Good quality end-of life care for people with an intellectual disability: A critical interpretive synthesis protocol.

ABSTRACT: People with an intellectual disability face inequality accessing healthcare that extends to end-of-life care. Furthermore, end-of-life care for people with an intellectual disability is more complex than that for the general population. This protocol sets out how our review will explore the available evidence and identify the key characteristics of care that are required for people with an intellectual disability to have a good end-of-life experience. A critical interpretive synthesis approach will be adopted, combining some elements of a systematic review with interpretive synthesis. This approach has been selected as it allows a diverse body of literature to be considered. Furthermore, it is compatible with theory generation allowing new insights to emerge in an iterative process. Electr
