Abstract

Introduction: Public policies are essential for palliative care development, but they vary between countries.
Objective: To present a Scoping Review Protocol to explore how and which components have been considered in the development of public policies in palliative care.
Method: A search strategy will be carried out in scientific bibliographic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO/Ovid, ScienceDirect and CINAHL/EBSCO) and grey literature databases (BASE and OpenGrey) with association of terms related to “Public policy” and “Palliative care”, without limitation of language or period. A Joanna Briggs Institute framework will be considered to define the review structure and PRISMA-ScR checklist will be applied to present the results. A librarian perform the search strategy, and two reviewers will evaluate the results. The review will consider World Health Organization’s public policy model for the development of palliative care to investigate how it is developed worldwide and what components are used in its formulation.
