Interventions facilitating the involvement of relatives of patients with acquired brain injury or malignant brain tumour through the course of disease: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Research identifying the needs of relatives of patients with an acquired brain injury or malignant brain tumours is emerging, and the importance of relative involvement is widely acknowledged. However, the intention of involvement does not seem to be present in current practice and healthcare professionals' routines. The complexity of involvement of relatives is comprehensive, and there is a lack of overview of interventions facilitating and enhancing involvement of relatives. This scoping review aims to identify and map the available evidence on interventions facilitating involvement of relatives of patients with acquired brain injury or malignant brain tumour throughout the disease trajectory.

Methods and analysis

The proposed scoping review will be performed
