Overview

Scoping review identifies methodological trends in psychosocial interventions for dementia, suggesting improvements for research application.

Key Points

  • This scoping review aims to identify trends and gaps in the methodologies used for psychosocial interventions for dementia and to evaluate the application of the MRC framework.
  • Search six databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library) for studies from 2015 to 2025.
  • Double screen up to 40% of title/abstracts by independent reviewers, using ASReview for ranking relevance.
  • Conduct data extraction on study objectives and methodologies in line with the MRC framework.
  • The review will highlight current methodological practices in psychosocial interventions for dementia.
  • It will identify whether the MRC six core elements are implemented in the existing research and how.
  • Findings will guide the development of future research strategies within dementia care.
