The caregiver burden is described as multifaceted, and relatives often neglect their own physical, emotional, and social needs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Inclusion criteria:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review included studies that defined or assessed the wants and needs for involvement of relatives of patients with a malignant brain tumor throughout the disease and treatment trajectory. The populations were relatives of patients with a malignant brain tumor in various settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The JBI methodology for scoping reviews was followed in accordance with a previously published a priori protocol. An extensive search was conducted in the MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and Embase (Ovid). Gray literature was searched using Grey Matters and BASE. The initial search was conducted in February 2020 and updated in March 2022. This review was limited to studies published since January 2010 in English, German, or Scandinavian languages. The data were extracted using a data extraction tool (authors, year of publication, country of origin, setting, study methods, and findings related to wants and needs for involvement) created by the authors. Textual data mapping of wants and needs for involvement were synthesized narratively using a basic qualitative content analysis. The review findings are reported as a descriptive summary, with tables and figures to support the data.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The search identified 3830 studies, of which 10 were included. The studies were conducted in 6 countries and were published between 2010 and 2018. In total, 4 studies applied a qualitative study design that used semi-structured interviews, 2 studies applied a mixed methods design that used questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, 1 study applied a multi-method design, and 3 studies used a quantitative survey. Research was conducted in a variety of settings, including community palliative care, inpatient centers, outpatient, home, and post-bereavement. The findings showed that most of the relatives\u2019 needs were related to the caregiver role. The relatives were actively involved in the patients\u2019 disease and treatment trajectories. However, relatives were often required to adopt the caregiver role and a large amount of responsibility at short notice. Thus, they expressed a need for a stronger connection with health care professionals because their needs changed as rapidly as the disease progressed. Relatives also had a need related to maintaining hope, which was essential for their involvement. Relatives\u2019 wants for involvement in the patients\u2019 disease and treatment trajectories depended on a significant and timely amount of information.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings reveal that relatives are actively involved in the patients\u2019 disease and treatment trajectories. The relatives want and need support for their involvement, which is related directly to the accessibility and availability of health care professionals, as the demands placed on them change rapidly throughout the progression of the disease. One way to address relatives\u2019 wants and needs may be to further strengthen the relationship between the relatives and health care professionals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Supplemental Digital Content:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A Danish-language version of the abstract of this review is available as Supplemental Digital Content [http:\/\/links.lww.com\/SRX\/A26].
