abstract="INTRODUCTION: Cutaneous burns can have a catastrophic effect on people's lives and may restrict opportunities for employment due to physical impairment and  psychosocial deficits. Failure or delay in return to work can result in loss of  income and support for the family unit. It can also negatively affect life role and  identity and present difficulties with future opportunities. Current literature  indicates multiple discrete influences on return to work as a result of burn injury  but an understanding of how working-aged adults resume employment after burn injury  is lacking. This scoping review will provide a comprehensive overview of the current  literature by mapping and consolidating knowledge in this area of burn recovery and  thus provide an informative basis for developing return-to-work programmes for  survivors of burn injury. <br><br>METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This scoping review protocol will  follow the Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) methodological framework. A comprehensive  search strategy has been developed with subject expert librarians. These databases  were used: OvidSP: Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed and Cochrane Central Register  of Controlled Trials and EBSCOhost: CINAHL and Scopus. Reference lists of selected  full text will be hand searched for additional literature. To enhance consistency  and rigour, all reviewers will undertake a calibration exercise before paired  reviewers independently screen all records using Rayyan. Full-text articles meeting  the study inclusion criteria will be retrieved and examined. Extracted data will be  analysed using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and  Health. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is generally not required for  scoping reviews. <br><br>FINDINGS of this scoping review will be reported in a peer-reviewed  journal and presented at conferences.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
