Vivências de mulheres indígenas com a avaliação da dor no contexto hospitalar: protocolo de revisão sistemática qualitativa

Abstract

It is estimated that there are approximately 476 million Indigenous people across about 90 countries, representing 6.2% of the global population. Women make up the majority, totaling around 238.4 million. However, in Brazil, studies on the assessment and treatment of pain in Indigenous women within hospital settings are still nonexistent. These populations face numerous barriers in accessing better living and health conditions, such as language obstacles, geographic isolation, and a lack of culturally competent healthcare professionals. In this context, this protocol proposes conducting a qualitative systematic review to synthesize scientific evidence on the experiences of Indigenous women in the assessment and management of pain in hospital environments. The methodological guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) were used in the development of this protocol. As a result, a qualitative systematic review protocol was created and registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF) (access link: https://osf.io/mjbku/ and DOI: 10.17605/OSF.IO/MJBKU). The use of this protocol is expected to ensure a clear, rigorous, and reproducible qualitative systematic review on pain in Indigenous women in hospital contexts.
