Methodology for Assessing University Members' Health and Well-Being and Their Influencing Factors: Protocol for a Rapid Scoping Review of Survey-Based Research.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis scoping review protocol addresses the imperative need for a comprehensive understanding of the health and well-being of university members, aligning with the global recognition of universities as pivotal in promoting holistic well-being. The lack of consensus and diverse definitions surrounding health and well-being in the academic literature necessitate a systematic approach. The scoping review protocol is designed to develop proposals for measures to improve the health and well-being of university members.
objectiveThe objective of this scoping review is to systematically map the domains, topics, and methodological characteristics of survey-based studies assessing health and well-being among university members, including students and employees.
methodsThis protocol follows the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines to outline a scoping review to map the existing literature. The review uses the SPIDER (Sample, Phenomenon of Interest, Design, Evaluation, and Research type) tool to define key elements of the research questions. Eligibility criteria include English-language publications reporting on health and well-being surveys of university members published within the past 10 years. Several electronic databases and gray literature repositories were searched.
resultsThe scoping review based on this protocol has been completed and published, and this manuscript reports the methodological framework applied during that process. It specifies the primary outputs, including a thematic domain framework, an inventory of survey instruments, and a methodological overview of survey implementation in higher education settings.
conclusionsBy providing a transparent and reproducible methodological description, this protocol supports a comprehensive understanding of health and well-being survey practices in higher education and informs the development of comparable assessment approaches for universities at national and international levels.
