Challenges and facilitators for the implementation of safe and dignified burials during Ebola and Marburg virus disease outbreaks: A scoping review protcol

This scoping review aims to map and synthesize the evidence on key challenges, facilitators, and recommendations related to the implementation and community acceptance of safe and dignified burials (SDBs) during outbreaks of Ebola virus disease or Marburg virus disease. The primary question for this review is: What factors facilitate or hinder the implementation and community acceptance of SDBs during outbreaks of Ebola virus disease or Marburg virus disease? The sub-question is: What recommendations have been proposed to improve SDB practices or the strategies used to deliver SDB interventions in this context? This project will draw on sources from both academic literature and grey literature to help develop a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing safe and dignified burials.
