Abstract

Objective: This scoping review aims to map and examine the extent and type of available evidence on health professionals' education accreditation within Africa.

Introduction: The demand for health professionals is unprecedentedly high globally. One response to this challenge has been expanding training through more liberal education policies, facilitating private sector participation in education service provision. Some evidence suggests that this is a double-edged sword, increasing quantity but compromising the quality of health professionals produced. Regulation can provide a framework to assure and continuously improve quality, with such regulation in place in 79% of World Health Organization African countries. However, it is unclear how much and what evidence has been generated on how accreditation happens, where it is concentrated, and the prevailing evidence gaps within this region; therefore, we propose to conduct a scoping review.

Inclusion criteria: This review will include articles and dissertations focusing on the accreditation of health professionals' education in Africa. All methodological approaches and designs will be included. Conference abstracts and protocols will be excluded.

Methods: This review will be carried out according to the JBI scoping review methodology. We conducted an initial search of CINAHL and MEDLINE to identify relevant articles. This informed our selection of keywords, along with index terms, to create a comprehensive search strategy for CINAHL (EBSCOhost), MEDLINE (Ovid), Global Health (Ovid), ERIC (EBSCOhost), Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, and Scopus. Sources included will be limited to those published starting from 2000 onwards. Data will be presented using tables and charts, accompanied by a narrative summary.

世界卫生组织非洲地区卫生专业人员教育认证的证据:范围界定审查协议。
目的本范围界定综述旨在对非洲卫生专业人员教育认证方面现有证据的范围和类型进行规划和研究:全球对卫生专业人员的需求空前高涨。应对这一挑战的办法之一是通过更加宽松的教育政策扩大培训,促进私营部门参与教育服务的提供。一些证据表明,这是一把双刃剑,虽然增加了数量,但却降低了培养卫生专业人员的质量。监管可以提供一个确保并不断提高质量的框架,世界卫生组织 79% 的非洲国家都有这种监管。然而,目前还不清楚关于评审如何进行、评审集中在哪些地方以及该地区普遍存在的证据差距的证据有多少、有哪些;因此,我们建议进行一次范围界定综述:本综述将包括关注非洲卫生专业人员教育认证的文章和论文。所有方法和设计都将包括在内。方法:本综述将按照 JBI 范围综述方法进行。我们对 CINAHL 和 MEDLINE 进行了初步检索,以确定相关文章。这为我们选择关键词和索引术语提供了依据,从而为 CINAHL (EBSCOhost)、MEDLINE (Ovid)、Global Health (Ovid)、ERIC (EBSCOhost)、Web of Science Core Collection、Embase 和 Scopus 制定了全面的检索策略。收录的资料来源仅限于 2000 年以后发表的资料。数据将以表格和图表的形式呈现,并附有叙述性摘要。有关本综述项目的详细信息,请参阅开放科学框架:https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/W5G7T。
