“…Long Covid research currently insufficiently considers the experiences of people from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds [49,50], who are disproportionally affected by COVID-19 [9,11,12]. Whilst Long Covid prevalence is not highest for these groups [6], they are likely to face unique consequences of Long Covid, due to existing barriers to seeking healthcare, care not matching their needs, stigma and discrimination within healthcare and by other professionals [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][36][37][38]. Moreover, these groups are likely to turn to alternative support networks and systems [21,22], which may facilitate or hinder their access to healthcare services and/or management of Long Covid.…”

“…Specialist post-COVID-19 clinics for support from multidisciplinary teams and individualised rehabilitation plans are accessed via primary care services [25]. Minority groups may experience additional barriers to accessing support for their symptoms, such as, lack of trust in professionals, feelings of embarrassment and fear, fatalistic beliefs (shaped by religion/culture) and alternative understandings of causes, symptoms and treatments, lower language proficiency, not presenting to healthcare for certain symptoms and not having culturally-relevant terms to describe medicalised conditions or terms [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Some people experience prolonged symptoms following an acute COVID-19 infection including fatigue, chest pain and breathlessness, headache and cognitive impairment. When symptoms persist for over 12 weeks following the initial infection, and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis, the term post-COVID-19 syndrome is used, or the patient-defined term of Long Covid. Understanding the lived experiences of Long Covid is crucial to supporting its management. However, research on patient experiences of Long Covid is currently not ethnically diverse enough. The study aim is to explore the lived experience of Long Covid, using qualitative interviews and art-based methods, among people from ethnically diverse backgrounds (in the UK), to better understand wider systems of support and healthcare support needs. Co-created artwork will be used to build on the interview findings. A purposive sampling strategy will be used to gain diverse experiences of Long Covid, sampling by demographics, geographic locations and experiences of Long Covid. Individuals (aged >18 years) from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds, who self-report Long Covid symptoms, will be invited to take part in a semi-structured interview. Interviews will be analysed thematically. A sub-sample of participants will be invited to co-create visual artwork to further explore shared narratives of Long Covid, enhance storytelling and increase understanding about the condition. A patient advisory group, representing diversity in ethnicity and experiences of Long Covid, will inform all research stages. Stakeholder workshops with healthcare professionals and persons, systems or networks important to people’s management of Long Covid, will advise on the integration of findings to inform management of Long Covid. The study will use patient narratives from people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, to raise awareness of Long Covid and help inform management of Long Covid and how wider social systems and networks may inform better healthcare service access and experiences.

“…Globally, women are living longer and healthier lives;18 thus it is important to understand women’s experiences of menopause throughout the menopausal transition phase and beyond, to identify implications for women’s health and well-being and to better inform health services. Reviews related to menopause have focused on: (i) symptoms;1 19–22 (ii) the experiences of groups of women, including Indigenous women,23 24 immigrant women,25 working women,26 women living in their country of origin,27 Asian women living in Asia compared with those living in Western countries;28 or have (iii) presented an international overview 29–31. No known studies have compiled the literature on women’s experiences of menopause from low-income countries (LIC) and middle-income countries (MIC) in the Asia Pacific region.…”

IntroductionMenopause denotes the end of a woman’s reproductive life. A woman’s experiences of menopause are shaped by her individual circumstances and may vary between social and cultural contexts. Evidence is needed to inform research and programme delivery that supports women’s health and well-being throughout the menopausal transition. This scoping review will map evidence of women’s experiences of menopause in Asia Pacific countries, where limited research exists.Methods and analysisWe will follow the five-stage framework of Arksey and O’Malley, further developed by Levac et al and the Joanna Briggs Institute. MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Scopus databases will be systematically searched between February 2022 and May 2022 using subject headings and keywords. The title–abstract and full text of retrieved studies will be assessed against eligibility criteria. The review will focus on studies with a qualitative research component. Citation searching of selected articles will supplement database searching. Data will be extracted, charted, synthesised and summarised. Findings will be presented in narrative format and implications for research and practice reported.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for this scoping review of selected studies from peer-reviewed journals. Ethical approval has been granted from relevant ethics committees for community consultation. Findings will be shared in peer-reviewed publications, presented at conferences and disseminated with communities, health workers and researchers.
