In Chinese culture, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism shape people's perceptions of well\u2010being, health, and quality of life. These perceptions include some unique dimensions such as emotion control, weather adaptation, social adaptation, spirit, and complexion. Understanding these culturally embedded perspectives is essential for developing valid HRQoL measures, guiding patient\u2010centred care, and informing health policy. The aim of this protocol is to outline the process for a scoping review that will synthesise evidence on how quality of life and health\u2010related quality of life are understood among people from Chinese backgrounds.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Studies published in English from database inception to 2 December 2025 will be searched in databases including Ovid Medline, Ovid Emcare, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL EBSCO, and Scopus. Qualitative or mixed\u2010methods studies with distinct qualitative components that report understandings of health\u2010related quality of life among adults from Chinese backgrounds will be included. The quality of included studies will be appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. A theory\u2010informed approach will be applied to data synthesis. Findings will be presented descriptively through tables and themes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings of this scoping review will highlight variations within this cultural context, which may inform future efforts to enhance the cultural relevance of health\u2010related quality of life frameworks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this protocol, we outline a transparent review process for a scoping review that will synthesise existing evidence on how quality of life and health\u2010related quality of life are perceived among people from Chinese backgrounds.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Protocol Registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This scoping review protocol has been deposited in the Open Science Framework and can be accessed at\n                      <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17605\/OSF.IO\/GFC2P\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17605\/OSF.IO\/GFC2P<\/jats:ext-link>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.73322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]],"date-time":"2026-09-30T04:42:02Z","timestamp":1790743322000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Health\u2010Related Quality of Life in The Chinese Cultural Context: A Scoping Review Protocol"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5605-0926","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shiwen","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Nursing and Midwifery Monash University Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5363-729X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helen","family":"Rawson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Nursing and Midwifery Monash University Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6615-6874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victoria","family":"Team","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Monash Nursing and Midwifery Monash University Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40273-016-0389-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12963-016-0091-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chest.2020.03.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4081\/hpr.2013.e27"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.18203\/2394-6040.ijcmph20232869"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","volume-title":"Quality of Life.
