Abstract
Introduction: Compassionate Communities are neighbourhood or village level organizations that addresses the holistic concept of health, physical, psychological, spiritual and social well-being. It is estimated that out of the 40 million individuals who require palliative care each year, 78 per cent reside in low- and middle-income countries. Objective: Compassionate Communities and Cities are based on a health promotion approach to palliative care, with the goal of supporting individuals in solidarity at the end of life. This systematic review aims to analyse Compassionate Communities and Cities initiatives in low- and middle-income countries to identify transferrable lessons for implementation in the primary care context. Methods: A comprehensive, search for studies indexed in Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Scopus databases and grey literature will be conducted using an electronic search strategy. The search strategy will include terms (and synonyms) describing Compassionate Communities and Cities, palliative care and low- and middle-income countries. Article screening will be conducted in two rounds. First, a title and abstract screening will be conducted followed by a full-text screening. Article selection will be conducted by two independent reviewers. Studies or articles fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be evaluated using a data extraction form. Data on objectives, study population, study setting, study characteristics and outcomes will be independently extracted by two reviewers. The reviewers will independently assess the methodological quality of included studies. A narrative synthesis approach will be employed to summarise and explain the extracted data. Results: The systemic review will be carried out and documented in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses. Conclusions: This systematic review will summarise the evidence and provide recommendations for the development and the implementation of Compassionate Communities and Cities approach in other low resource settings.
