Introduction: Psychosocial problems (PSPs) are common
issues associated with negative health outcomes. Since
general practitioners are the first point of contact for any
health-related
concern, understanding their options to
recognise patients with PSPs plays an important role as it
is essential for early intervention and can prevent serious
conditions. The objective of our scoping review is to map
published evidence on the usage of instruments to identify
patients with PSPs in general practice.
Methods and analysis: We will follow the Preferred
Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
extension for Scoping Reviews checklist and the
Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewer’s Manual on scoping
reviews. A systematic search of four electronic databases
(Medline (Ovid), Web of Science Core Collection, PsycInfo,
Cochrane Library) will be conducted for quantitative
and qualitative studies published in English, Spanish,
French and German. Main study characteristics as well as
information on identification instruments will be extracted
and visualised in structured tables to map the available
evidence. The protocol has been registered with Open
Science Framework, https://osfio/c2m6z.
Ethics and dissemination: This study does not require
ethical approval as we will not collect personal data.
Dissemination will consist of publications, presentations
and other knowledge translation activities.
