| description | Introduction Health needs are issues that face a population or specific groups, which can benefit from healthcare and wider social and environmental changes. They are inextricably linked to health inequalities, which are largely determined by non-health-related factors such as socioeconomic deprivation or belonging to ethnic minority groups. The hospital-accessing paediatric population, with higher rates of morbidity and mortality, are likely to have higher levels of met and unmet health needs related to social determinants, compared with their peers. As the gap in health inequalities widens globally, paediatric health services may now have an increasingly important role to play in identifying and acting on inequalities affecting their patient population. This scoping review aims to collate information on how children’s hospitals assess the health and wider health-related social needs of patients using a health inequalities lens. On a broader level, the review may also reveal themes about healthcare and other health needs of children accessing hospitals globally.Methods and analysis This scoping review will follow Joanna Briggs Institute guidance. A search strategy will be described to identify published articles from healthcare databases worldwide as well as healthcare-related grey literature. Literature will be examined to identify methods that aim to assess the health and related social needs of hospital-accessing paediatric patients and will exclude literature published before 2010. Two or more reviewers will independently review the results of the searches using the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Study findings will be presented in tabular form detailing the assessments identified.Ethics and dissemination The review will synthesise information on hospital approaches to understand and assess the health and health-related social needs of children and young people worldwide. The findings will be used to inform guidelines for children’s hospitals in the UK and will be disseminated through national and international professional bodies, conferences and research papers. |
