WOMEN EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN ETHIOPIA: A SCOPING REVIEW PROTOCOL
Study Information
Hypotheses
This protocol outlines a protocol for scoping reviews focused on adverse health conditions, healthcare utilisation, and homelessness experienced by Ethiopian women. This scoping review aims to identify relevant literature in the health and social sciences related to women experiencing homelessness in Ethiopia. Our review will explore the daily challenges homeless women face, access to healthcare, unmet needs, physical and mental health conditions, and pathway to homelessness. We will also assess the support mechanisms currently provided by governmental and non-governmental organisations. Ultimately, our findings will contribute to developing policies and future research in this area.
Research question: What is known about the adverse health conditions, healthcare utilisation, and pathway to women’s homelessness in Ethiopia?
Purpose: To improve the quality of service for homeless women and positively influence their lives, it is essential to thoroughly examine available literature regarding their health, service utilisation, reasons for homelessness, and paths to becoming homeless. This involves identifying any health difficulties and factors that could hinder their access to healthcare and any obstacles, unfulfilled needs and approaches they use to seek help.

Description
Our objective is to meticulously examine the health concerns, healthcare utilisation, and homelessness women in Ethiopia endure. Our approach entails conducting a thorough scoping review, collecting and scrutinising all pertinent literature concerning homeless Ethiopian women. Our ultimate goal is to generate a comprehensive, enlightening report encompassing all relevant information.

None
Study design
We will conduct a thorough review following the PRISMA-ScR protocol developed by Tricco et al. (2019) to ensure completeness. Our research questions have been formulated using the PCC (Population (or participants)/Concept/Context) framework. Our study will encompass both published and unpublished literature.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria
A) Observational studies have been conducted on the utilisation of health services.
B) Studies that focus on the reasons and routes to homelessness from a qualitative perspective.
C) Studies that depict the living situations of women who are homeless.
D) Research on the mental health and overall well-being of women experiencing homelessness.
E) Research on health conditions, what causes them, and their impacts.
(f) Articles focusing on knowledge, attitude, and health-seeking behaviour of homeless women
G) A publication that is in the English language.
Population
This review aims to examine the situation of homeless Ethiopian women. To define homelessness, we have identified the study’s target population as those currently living in Ethiopia and experiencing homelessness. Our definition of homelessness includes individuals who fall into the following categories:
People who are living on the streets
Individuals residing in accommodations specifically for homeless people
Women’s shelters
Night shelters
Those who are receiving support due to their homelessness
Exclusion criteria
This review will only focus on research studies and exclude commentaries, conference presentations, and book reviews. Additionally, it will not include studies relating to individuals under 15, men, refugees, internally displaced people, or those living in insecure accommodations and under threat of eviction.
The study will be conducted from June 2023 without any limitations on the publication year. No files selected

Data collection procedures
We will collaborate with librarians to create a search plan to help us find the most appropriate information. Our search will encompass several databases, including PsychInfo/Embase (Ovid), Global Health Medicus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Furthermore, we will also examine grey literature through Google Scholar. We will also check Google Scholar and ProQuest dissertations to locate pertinent grey literature. To ensure accuracy, two separate reviewers will manage data selection and extraction.

Significance of mental health legislation for successful primary care for mental health and community mental health services: A review
No full textBackground: Mental health legislation (MHL) is required to ensure a regulatory framework for mental health services and other providers of treatment and care, and to ensure that the public and people with a mental illness are afforded protection from the often-devastating consequences of mental illness.Aims: To provide an overview of evidence on the significance of MHL for successful primary care for mental health and community mental health servicesMethod: A qualitative review of the literature on the significance of MHL for successful primary care for mental health and community mental health services was conducted.Results: In many countries, especially in those who have no MHL, people do not have access to basic mental health care and treatment they require. One of the major aims of MHL is that all people with mental disorders should be provided with treatment based on the integration of mental health care services into the primary healthcare (PHC). In addition, MHL plays a crucial role in community integration of persons with mental disorders, the provision of care of high quality, the improvement of access to care at community level. Community-based mental health care further improves access to mental healthcare within the city, to have better health and mental health outcomes, and better quality of life, increase acceptability, reduce associated social stigma and human rights abuse, prevent chronicity and physical health comorbidity will likely to be detected early and managed.Conclusion: Mental health legislation plays a crucial role in community integration of persons with mental disorders, integration of mental health at primary health care, the provision of care of high quality and the improvement of access to care at community level. It is vital and essential to have MHL for every country.</jats:p

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
