Treffer: PROTOCOL: Evidence‐based frameworks used to promote self‐employment with persons with disabilities: A scoping review.

Aim: This scoping review aims to highlight literature on self‐employment evidence‐based frameworks used to promote self‐employment among persons with disabilities. This will be achieved by answering this research question, what evidence‐based self‐employment frameworks have been successfully used to promote self‐employment among persons with disabilities? Methods: To answer the research question, the steps followed will be based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA). Arksey and O'Malley's sequential stages will be used to guide the scoping review process. An experienced librarian and a second reviewer will assist with this review. A third reviewer will only be involved, when necessary, for example, to help resolve decision conflicts between reviewers one and two. Discussion: This section will discuss the data collected. In line with Tricco et al., this scoping review envisages outlining existing literature, identifying gaps and informing future research in the field of self‐employment for persons with disabilities. What evidence‐based self‐employment frameworks have been successfully used to promote self‐employment among persons with disabilities? Is a question that this scoping review seeks to answer. Thus, this research has the potential to add to knowledge and inform or stimulate further research. Key terms: Evidence‐based framework: In this research, an evidence‐based framework is a set of intervention strategies and information that is based on empirical data and previous experience to guide or facilitate self‐employment with persons with disability. These could be, for example, education and/or training programmes, guidelines, models, or processes.Self‐employment: This is the act of being self‐employed. A self‐employed person is 'an individual who is working for themselves, being directly or indirectly involved in running a successful and profitable small business or microenterprise to earn an income or generate a salary, instead of being employed by another person or an employer' (Monareng et al., 2021, p. 75).Persons with disabilities: These 'include those who have long‐term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others' (United Nations, 2007, p. 4).
