Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: This review will map the updated literature on information needs and information-seeking behaviors of patients, carers, and families in acute care hospital settings.
INTRODUCTION: Providing information to patients, carers, and families during hospital admission is essential for effective communication. Preferences regarding the mode, timing, and source of information vary widely, and expectations have evolved since the COVID‑19 pandemic. This updated scoping review will map contemporary approaches, trends, and concepts underpinning information delivery in acute hospital settings, contrasting the results with findings from our previous review. This review will form part of a collaboration between health professionals and academic library information specialists.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: This review will consider sources of evidence on information needs and information-seeking behaviors of adult patients, carers, or family members within acute care hospital settings. It will consider the information content, timing of delivery, preference for who communicates, and mode of delivery. This review will consider qualitative and quantitative study designs, including research syntheses, published in any language over 2017-2026.
METHODS: This review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. The databases to be searched include CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Emcare, and Scopus. We will consider published and unpublished articles, and data will be extracted by 2 reviewers independently. We anticipate many included articles, so tables, figures, and infographics will be used to support the presentation of high-level narrative results.
