Search Methods
The following databases were searched for relevant records on January 25
2022: Medline (via Ovid 1946 to 2022 January 24) The Cochrane Database
of Systematic Reviews (via Wiley, from Inception to Issue 1 of 12,
January 2022) and CENTRAL Register of Controlled Trials (via Wiley, from
Inception to Issue 12 of 12, December 2021); Embase (via Ovid 1947 to
2022 January 24), CINAHL (via Wiley), Web of Science (via Clarivate,
editions A&HCI, BKCI-SSH, BKCI-S, CCR-EXPANDED, ESCI, IC, CPCI-SSH,
CPCI-S, SCI-EXPANDED, and SSCI), and Global Index Medicus (indexes
WPRIM, LILACS, IMEMR, IMSEAR, AIM).
The search strategies were designed by an experienced librarian (AB),
using text words and relevant subject headings to identify reports about
medical students doing patient-professional translation in for
linguistic minorities.
The final search strategies (Appendix A ) were adapted for all
databases, with modifications to search terms and syntax as necessary.
No language or publication date limits were applied.
All records were imported into EndNote X9.3.3 for deduplication by the
librarian.27
To capture any advancements in the literature, the search strategies
were rerun in all databases on August 2nd, 2023
(Appendix B ).
