complex decisions about risk reduction surgery. Results have contributed to developing an information resource which will more adequately assist women to meet their information needs when considering gynaecological risk reduction surgery in our hospital.

RESUMO

AIMS: To describe the undergraduate nursing students' and nursing educators' evidence-based practice beliefs, their extent of evidence-based practice implementation and their perspectives regarding organizational culture for evidence-based practice. To identify any relationship between the mentioned variables. BACKGROUND: The integration of evidence-based practice in nursing curricula is crucial to educate nursing students to incorporate evidence-based practice in their future clinical practice. Therefore, to promote its integration within nursing education, it is important to deeply understand how prepared academic institutions are for teaching about and supporting evidence-based practice integration. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: Nursing educators and undergraduate nursing students from nine Portuguese nursing schools were invited to participate in this study through an electronic survey comprising socio-demographic questions and the scales. RESULTS: Sixty-eight nursing educators replied to the survey. Most were female, have PhD and have evidence-based practice training. They showed mean scores of 88.92 ± 8.18 for evidence-based practice beliefs, 40.20 ± 18.93 for evidence-based practice implementation and 80.59 ± 17.52 for evidence-based practice organizational culture and readiness. Concerning nursing educator sample, there were moderate and statistically significant relationship between: evidence-based practice beliefs and implementation; and evidence-based practice beliefs and organizational culture and readiness for school-wide integration of evidence-based practice. Between evidence-based practice implementation and organizational culture and readiness for school-wide integration of evidence-based practice, there was a small relationship. One hundred and sixty-seven undergraduate nursing students answered the survey. Mostly, they were female and were in third or fourth year of their nursing degree. Similarly, to educators, students showed mean scores of 58.69 ± 6.92 for evidence-based practice beliefs, 32.37 ± 16.97 for evidence-based practice implementation and 84.20 ± 23.48 for evidence-based practice organizational culture and readiness. Regarding undergraduate nursing student sample, there were moderate and statistically significant relationship between the different variables. CONCLUSIONS: Both nursing educators and undergraduate nursing students had strong evidence-based practice beliefs, but low levels of evidence-based practice implementation. In nursing educators' and undergraduate nursing students' perspectives, there were opportunities in their schools for the development of an evidence-based practice culture. Based on results, support for development and testing of interventions, specifically tailored for promoting evidence-based practice implementation in nursing educational contexts, is recommended.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review is to determine the most effective strategies for educating health care staff to manage or prevent aggressive patient behaviors within an acute care setting. INTRODUCTION: Health care workers in acute settings are frequently at risk of being injured by aggressive patients. Staff are often ill-prepared to de-escalate such behaviors and, therefore, are at greater exposure to verbal or physical injury. This protocol outlines methods for a systematic review on the effectiveness of educational strategies to manage and/or prevent aggressive patient behaviors in hospitals. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Quantitative studies that report on programs used to educate or train hospital staff in managing or preventing an episode of aggressive behavior by an adult patient while in an acute health care facility will be included. Individual, program, and organizational outcomes, such as confidence, behavior, knowledge, or attitudes, as well as recorded rates of injury, sick leave, stress, anxiety, or detection/prevention of aggression before and/or after the intervention will be analyzed. Psychiatric patients or settings are excluded from this review. METHODS: Two reviewers will independently select and appraise eligible studies and extract data following methods outlined by JBI for systematic reviews of effectiveness. Multiple databases will be searched for studies in English and Chinese from 2008 to the present. The JBI System for the Unified Management, Assessment and Review of Information (JBI SUMARI) will be used to manage studies and, where possible, meta-analysis will be undertaken. Results will be presented in a Summary of Findings following the GRADE approach. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42020190538.

RESUMO

Evidence-based practice (EBP) prevents unsafe/inefficient practices and improves healthcare quality, but its implementation is challenging due to research and practice gaps. A focused educational program can assist future nurses to minimize these gaps. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of an EBP educational program on undergraduate nursing students' EBP knowledge and skills. A cluster randomized controlled trial was undertaken. Six optional courses in the Bachelor of Nursing final year were randomly assigned to the experimental (EBP educational program) or control group. Nursing students' EBP knowledge and skills were measured at baseline and post-intervention. A qualitative analysis of 18 students' final written work was also performed. Results show a statistically significant interaction between the intervention and time on EBP knowledge and skills (p = 0.002). From pre- to post-intervention, students' knowledge and skills on EBP improved in both groups (intervention group: p < 0.001; control group: p < 0.001). At the post-intervention, there was a statistically significant difference in EBP knowledge and skills between intervention and control groups (p = 0.011). Students in the intervention group presented monographs with clearer review questions, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and methodology compared to students in the control group. The EBP educational program showed a potential to promote the EBP knowledge and skills of future nurses.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The Fresno Test was originally identified as an instrument to assess evidence-based practice knowledge and skills through cognitive testing and performance assessment in medical students. Further studies have been recommended to establish the measurement properties of the Fresno Test in different learner populations. OBJECTIVES: To perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the Fresno Test for Portuguese undergraduate nursing students and to analyze the interrater reliability. DESIGN: Cross-cultural adaptation study with interrater reliability assessment carried out in two phases during 2017-2018. SETTINGS: One of the main nursing schools, Portugal. PARTICIPANTS: Fourth year undergraduate nursing students. METHODS: The study was performed in two phases, firstly the cross-cultural adaptation (performed in five stages) and secondly the analysis of interrater reliability. RESULTS: Stages I, II, III and IV of the cross-cultural adaptation proceeded smoothly and the expert panel produced and agreed upon the pre-final version of Adapted Fresno Test. In stage V (the pre-test stage), students reported a general understanding of the items, but they reported a lack of knowledge to answer the test. An expert panel subsequently agreed that modifications were needed to ensure the test was within the student's competency level and to decrease risk of assessment bias. For phase II, 50 complete questionnaires were randomly selected to be rated by three independent nurses using the modified rubric to score the test. The overall interrater reliability was 0.826 with a range from 0.271 to 1.000 for each item. CONCLUSIONS: The Adapted Fresno Test presented in this paper is the first instrument translated for European Portuguese and adapted specially for undergraduate nursing students. Despite good interrater reliability, further validation studies with more robust samples are suggested to definitively establish psychometric properties beyond the interrater reliability.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this scoping review is to investigate use of patient reported experience measures and patient reported outcome measures within the acute health care context. INTRODUCTION: Data from patient reported outcome measures and patient reported experience measures provide important information for health professionals and organizations in order to improve patient-centered care. These two measures have potential to narrow the gap between the clinician's and patient's views and help tailor treatment plans to meet the patient's preferences and needs. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This scoping review will consider studies that include patients of any age and any condition who have obtained care from any acute health care facility. The concepts of this review are: the types of research studies that have been done using patient reported experience measures and patient reported outcome measures data in acute hospital settings, the geographical contexts of these two measures' studies, the barriers and facilitators that have been identified in studies that use data from the measures, the characteristics of patient reported experience measures and patient reported outcome measures data and the ways in which these types of data have been applied to clinical practice in acute care settings. This review will consider studies that are set in any acute health care setting including inpatient and outpatient areas, emergency departments, and critical care units. METHODS: This scoping review, utilizing JBI methods, will include an extensive search of the databases for published and unpublished literature. The review will consider any type of quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods research evidence as well as systematic reviews to understand how hospitals use patient reported experience measures and patient reported outcome measures data in health care. Each included study will be assessed by two independent reviewers and data will be extracted from included papers using a standardized data extraction tool.
