Barriers and facilitators to implementing psychosocial digital health interventions for older adults presenting to emergency departments: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Older adults can face challenges when seeking care from emergency departments (EDs) due to presenting with multiple comorbidities and non-specific symptoms. Psychosocial care is a possible target to help improve ED care for this population. It is possible that digital health technologies can be implemented within emergency settings to improve the provision of psychosocial care. However, it is unclear what the barriers and facilitators are to implementing digital psychosocial interventions for older adults presenting to the ED. Therefore, the scoping review aims to determine what are these barriers and facilitators.

Methods and analysis

The scoping review will be conducted in line with the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and will use the Preferred Reporting It
