Résumé:
Objective This manuscript presents the method which will be used for a scoping review aiming to review the learning theories that have been applied in digital education related to wound care. The proposed review with examine the reported outcomes; the use of technology and identify the challenges and barriers associated with implementing digital learning regarding wound care education for healthcare providers. Introduction The rising prevalence of wounds results in a necessity for proficient wound care management by healthcare providers. Digital education has potential in knowledge and skill acquisition, accessibility, and scalability. However, regarding wound care education no existing review provides an overview of the learning theories used with digital education or their associated outcomes. Inclusion criteria This scoping review will consider studies that describe the use of digital education in wound care in all contexts intended for health professionals. The review encompasses quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods study designs, as well as systematic reviews, text and opinion papers, and conference proceedings. Methods Following the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a comprehensive search strategy will be implemented across MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, ERIC, considering both published and unpublished sources. Articles published in English, French, Italian or German, will be included. Screening and data extraction will be performed using Covidence, and the findings will be presented in a table with a narrative summary. The review aims to identify learning theories, outcomes, and challenges associated with digital education in wound care for healthcare professionals. Existing reviews lack a focus on wound care, learning theories, and implementation strategies, highlighting the need for this scoping review. Using JBI and PRISMA-ScR methodologies, the review will map evidence from diverse study designs and contexts to inform future digital education initiatives in wound care.
