description: Objectives: To analyze the practices of self-performance of care tasks in acute hospital settings, as well as their barriers and facilitators. Introduction: Increase in chronic illness and co-morbidity has resulted in a shift of chronic care responsibility and self-care initiatives to the patient (Reynolds et al., 2018). Patient self-care is established as improving patient outcomes (e.g., Panagioti et al., 2014; Jonkman et al., 2016; Jonkman et al., 2016), yet, acute care in hospitals is commonly provided in a way that patients tend to be passive recipients of care. This involves adhering to healthcare providers’ instructions (Tobiano et al., 2015) and relinquishing independence, and potentially results in a disruption in the continuity of patient performance of self-care tasks. Inclusion criteria: Studies that explore performing care tasks by adult patients during acute hospitalization have been included. Systematic reviews, qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods studies, case studies, and observational studies were considered. Methods: A scoping review utilizing the JBI methodology for scoping reviews (Peters et al., 2020). Several electronic databases will be searched for literature published in English using keywords and indexed terms relating to both concepts: performing care oneself (including self-care, self-management, patient participation) and hospital-setting for adult patients (excluding rehabilitation and psychiatric care). Hand searching for citation tracking will be performed for articles deemed relevant. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria will be imported into the Covidence systematic review manager. Titles and abstracts will be screened for inclusion and identified full texts reviewed. Data will be extracted using a template designed specifically for this review. Extracted data will be presented in a descriptive format, including characteristics of included studies and relevant key findings, and classified by the type of task performed by the patient.
