Current reviews refer to functional approaches rather than categorising QoL\u2010enhancing therapies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This paper aims to provide an overview of the approaches provided by SLTs to enhance QoL in people with PPA, taking into account influencing factors and various measurement instruments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Given the lack of concepts and inconsistent measurement instruments in the area of QoL\u2010enhancing therapies, the methodology of a scoping review was selected. Studies were identified through a broad database search in five databases (Medline, ScienceDirect, Speechbite, Psyndex and Cochrane). The research was further conducted using Google Scholar and handsearching of reference lists. The 244 studies identified were subjected to a duplicate check as well as a title, abstract and full\u2010text screening. The inclusion criteria were the presence of at least one person with PPA in the study sample, the described implementation of an intervention by at least one SLT, and QoL as a defined and measured outcome criterion. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was used to assess the quality of the studies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies showed evidence of an improved or stable QoL of the participants over the period of the respective interventions. Of the included studies, seven interventions took place in individual settings, three in group settings, and one in a dyadic constellation. In one study a combination of individual and group settings was used. The therapeutic approaches mainly aimed at more than one level of the Framework for Outcome Measurement. Most frequently covered were activities and participation (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 9) and body function and body structure level (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 7). The assessments used varied widely. The American Speech\u2010Language\u2010Hearing Association Quality of Communication Life Scale was used most frequently (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 3). Other assessments included the Aphasia Impact Questionnaire\u201021 or the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale\u201039, as well as interviews or self\u2010administered rating scales. The quality of the studies was heterogeneous and ranged from 2 to 5 out of a maximum of 5 according to MMAT criteria.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The included studies demonstrate the potential of speech and language therapy to improve QoL in people with PPA and provide insights into influencing factors (e.g., treatment dose or setting of therapy). There is a need for high\u2010quality controlled trials of QoL\u2010enhancing interventions and for standardised QoL assessments tailored to the needs of people with PPA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>What is already known on this subject?<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>We know that speech and language therapy is valued by people with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and has potential effects on their quality of life (QoL).<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>What this paper adds to existing knowledge?<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>This scoping review provides an overview of the approaches provided by speech and language therapists, considering influencing factors and measurement instruments.<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work?<\/jats:italic>\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Our research indicates a need for high\u2010quality controlled trials of QoL\u2010enhancing interventions.
