  • Carers of people recovering from hip fracture

  • Clinicians of people recovering from hip fracture

Context
  • Studies set in hospital and in the community, including residential aged care setting

Study design
  • Studies with qualitative methods

  • Studies with mixed-method designs (only the qualitative component of included studies will be analysed)

  • Surveys with open-ended component containing patient/clinician/carer experiences

  • Secondary analysis of qualitative data (e.g. a systematic review)

Outcomes/ Experiences
  • Psychosocial experiences of patients following hip fracture including factors such as:

  • Cognitive : e.g. confidence, beliefs, perceptions, goal adjustment, meanings

  • Affective : e.g. fear of reinjury, depression, anxiety, frustration, boredom

  • Behaviour : e.g. social connections (or disconnections), help-seeking, rehabilitation compliance

  • Outcomes related to community engagement such as return to pre-injury social activities, and relationships with families and carers

  • Studies exploring patients’ experiences after participating in interventions e.g. satisfaction with treatment, a service or clinician rather than the psychosocial impact of hip fracture

  • Quantitative data relating to psychosocial outcomes as measured by scales or checklists
