Penelitian yang berkualitas diawali dengan pembuatan protokol yang terperinci, jelas, dan lengkap. Namun panduan penulisan protokol penelitian yang bersifat komprehensif dan terperinci yang dapat memandu peneliti dalam menulis protokol masih terbatas. Tujuan penelitian ini mendesiminasikan berbagai protokol penelitian dari berbagai sumber yang valid dan merekomendasikan komponen dan langkah penulisan protokol penelitian berdasarkan hasil analisis dan integrasi artikel yang telah dipublikasikan. Peneliti mengaplikasikan pendekatan scoping review dengan enam tahapan utama yaitu identifikasi masalah, mengidentifikasi sumber literatur, seleksi literatur, pemetaan dan mengumpulkan literatur, menyusun dan melaporkan hasil, dan konsultasi kepada pihak kompeten. Seleksi literatur menggunakan pendekatan PRISMA dengan menganalisis lima artikel tentang protokol penelitian. Hasil analisis menunjukkan rincian komponen dan tahapan penulisan protokol berbeda-beda, namun pada intinya terdiri atas komponen berikut; tahap persiapan, tahap pelaksanaan penelitian, tahap pelaporan dan publikasi. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, peneliti merekomendasikan sistematika penulisan protokol penelitian dengan Pendekatan SETPRO sebagai hasil analisis dan integrasi tahapan penulisan protokol sebelumnya. Pendekatan SETPRO merupakan pendekatan komprehensif dalam penulisan protokol penelitian, terdiri dari 16 komponen yang mencakup semua aspek penelitian. Melalui pendekatan SETPRO ini diharapkan protokol penelitian yang dibuat akan semakin berkualitas
