“…Scoping studies offers a good alternative since they are used when a literature volume has not yet been extensively reviewed or exhibits a large, complex, or heterogeneous nature that is not amenable to a more accurate systematic review [18,19]. Other designs were not adequate to perform our review [14][15][16][17].…”

SummaryIntroduction: In a paper published by Hepler, it is mentioned that the Pharmaceutical Care constitutes a change in the paradigm of the profession, an affirmation that it is necessary to clarify since apparently, this concept is not used from the philosophy or the social sciences. Methodology: A scoping study was performed from systematics reviews of literature and meta-analysis published in MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS, which the role of the pharmacist in the different settings of health care was studied. It was not restricted by language or date of publication. Results: The selection process identifies 86 reviews published between 1998 and 2014, of which 84.9% are Systematic Review (SR). It was studied all care settings 23.3%, community 22.1%, and ambulatory setting 22.1%. According to the title, 65% referring to the role of the pharmacist, 21% with pharmaceutical care or other related terms and 14% with clinical pharmacy services. There is no uniformity in the concepts of pharmaceutical care or drugs related problems. Conclusions: It is necessary to construct the knowledge object of pharmaceutical care activities from a paradigm that allows another understanding of pharmacist interventions, construct values in the patientpharmacist relationship supported in Latin American bioethics and a methodology of research that transcends the findings of the performed studies using the designs of classical epidemiology.

“…Specifically, they are a form of knowledge synthesis that involves mapping existing literature to get a sense of the breadth and depth of a particular research area. 47,[49][50][51] Scoping reviews are typically undertaken to examine the extent, range and nature of the research activity; determine the feasibility of undertaking a full systematic review; summarise and disseminate research findings; and identify gaps in the existing literature. 49 As detailed in the introduction, our review matches the aforementioned given the intention to synthesise what is currently known about the resilience processes of adolescent girls who have experienced CSA.…”

Childhood sexual abuse is often associated with a number of deleterious psychological and behavioural outcomes for survivors. However, some research suggests that this impact is variable and that some survivors adapt positively. An ability to adapt positively to adversity, under any circumstances, has been termed resilience. Drawing on a socio-ecological understanding of resilience, the aim of this scoping review was to comprehensively map existing empirical studies on resilience processes in sexually abused adolescent girls and to summarise emerging resilience-enabling factors. We also considered the implications of the findings for practice and research. A total of 11 articles met the criteria for inclusion in the review. Findings from these studies suggest that internal factors (meaning making, optimistic future orientation, agency and mastery) and contextual factors (supportive family, social and educational environments) function interdependently to enable resilience in sexually abused adolescent girls. Practitioners should leverage these complementary and interdependent resilience-enabling mechanisms by encouraging greater involvement of girls in the planning of interventions and by assisting girls in developing meaningful narratives about their abuse experiences. Interventions should also encourage greater involvement from supportive structures, while challenging social and cultural norms that inhibit resilience. Resilience researchers should be cognisant of the paucity of research focusing on resilience processes in sexually abused adolescent girls as well as the absence of innovative, participatory methods of data collection. Significance:•The review adds to a body of literature on resilience processes with implications for resilience researchers.• The findings have implications for a range of practitioners (psychologists, social workers, teachers etc.) who work with sexually abused girls.

“…The scoping review 1 3 involves a systematic procedure: registration of a protocol, defining of inclusion/exclusion criteria, a systematic search on databases, and selection and coding records by two independent reviewers. Specifically, the current study used the guidelines initially proposed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005), which were later clarified and enhanced by further studies (e.g., Levac et al 2010;Daudt et al 2013;Colquhoun et al 2014;Peters et al 2015). The authors worked on this study's protocol during the fall of 2015 and its registration was finalized on December 7, 2015.…”

“…Its strength is its adaptability to different topics and highly systematic procedure. Even if the scoping methodology originated in clinical research to map knowledge related to interventions, it was successively adopted to map other phenomena of interest, such as research designs, frameworks, theories, or classifications (Peters et al 2015). The scoping review 1 3 involves a systematic procedure: registration of a protocol, defining of inclusion/exclusion criteria, a systematic search on databases, and selection and coding records by two independent reviewers.…”
