Abstract: The Self- and Family Management Framework (SFMF) was created in 2006 and revised in 2015 to guide research on self- and family management of chronic conditions. There has been no review of use of the SFMF. We reviewed articles citing the SFMF to identify the frequency and nature of use. We conducted a citation analysis, searching Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases and extracted key data from identified articles. Of 126 articles, 84(66%) cited the 2006 SFMF, 37(29%) cited the 2015 SFMF, and 6(5%) cited both. The SFMF was used most to inform study design. Users noted strengths (e.g., considers family context) and limitations (e.g., non-specification of patient- family caregiver synergies) of the framework. The SFMF has been used broadly to guide research on self- and family management of chronic conditions. Findings will inform development of a third version of the SFMF.

Abstract: Gay, bisexual and queer (GBQ) men with prostate cancer have unique experiences of the prostate cancer journey. The current integrative review aimed to synthesise existing scientific literature for the purpose of identifying GBQ men's psychosocial experience of undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. We utilised the Whittemore and Knafl (Journal of Advanced Nursing, 52, 546-553) integrative review methodology and the Garrard (Health sciences literature review made easy. Jones & Bartlett Publishers) matrix method. After a systematic search, 18 quantitative and non-empirical studies were included for thematic analysis. Three themes emerged: (a) Prostate cancer, and its treatment affect sexual wellbeing, including negatively affecting their relationships and sense of self. (b) Health care is heteronormative, exemplified by clinicians dismissing GBQ men's concerns, leading GBQ men to fare worse on psychosocial outcomes, including treatment satisfaction, in comparison with heterosexual counterparts. (c) Prostate cancer affects social support. GBQ men rely on an expansive support network, but often isolate themselves during prostate cancer treatment as to not be burden others. Psychosocial supportive care needs to address GBQ men's sexual, emotional and social needs. Future psycho-oncologic trials are needed, especially on GBQ-specific peer-support interventions.

Abstract: Heart failure (HF) is a chronic disease associated with poor prognosis, poor quality of life (QOL), and high medical costs among older adults. Monitoring symptoms, interpreting symptoms, and decision making are self-care skills required for effective HF management. Telemonitoring (TM) is increasingly used to reduce incidence of symptom exacerbation leading to rehospitalization. An integrative review was performed to describe the efficacy of TM interventions that include videoconferencing (VC) on the HF outcomes of hospital service s use, self-care, and QOL. A review of 11 studies using VC combined with remote physiological monitoring demonstrated promising results in all areas except self-care. Additional research is needed to better specify the goals of VC interventions, the mechanisms by which VC interventions improve health outcomes, and the effect of VC interventions with adults of erse race and ethnicity.

Abstract: b i Background/Purpose: /i /b Although maternal-fetal surgery to treat fetal anomalies such as spina bifida continues to grow more common, potential health disparities in the field remain relatively unexamined. To address this gap, we identified maternal-fetal surgery studies with the highest level of evidence and analyzed the reporting of participant sociodemographic characteristics and representation of racial and ethnic groups. b i Methods: /i /b We conducted a systematic review of the scientific literature using biomedical databases. We selected randomized control trials (RCTs) and cohort studies with comparison groups published in English from 1990 to May 5, 2020. We included studies from across the globe that examined the efficacy of fetal surgery for twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), obstructive uropathy, congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), myelomeningocele (MMC), thoracic lesions, cardiac malformations, or sacrococcygeal teratoma. We determined the frequency of reporting of age, gravidity arity, race, ethnicity, education level, language spoken, insurance, income level, and relationship status. We identified whether sociodemographic factors were used as inclusion or exclusion criteria. We calculated the racial and ethnic group representation for studies in the USA using the participation-to-prevalence ratio (PPR). b i Results: /i /b We included 112 studies (10 RCTs, 102 cohort) published from 1990–1999 (8%), 2000–2009 (30%), and 2010–2020 (62%). Most studies were conducted in the USA (47%) or Europe (38%). The median s le size was 58. TTTS was the most common disease group (37% of studies), followed by MMC (23%), and CDH (21%). The most frequently reported sociodemographic variables were maternal age (33%) and gravidity arity (20%). Race and/or ethnicity was only reported in 12% of studies. Less than 10% of studies reported any other sociodemographic variables. Sociodemographic variables were used as exclusion criteria in 13% of studies. Among studies conducted in the USA, White persons were consistently overrepresented relative to their prevalence in the US disease populations (PPR 1.32–2.11), while Black or African-American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian, American-Indian or Alaska-Native, and Native-Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander persons were consistently underrepresented (PPR 0–0.60). b i Conclusions: /i /b Sociodemographic reporting quality in maternal-fetal surgery studies is poor and inhibits examination of potential health disparities. Participants enrolled in studies in the USA do not adequately represent the racial and ethnic ersity of the population across disease groups.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The American Association of Neuroscience Nurses established a 6-member Research Agenda Task Force in 2019 to identify neuroscience nursing research priorities to lead the field for the next 3 to 5 years. An early step in the process was a literature search to gain an understanding of the current landscape of neuroscience nursing research. METHODS: A search strategy was developed to locate relevant neuroscience nursing research. An experienced medical librarian performed a comprehensive systematic search of multiple databases. Task force members then further refined the search. A separate search was conducted to locate published research by 21 known neuroscience nurse researchers. RESULTS: An initial search located 466 qualitative articles and 1243 quantitative articles, with a further 655 articles published by known neuroscience nurse researchers. All 2364 citations were reviewed by task force members of the working in pairs to screen titles and abstracts for relevance. Nine categories of neuroscience nursing research were identified: quality of life, nursing practice, biomarkers, health promotion, professional development, technology, nursing care outcomes, assessment, and caregivers. Most of the research used descriptive methods, including both quantitative and qualitative methods of inquiry, providing a foundation for more rigorous investigation and interventional research. Research following stroke and the critical care setting were most prevalent. DISCUSSION: New and emerging trends in neuroscience nursing research include the use of technology, biomarkers, lay caregivers, strategies, and tools, including measure development for neurological assessment, and the evaluation of nursing practice including the practice environment and advanced practice nurse providers. Gaps were also evident. CONCLUSION: There is a significant need to expand neuroscience nursing in areas of emerging trends and to use rigorous methods to evaluate nursing practice effects on patient outcomes. The results of this search were used to revise the neuroscience nursing priorities last determined in 2011.

Abstract: The prevalence of diabetes and its impact on mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are well-established. Sex-specific analyses of the impact of diabetes on all-cause mortality after AMI have not been updated and comprehensively investigated. To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis that examined sex-specific short-term, mid-term and long-term all-cause mortality associated with diabetes among AMI survivors (diabetes versus non-diabetes patients in men and women separately), using up-to-date data. We systematically searched Embase and MEDLINE for studies that were published from inception to November 14, 2021. Studies were included if (1) they studied post-AMI all-cause-mortality in patients with and without diabetes, (2) sex-specific all-cause mortality at short-term (in-hospital or within 90 days after discharge), mid-term (& days and within 5 years), and/or long-term (& years) were reported. From eligible studies, we used random effects meta-analyses models to estimate pooled unadjusted and adjusted sex-specific risk ratio (RR) of all-cause mortality at short-, mid-, and long-term follow-up for adults with diabetes compared with those without diabetes. Of the 3647 unique studies identified, 20 studies met inclusion criteria. In the unadjusted analysis (Total N=673,985 women=34.2% diabetes patients=19.6%), patients with diabetes were at a higher risk for all-cause mortality at short-term (men: RR, 2.06 women: RR, 1.83) and mid-term follow-up (men: RR, 1.69 women: RR, 1.52) compared with those without diabetes in both men and women. However, when adjusted RRs were used (Total N=7,144,921 women=40.0% diabetes patients=28.4%), the associations between diabetes and all-cause mortality in both men and women were attenuated, but still significantly elevated for short-term (men: RR, 1.16 95% CI, 1.12-1.20 women: RR, 1.29 95% CI, 1.15-1.46), mid-term (men: RR, 1.39 95% CI, 1.31-1.46 women: RR, 1.38 95% CI, 1.20-1.58), and long-term mortality (men: RR, 1.58 95% CI, 1.22-2.05 women: RR, 1.76 95% CI, 1.25-2.47). In men, all-cause mortality risk associated with diabetes tended to increase with the duration of follow-up (p& .0001). Diabetes has substantial and sustained effects on post-AMI all-cause mortality at short-term, mid-term and long-term follow-up, regardless of sex. Tailoring AMI treatment based on patients’ diabetes status, duration of follow-up and sex may help narrow the gap in all-cause mortality between patients with diabetes and those without diabetes.

Abstract: The Self- and Family Management Framework (SFMF) identifies factors and outcomes of patient and family management of chronic illness. In a previous citation analysis, we reported the frequency and nature of use of the SFMF. We conducted a sub-analysis of quantitative articles in the citation analysis to examine testing of relationships depicted in the SFMF. We analyzed study purposes, independent and dependent variables, study implications, and text that referred to the SFMF in 40 articles. The SFMF has been used largely to explore factors affecting SFM behaviors, focusing on patient versus family self-management. Independent variables included all categories of facilitators/barriers specified in the SFMF. Dependent variables included all SFMF components (Facilitators/Barriers, Processes, Proximal and Distal Outcomes). Racial/ethnic ersity was limited among study participants. Study implications pertained mostly to psychosocial outcomes. Most studies referred to the SFMF generally. Findings will contribute to revision of the SFMF.

Abstract: Family caregivers play an integral role in supporting patient self-management, yet how they perform this role is unclear. We conducted a qualitative metasynthesis of family caregivers’ processes to support patient self-management of chronic, life-limiting illness and factors affecting their support. Methods included a systematic literature search, quality appraisal of articles, data abstraction, and data synthesis to produce novel themes. Thirty articles met inclusion criteria, representing 935 international family caregivers aged 18 to 89 years caring for patients with various health conditions. Three themes characterized family caregivers’ processes to support patient self-management: “Focusing on the Patient’s Illness Needs,” “Activating Resources to Support Oneself as the Family Caregiver,” and “Supporting a Patient Living with a Chronic, Life-Limiting Illness.” Factors affecting family caregivers’ support included Personal Characteristics, Health Status, Resources, Environmental Characteristics, and the Health Care System. The family caregiver role in supporting patient self-management is multidimensional, encompassing three processes of care and influenced by multiple factors.

Abstract: AbstractBackground:Developing a comprehensive, reproducible literature search is the basis for a high-quality systematic review (SR). Librarians and information professionals, as expert searchers, can improve the quality of systematic review searches, methodology, and reporting. Likewise, journal editors and authors often seek to improve the quality of published SRs and other evidence syntheses through peer review. Health sciences librarians contribute to systematic review production but little is known about their involvement in peer reviewing SR manuscripts.Methods:This survey aimed to assess how frequently librarians are asked to peer review systematic review manuscripts and to determine characteristics associated with those invited to review. The survey was distributed to a purposive s le through three health sciences information professional listservs. Results:There were 291 complete survey responses. Results indicated that 22% (n=63) of respondents had been asked by journal editors to peer review systematic review or meta-analysis manuscripts. Of the 78% (n=228) of respondents who had not already been asked, 54% (n=122) would peer review, and 41% (n=93) might peer review. Only 4% (n=9) would not review a manuscript. Respondents had peer reviewed manuscripts for 38 unique journals and believed they were asked because of their professional expertise. Of respondents who had declined to peer review (32%, n=20), the most common explanation was ‘not enough time’ (60%, n=12) followed by ‘lack of expertise’ (50%, n=10). The vast majority of respondents (95%, n=40) had ‘rejected or recommended a revision of a manuscript’ after peer review. They based their decision on the ‘search methodology’ (57%, n=36), ‘search write-up’ (46%, n=29), or ‘entire article’ (54%, n=34). Those who selected ‘other’ (37%, n=23) listed a variety of reasons for rejection, including problems or errors in the PRISMA flow diagram tables of included, excluded, and ongoing studies data extraction reporting and pooling methods. Conclusions:Despite being experts in conducting literature searches and supporting SR teams through the review process, few librarians have been asked to review SR manuscripts, or even just search strategies yet many are willing to provide this service. Editors should involve experienced librarians with peer review and we suggest some strategies to consider.

Abstract: In 2019, there were 2.5 million reported cases of chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in the USA, young people aged 15–24 made up 61% and 42% of chlamydia and gonorrhoea cases, respectively. Moreover, the highest rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) were reported among college-aged students. In this paper, we outline our protocol to systematically review the published literature on, the use of STI/HIV self-test kits, increasing STI/HIV testing uptake, and stigma, access and confidentiality issues, among young adult college students in the USA. This scoping review will be conducted and reported according to the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews. We will search electronic databases, OVID Medline, OVID Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PubMed and CINAHL, for articles published in English from inception to the present. We will search other alternative sources such as ProQuest, Google Scholar and Google to identify grey literature. A two-step process will be used to identify eligible studies based on the defined inclusion criteria. First, the title and abstract of identified articles will be screened for possible inclusion. Second, full-text articles of relevant studies will be retrieved and screened for inclusion. Both screening steps will be done by two people independently. Finally, data will be extracted by two researchers working independently. Any arising disagreements will be resolved by consensus or by a third author. This study is a scoping review of the literature. Therefore, ethics approval is not required. Our plan for the dissemination of findings includes peer-reviewed manuscripts, conferences and webinars.
