AB  - INTRODUCTION: This integrative review aims to synthesise, appraise and analyse 
      the evidence on informal carers' information needs, features and functions of 
      available mHealth applications, and informal carers' usability and engagement 
      with mHealth applications for managing behavioural and psychological symptoms of 
      dementia (BPSD). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This integrative review will include 
      quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies and follow the 'Preferred 
      Reporting for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020' guidelines. 
      Peer-reviewed articles published in English from 2000 to 2021 will be included 
      from Cochrane Library, CINHAL, Embase, MEDLINE, ProQuest and PsycINFO. Five 
      broader concept categories will be included: 'dementia', 'behavioural and 
      psychological symptoms', 'informal carers', '(information need' OR 'mHealth 
      application)'. In title and abstract review, first, the researchers will 
      independently screen 10% of sources for consensus, and one reviewer will screen 
      the rest. In full-text review, two reviewers will conduct the screening process 
      and assess the relevancy of the full-text articles using a two-point scale 
      (high-low) and the methodological quality of included articles using the Mixed 
      Methods Appraisal Tool. Narrative synthesis will be employed to synthesise 
      themes. The findings may identify the need for planning interventions for carers 
      of people with dementia concerning the management of BPSD. ETHICS AND 
      DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval not required. This review will be published in a 
      peer-review journal and be presented at national and international conferences.
