Role of security guards in healthcare settings: a protocol for a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is a paucity of literature on the comprehensive roles of security guards in healthcare, regardless of day-to-day observations of security guards playing an extensive role in this field. Thus, this review will systematically explore the roles of security guards in healthcare contexts to create a centred body of evidence.

Methods and analysis

The study will systematically review existing quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed literature on security guards in institutional healthcare so as to understand their roles. We will conduct the systematic review on 10 electronic databases: BioMed Central, SocIndex, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, JSTOR, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed. Data extraction will be in the form of a word document
