Women's experiences of living with adenomyosis and perceptions of the diagnostic journey: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Uterine adenomyosis is a common gynaecological disease that can be debilitating. It is poorly understood and may be overlooked in clinical settings. A research gap exists as there are currently no published scoping reviews on perceptions and experiences early in the illness course. As part of a professional doctorate thesis, the aim of this review is to systematically retrieve and describe available literature, exploring the impact of living with adenomyosis and perceptions of the diagnostic journey.

Design

A scoping review is conducted using JBI methodology.

Data sources

Medline, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, JBI and PROSPERO databases, EThOS online and Google. Searches were made from database inception to July 2023.
