    A planetary health perspective on the translation of climate change research into public health policy and practice: A scoping review protocol
    (Public Library of Science, 2024) Mulopo, Chanelle; Abimbola, Samuel; Onkoba, Nyamongo; Schmidt, Bey-Marrie
    Background climate change (CC) emanating from anthropocentric human activities is a great threat to the quality of human life and well-being worldwide. The translation of CC research evidence can play a critical role in promoting the formulation of climate-sensitive policies to equip public health systems for CC-associated disaster preparedness, response, and management. This scoping review seeks to explore knowledge translation approaches for promoting, the uptake, and use of CC research evidence in public health policy and practice. Methods This scoping review will be conducted according to the guidelines of Arksey and O’Malley. A search strategy will be developed for published articles in PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus databases and for grey literature in the world health organization, planetary health alliance, and the University of the Western Cape repositories. Discussion the proposed scoping review will gather existing evidence on the relationship between knowledge translation, CC research, and public health decision-making. This will provide insights into research and practice gaps, and recommendations will be made to ensure effective knowledge translation for CC related decision-making.

    Defining, conceptualising and operationalising community empowerment: A scoping review protocol
    (BMJ Publishing Group, 2022) Babatunde, Gbotemi Bukola; Schmidt, Bey-Marrie; Gwelo, Netsai Bianca
    Community empowerment is a core concept in health promotion theory and practice. Several authors have defined and conceptualised the term differently. However, we did not find any synthesis of the various definitions of, and meanings attached to, community empowerment and the various conceptualisations, operationalisations, and the indicators for measuring community empowerment in the health promotion literature. The aim of this scoping review is to characterise and synthesise various definitions, conceptualisations, operationalisations and indicators for measuring community empowerment in the literature.
