dc.description.abstractBackground Health polices in residential care settings for older adults are essential to align housing and care provision with the needs of ageing populations, ensuring safety, participation, and quality of life. Despite their importance, evidence regarding policy implementation in long-term care (LTC) facilities remains fragmented and inconsistent. Objective This protocol describes an original method for synthesizing health policy documents using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) framework for textual evidence. It aims to identify, analyze, and integrate policy evidence related to LTC facilities for older adults. Methods Following JBI methodological guidance for systematic reviews of text and opinion, this protocol employs the PICo framework to define inclusion criteria and a three-step search strategy. Searches will be conducted in MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete®, and the Virtual Health Library (BVS). Eligible documents include laws, regulations, policy frameworks, and technical guidelines addressing long-term care within publicly regulated systems. Data extraction and quality appraisal will be independently performed by two reviewers using JBI instruments. Expected Results The review will synthesize existing polices, highlighting their characteristics, implementation strategies, and outcomes. By applying a transparent and replicable JBI-based method, this protocol supports the production of high-quality evidence to inform equitable and effective governance in LTC facilities.eng
