Abstract

Introduction: Worldwide, the life of the Black population is marked by racism and different forms of violence that have negative effects on their daily occupations, as well as impact their subjectivity, their ways of being in the world, their identity, and social relationships. Objective: The scoping review protocol aims to describe the theoretical and methodological frameworks that guide the practices of occupational therapy practitioners who provide services to Black populations. Methods: The JBI methodological framework for scoping reviews will be adopted for this scoping review. A search strategy was designed in collaboration with a health sciences librarian based on titles and abstracts of relevant articles. A 3-step search strategy consisting of an initial limited search, a full search, and a screening of the reference lists of all included articles will be undertaken. Databases such as CINAHL (EBSCOhost), MEDLINE (PubMed), PsycINFO (EBSCOhost), LILACS (BIREME/PAHO/WHO), SCIELO, Web of Science, and Scopus will be searched to identify relevant full-text articles, including original research, editorials, and opinion articles. Inclusion criteria: Peer-reviewed articles published in Portuguese and English between the years 2013 and 2024 will be included. Two reviewers will screen sources and extract data using a tool that will be modified, and revised, as necessary. The data will be presented using diagrams, tables and/or word clouds, accompanied by a narrative summary. Quantitative and qualitative analyses, through description and categorization, will accompany the mapped results, correlating them to the objective and research question of the scoping review. The approach recommended by JBI for study selection, critical evaluation, data extraction, and data synthesis will be used.
