There is evidence that caregivers are at greater risk for experiencing deteriorations in cognitive status than non-caregivers, especially memory; however, we have a limited understanding of factors that are related to changes in caregiver memory. This scoping review intends to comprehensively map factors related to caregiver memory reported in the literature within the chronic caregiving context. Specific aims include (1) identifying factors related to caregiver memory; (2) examining how caregiver memory has been measured; and (3) describing changes in caregiver memory during their caregiving period. This review will be conducted following Arksey and O\u2019Malley\u2019s framework and reported using the PRISMA guidelines for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Studies will be included if (1) the studies focus on home-based unpaid long term family caregiving; (2) study participants (patients), of any age, have one (or more) chronic illness or disability and receive care from a caregiver for 6 months or more; (3) caregivers are adults (&gt; = 18 years of age). Any chronic disease or condition will be included. The search will encompass gray literature and peer-reviewed literature in MEDLINE (via Ovid), CINAHL Plus with Full Text (via EBSCOhost), Embase (via Elsevier), APA PsycINFO (via EBSCOhost), Sociology Source Ultimate (via EBSCOhost), and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. Data extraction will include specific details about the participants, concept, context, study methods, and key caregiver-related findings. The Caregiver Health Model will provide a framework to categorize factors that impact caregivers\u2019 memory including caregiver health promotion activities, caregiver attitudes and beliefs, caregiver task, and caregiver needs. Factors that do not fall into the Caregiver Health Model domains will be organized by emerging themes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0295449","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,26]],"date-time":"2024-01-26T18:30:27Z","timestamp":1706293827000},"page":"e0295449","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Factors associated with memory of informal caregivers: A scoping review protocol"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1474-192X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dingyue","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sharron","family":"Rushton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5206-8002","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Leila","family":"Ledbetter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Margaret","family":"Graton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kimberly","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cristina C.","family":"Hendrix","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,26]]},"reference":[{"issue":"17\u201318","key":"pone.0295449.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3201","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.15394","article-title":"Factors associated with caregiving appraisal of informal caregivers: A systematic review.","volume":"29","author":"S Wang","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Clin Nurs"},{"key":"pone.0295449.ref002","article-title":"Family caregiving as a global and lifespan public health issue","author":"WE Haley","year":"2023","journal-title":"Lancet Public Health"},{"issue":"Supplement_1","key":"pone.0295449.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"681","DOI":"10.1093\/geroni\/igaa057.2371","article-title":"Caregiving in the US 2020: What does the latest edition of this survey tell US about their contributions and needs?","volume":"4","author":"G Prudencio","year":"2020","journal-title":"Innov Aging."},{"key":"pone.0295449.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"635","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-psych-010419-050754","article-title":"Family caregiving for older adults.","volume":"71","author":"R Schulz","year":"2020","journal-title":"Annu Rev Psychol"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0295449.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnu177","article-title":"Informal caregiving and its impact on health: A reappraisal from population-based studies.","volume":"55","author":"DL Roth","year":"2015","journal-title":"Gerontologist."},{"key":"pone.0295449.ref006","volume-title":"Families caring for an aging America.","author":"Committee on Family Caregiving for Older Adults, Board on Health Care Services, Health and Medicine Division","year":"2016"},{"issue":"12","key":"pone.0295449.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e2139765","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2021.39765","article-title":"Exploration of cognitive outcomes and risk factors for cognitive decline shared by couples","volume":"4","author":"HW Yang","year":"2021","journal-title":"JAMA Netw Open"},{"issue":"5","key":"pone.0295449.ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"895","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1532-5415.2010.02806.x","article-title":"Greater risk of dementia when spouse has dementia?
