| Annotation | The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) aims to improve the experience of service users and practitioners, by developing and promoting good practice in the social care sector by commissioning and disseminating knowledge-based practice guidance. This article focuses on SCIE's development of the role of systematic mapping on social care in the UK. It describes the processes of mapping with an introduction to the role of systematic mapping in delivering an evidence base for social care. Specifically, systematic maps gather together literature in a specific topic area and categorise it according to predefined keywords to produce a coded database of literature. This article identifies some of the issues experienced and lessons learned from piloting systematic mapping in two separate social care topics at SCIE, one of which examines the recovery approach in day services in adult mental healthcare. A third map question on depression in older people from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities is being developed. (RH). |
