Scoping review examines support needs of East Asian migrant family carers, highlighting gaps in healthcare services.
Purpose This paper aims to examine the characteristics, key concepts and themes surrounding the support needs of East Asian Migrant family carers in a host country. Design/methodology/approach A systematic scoping review was conducted across five databases: CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, MEDLINE and Web of Science, between 2012 and 2023, adhering to the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR reporting frameworks. Findings In all, 26 primary studies met the inclusion criteria. Through analysis, three major themes emerged: culturally sensitive needs, education and training needs, and social support needs. These findings highlight significant gaps in the availability and accessibility of culturally and linguistically appropriate health-care services. Originality/value This study addresses a critical gap in migration and caregiving research by focusing on the support needs of East Asian migrant family carers. The findings provided valuable evidence to inform culturally responsive health and social care policies, services, and future research.
