We will systematically search PubMed, Embase, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Scopus, PsycINFO (Ovid), and ScienceDirect. ProQuest Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest) and Google Scholar will be searched for grayliterature. The references of the relevant articles will be manually searched to identify additional studies. Identified studies will be independently assessed for inclusion by 2 reviewers. Independent double extraction of study characteristics and critical appraisal items will be conducted using standardized tools. Quantitative and qualitative data will be summarized in narrative and tabular format, and synthesized using a convergent integrated approach, in which quantitative data will be transformed to support the synthesis of narrative findings. Consistency will be verified by 2 reviewers, with any discrepancies resolved through discussion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
