Scoping Review Protocol for Self-Management Strategies in ICU Survivors

A protocol for a scoping review that will map the literature on self-management strategies for adult survivors of critical illness. The review will follow Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and search multiple databases from inception. The 5.5 KB Excel file was authored by Anastasia N. L. Newman and last updated on April 30, 2026.

Use Cases

• Planning a systematic review based on the described methodology and search strategy.
• Identifying research gaps in self-management for critical illness survivors based on the review's objectives.
• Informing clinical practice guidelines for post-ICU care based on the synthesis of patient-centered outcomes.

Strengths

• Follows established Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines.
• Search strategy includes six major biomedical databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, CINAHL, PsycINFO, AMED).
• Data extraction and screening involve two independent reviewers with a third for conflict resolution.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 5.5 KB protocol document, not the actual review data or findings.
• Row count and column-level documentation for extracted data are unknown.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
