Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs) are one policy mechanism to address the critical public health problem of gun violence. The inclusion of healthcare professionals with ERPOs is a promising approach to expanding ERPO utilization, yet early evidence has not been examined.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to synthesize the current research on healthcare professionals and ERPOs.
METHODS: Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed, Academic Search Complete, and Web of Science were searched.
METHODS: Studies examined healthcare professionals\' role and function within the context of ERPOs.
METHODS: Relevant studies were reviewed and included through consensus of the authors. Data extracted included authors, objective, design, states, healthcare professional type, mental health professional type, healthcare professional roles/involvement and key outcomes.
RESULTS: There is unfamiliarity with ERPOs among healthcare professionals. Healthcare professionals lack ERPO knowledge and are unclear about ethical and legal ERPO liability.
CONCLUSIONS: The available evidence suggests that healthcare professionals have an important role in ERPOs, but critical gaps in ERPO knowledge, training/resources, and liability will limit use and effectiveness of healthcare professionals, including nurses, in the role of ERPO petitioner.

摘要：
背景：极端风险保护令（ERPO）是解决枪支暴力这一关键公共卫生问题的一种政策机制。将医疗保健专业人员纳入ERPO是扩大ERPO利用率的一种有希望的方法，然而早期的证据还没有被检查。
目的：本研究的目的是综合当前对医疗保健专业人员和ERPO的研究。
方法：护理和相关健康文献累积指数（CINAHL），PubMed,学术搜索完成，搜索了WebofScience。
方法：研究调查了在ERPO背景下医疗保健专业人员的角色和功能。
方法：通过作者的共识对相关研究进行综述和纳入。提取的数据包括作者，目标,设计,states,医疗保健专业类型，心理健康专业类型，医疗保健专业角色/参与和关键成果。
结果：医疗保健专业人员对ERPO并不熟悉。医疗保健专业人员缺乏ERPO知识，并且不清楚道德和法律ERPO责任。
结论：现有证据表明，医疗保健专业人员在ERPO中起着重要作用，但是ERPO知识的关键差距，培训/资源，责任将限制医疗保健专业人员的使用和有效性，包括护士,ERPO请愿人的角色。
