Abstract
Objective: to map instruments with evidence of validity that assess male sexual dysfunction. Method: scoping review based on the methodology of the Joanna Briggs Institute, in conjunction with the PRISMA-ScR checklist. The search will be carried out in three stages. The main data sources include: Virtual Health Library, MEDLINE via PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and PsycInfo. In addition, additional sources such as OpenGrey and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations will be used. The selection of studies will be done independently by two reviewers using the Rayyan software, and divergences will be resolved by a third reviewer. Data extraction will be conducted using a form created by the authors. This protocol will guide the scoping review to enumerate and map the results, which will be presented through a narrative discussion, tables, summaries and flowcharts. This study is ongoing, and the protocol is registered with the Open Science Framework: https://osf.io/jdh78.
