Objectives
Narrative objectives1
This study aims to conduct a scoping review of the existing literature to identify and map the barriers to preschool and school re-entry among children diagnosed with childhood cancer. The review will organize these barriers according to different stakeholders such as the children themselves, their caregivers, childcare workers, school personnel, and healthcare providers to provide an overall picture of the obstacles involved. Furthermore, this review will identify research gaps and clarify future research directions. The study is expected to contribute to the accumulation of knowledge that supports the smooth reintegration of children with cancer into educational and childcare settings.

Key exclusion criteria
Studies will be excluded if they meet any of the following criteria:
1. Published before the year 2000.
2. Studies that do not include childhood cancer among the target diseases.

3. Studies that do not describe or examine any barriers (e.g., difficulties, challenges, concerns, or obstacles) related to preschool or school reentry.
4. Focused exclusively on support strategies, success stories, or intervention outcomes in childcare or school settings without describing barriers to preschool or school re-entry.
5. Did not include perspectives of children with childhood cancer, caregivers, childcare workers, school personnel, or healthcare providers.
6. Were non peer reviewed publications or did not report empirical research.
7. Published in languages other than Japanese or English.

Other related information
This scoping review aims to comprehensively identify and map the barriers to preschool and school reentry among children with childhood cancer based on the existing literature. The term barriers refers to factors reported as obstacles to re-entry from the perspectives of the children themselves, their caregivers, childcare workers, school personnel, and healthcare providers. The outcomes considered in this study are descriptions of difficulties or challenges related to re-entry; causal relationships will not be examined.
This review will be conducted in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Literature searches will be conducted using Ichushi Web (version 5), CiNii, PubMed, CINAHL, and ERIC. In addition, we will screen the reference lists of included studies and relevant review articles to identify additional eligible primary studies. To enhance the coverage of education- and school-related literature, ERIC and reference list screening were added to the protocol in November 2025. After removing duplicate records, two independent reviewers will screen the studies, and any disagreements will be resolved through discussion with a third reviewer until consensus is reached.
