Abstract
Aim: To provide an overview of the various influencing factors related to the positive aspects of caring for dementia patients by family caregivers.
Design: A systematic mixed studies review.
Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guided this protocol as reported. Peer-reviewed studies published in English from 1997 to the present will be searched via information sources, gray literature, and the following databases: Web of Science, PsycINFO, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Eligible trials will also be retrieved from ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. This will be a mixed studies review. The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool will be used for the mixed-method studies. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for case-control and cohort studies and the JBI quality scale for cross-sectional and interventional (i.e., randomized or quasi-experimental) studies will be consulted. The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Qualitative Research will be used for the qualitative studies. All the data will be extricated with JBI data extraction tools. The convergent synthesis method will be used in the review.
Discussion: This systematic review will synthesize and analyze the factors that influence the positive aspects of caring for dementia patients by family caregivers.
Conclusion: The findings will help decision-makers to adopt more appropriate and effective interventions for caregivers of people with dementia.
Patient or public contributions: This review protocol will ascertain the factors affecting the mediation of and path to improved caregiving, explore the factors' action mechanisms, and examine the controlling factors to design a more targeted intervention program to improve caregiving, thus improving dementia patients' outcomes and care. Contributions of the findings will include evidence of strategies that address ongoing dementia caregiving issues and the identification of areas for future research.
期刊介绍：
Systematic Reviews encompasses all aspects of the design, conduct and reporting of systematic reviews. The journal publishes high quality systematic review products including systematic review protocols, systematic reviews related to a very broad definition of health, rapid reviews, updates of already completed systematic reviews, and methods research related to the science of systematic reviews, such as decision modelling. At this time Systematic Reviews does not accept reviews of in vitro studies. The journal also aims to ensure that the results of all well-conducted systematic reviews are published, regardless of their outcome.
