摘要
Objective: This review will explore how point-of-care tests for sexually transmitted infections have been implemented into health care systems in low- and middle-income countries, and the facilitators and barriers to implementation. Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections contribute to significant global morbidity. In low- and middle-income countries, syndromic management of sexually transmitted infections is recommended. However, due to the limitations of syndromic management, there is increasing interest in the potential for point-of-care tests to be incorporated into models of care for sexually transmitted infections in low-resource settings. It is therefore important to explore how point-of-care tests for sexually transmitted infections have been used in these settings previously, and the facilitators and barriers to implementation on a wider scale. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider studies that explore the use of point-of-care-testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, or syphilis, and how they are implemented into models of care in low- and middle-income countries. Study participants may be those receiving sexually transmitted infection testing or health care professionals providing testing. HIV testing will not be covered. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods study designs, as well as review papers will be considered for inclusion. Methods: The proposed scoping review will be conducted in accordance with JBI methodology for scoping reviews. The authors will search databases including MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, CINAHL, Scopus, LILACS, African Index Medicus, and the Cochrane library from 1998 onwards. Results will be screened by two independent reviewers and data extracted using a data extraction tool developed by the reviewers. Data will be presented both narratively and in tabular form.
