A Protocol of Model Applied For Family Empowerment, Scoping Review

Abstract

Family empowerment is a critical strategy in health and social care that emphasizes the capacity of families to make informed decisions, actively participate in caregiving, and improve their quality of life as well as their members. This scoping review aims to map the existing literature on models applied for family empowerment across three distinct settings: hospital, community, and community-hospital. Specifically, it seeks to identify the theoretical frameworks used, the key components of each model, and the reported outcomes on family capacity. Objective : To map and analyze the use of theoretical and conceptual models in family empowerment intervention across healthcare settings. Methods: this scoping review protocol were used accorsing to preferred reporting items for scoping review (PRISMA-P) 2020. Data extraction and screening using EndNote sofware. A comprehensive literature search was conducted on May 11 – 12 2025 no limit time. The data taken is related model/theory, family, empowerment. Result: A comprehensive search of seven databases resulted in the identification of 595 articles. From cochrain(163), ebsco (30), scopus (206), proquest (30), scienceDirect(51), web of science (115), and pubmed (0). From the abstract screening results, 71 articles were obtained that were eligible for full-text assessment. The review is expected to be completed and published by the end of 2025. Discussion: This study can be a valuable reference for future research endeavors, particularly those employing deductive methodologies. It offers guidance in selecting appropriate theories or models that can be applied to further studies.
