| description | <h4>Objective</h4>This scoping review explores the constitution of a meaningful life as perceived by adults with acquired neurological impairment following an injury or a disease.<h4>Introduction</h4>A neurological injury or disease imposes extensive life changes on the affected person and his or her close relatives. Including the patients' perception of a meaningful life is crucial to facilitate adjustment of any rehabilitation initiatives to the patients' wishes, hopes, needs, and preferences. Even so, the descriptions and common traits of a meaningful life from the impaired person's perspective are scarcely covered in the literature. Hence, a scoping review of existing knowledge is needed to facilitate quality rehabilitation and research initiatives.<h4>Inclusion criteria</h4>All studies, regardless of their design, are included provided they describe a meaningful life as considered or experienced by persons aged 18 years or more with neurological impairment.<h4>Methods</h4>A PICo framework defines the search algorithms used in the databases MEDLINE, Cinahl, PsycINFO and Embase. Using Covidence, the scoping review systematically organizes the identified articles to provide a broad description of the study phenomenon. Furthermore, titles, abstracts, and full-text articles are screened independently by two reviewers to determine if they meet the inclusion criteria. In case of disagreement, a third and fourth reviewer are consulted. The scoping will be reported according to the PRISMA- SCR checklist. |
