Delivery of compassionate mental health care in a digital technology-driven age: protocol for a scoping review

What is it about?

• This scoping review is the first known to uncover and synthesize literature related to the influence of digital technology on the delivery of compassionate care in mental health contexts • An established and evidence-based scoping review framework was used to guide the development of the methodology, including an often overlooked sixth stage (consultation), in addition to the use of the newly published PRISMA-ScR • As compassion is a difficult concept to define and measure, a possible limitation of this study is that relevant articles may have been inadvertently excluded due to search term limitations • A limitation of scoping reviews is that identified articles will not undergo a quality screening
