| Abstrakt: | Background/Aims: Although there are many researchers reviewing the existing evidence related to traumatic brain injury from speech-language pathologists' perspectives, there have been no attempts to review the existing research evidence in Standard Chinese to the best of the authors' knowledge. The purpose of this scoping review was to identify and synthesise the existing research evidence available in China for therapy related to individuals with traumatic brain injury within the speech-language pathologists' scope of practice. Methods: This scoping review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. The literature search was conducted using databases that included articles in the Standard Chinese language. In collaboration with three therapists working in China, the data was extracted and translated into English. Results: Eight research articles met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this review. Six studies were randomised control trials, and two studies were cohort studies. These eight studies focused on collaboration, counselling and treatment. All studies addressed cognition and two also addressed language. Conclusions: Evidence showed that treatment focusing on cognitive and language skills provided by speech-language pathologists can improve the lives of people with a traumatic brain injury living in China. More research is warranted to better understand traumatic brain injury and treatment efficacy in China. Implications for practice: Clinicians, especially those who work with individuals who affiliate themselves with the Chinese culture, can consider the current research evidence discussed in this article when working with clients with traumatic brain injury. Additionally, for researchers, future research efforts can prioritise addressing the identified gaps outlined in this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
