The main objective of this systematic review is to synthesise the evidence on strengths-based interventions for patients with chronic diseases and/or caregivers.Methods and analysis Seven databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO and SCOPUS, will be searched. The literature screening and data extraction will be conducted independently by two researchers. A third researcher will be involved when a consensus is needed. The quality and risk of bias in the included studies will be assessed by using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. The systematic review protocol will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol checklists.Ethics and dissemination Ethics approval is not required. The findings of the systematic review will be disseminated in a conference and a peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration number CRD42024570495.
