BackgroundHospitalisation is often typically a stressful experience, but in the face of admission into hospital at a distance from home, the experience can be particularly anxiety‐provoking.Aim(s)To describe the urban hospitalisation experiences of rural patients and their relatives who have travelled and relocated for treatment and determine the scope and coverage of the literature on this issue.DesignThe review utilises a scoping review method. CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and EMBASE were searched for primary studies dated from inception to October, 2022. Thirty‐four articles were included in the review. Using an inductive narrative approach, data were extracted, collated and summarised into key themes.ResultsSix themes were identified: Rural Indigenous peoples' experience, the promise of urban quality, separation from support networks, interactions with staff, managing out‐of‐hospital responsibilities and transitioning home.ConclusionUnderpinned by isolation and unfamiliarity, hospitalisation away from one's local community entails significant psychological stress that compounds the stresses of illness that require admission into the hospital.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareFindings demonstrate the dynamic nature of the healthcare encounter, illustrating the multiplicity of the experience and how some aspects of the experience cut across others.ImpactThis scoping review conceptualises the urban hospitalisation experiences of rural people and illustrates the impact of isolation and unfamiliarity on their in‐hospital behaviours, perceptions and interactions.Reporting MethodPRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA‐ScR).Patient or Public ContributionNo Patient or Public Contribution.

农村人口的城市住院经历：范围界定回顾


背景住院通常是一种压力很大的经历，但面对离家较远的入院，这种经历可能会特别令人焦虑。目的描述农村患者及其亲属为治疗而旅行和搬迁的城市住院经历，并确定有关此问题的文献的范围和覆盖范围。设计该审查采用范围界定审查方法。检索了 CINAHL 、 MEDLINE 、 PsycINFO 和 EMBASE 从建库到 2022 年 10 月的原始研究。本综述纳入了 34 篇文章。使用归纳叙述方法，将数据提取、整理并总结为关键主题。结果确定了六个主题：农村原住民的经历、城市质量的承诺、与支持网络的分离、与工作人员的互动、管理院外责任和过渡回家。结论在孤立和不熟悉的基础上，远离当地社区的住院治疗会带来巨大的心理压力，这种压力加剧了需要入院的疾病压力。对专业和/或患者护理的影响调查结果展示了医疗保健遭遇的动态性质，说明了体验的多样性以及体验的某些方面如何与其他方面产生影响。影响本范围界定审查概念化了农村人口的城市住院经历，并说明了孤立和不熟悉对他们在医院内的行为、看法和互动的影响。报告方法PRISMA 范围审查扩展 （PRISMA-ScR）。患者或公众捐款没有患者或公众捐款。
