Experiences, prevalence and drivers of disrespect and abuse of adolescents during facility-based childbirth in sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adolescents are more likely to experience disrespect and abuse (D&A) by skilled health personnel during facility-based childbirth. However, research evidence on the experiences, prevalence and drivers of D&A of adolescents in childbirth is limited. We aim to establish research evidence on the experiences, prevalence and drivers of D&A of adolescents during facility-based childbirth in sub-Saharan Africa and identify gaps in the literature to inform future research.

Methods and analysis

The protocol is designed using Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework and will be reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. We will systematically search to retrieve peer-reviewed articles publi
