Authors: Yang Zhongfang , Zhu Zheng , Wen Huan , Han Shuyu , Xing Weijie , Dong Tingyue , Guo Mengdi , Hu Yan 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The aim of this review is to identify and assess the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures of health-related quality of life in people living with HIV.

Introduction:
Some reviews have been conducted to identify generic and HIV-specific health-related, quality-of-life measures in people living with HIV. However, these studies did not report the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures, making it difficult for researchers to choose one measure from the existing measures to assess health-related quality of life. This review will highlight various psychometric properties of the validation studies rather than reporting the content of measures.

Inclusion criteria:
We will consider studies that validate patient-reported outcome measures of health-related quality of life in people living with HIV and evaluate one or more measurement proprieties. Studies published in English or Chinese and conducted in any country or setting will be eligible for inclusion.

Methods:
PubMed, Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO), Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Cochrane CENTRAL (Wiley), Wanfang, and CNKI will be searched from January 1, 1996 to the present. The evaluation of measurement properties, data extraction, and data synthesis will be conducted according to JBI methodology.

Fluid biomarkers of white matter hyperintensities in cerebrovascular disease and neurodegeneration: a systematic review protocol
Authors: Anastassiadis Chloe , Vasilevskaya Anna , Gumus Melisa , Santos Alexandra , Tartaglia Maria Carmela 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The goal of this systematic review is to evaluate the association between fluid biomarkers and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in cerebrovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders. While previous research has examined the etiology of WMH in specific diseases, we propose a comprehensive framework encompassing WMH of both vascular and non-vascular origin.

Introduction:
Although WMH have been mostly described in aging populations with cerebrovascular disease, extensive lesions also occur in non-vascular diseases. Such lesions are traditionally treated as a separate pathological entity from vascular ones, but recent work has challenged the appropriateness of that framework when probing WMH etiology. Comparing biomarkers associated with WMH across various pathologies may improve our understanding of their etiology.

Inclusion criteria:
The review will focus on cerebrovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders and exclude infectious, metabolic, drug-induced, or radiation-induced white matter diseases. Original, peer-reviewed research on the relationship of WMH on magnetic resonance imaging with blood/cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers will be considered for inclusion. Postmortem studies will guide the selection of biomarkers of interest and the interpretation of our findings. Genomic markers will be excluded.

Methods:
The review will be conducted in accordance with PRISMA and JBI guidelines. English articles of interest published between 2000 and 2020 will be identified in MEDLINE and Embase. Two reviewers will perform abstract and full-text screening, standardized data extraction, and quality assessments of the selected studies. The relationship between each biomarker and WMH burden will be meta-analyzed, if possible, with subgroup or meta-regression analyses to assess differences between diseases.

Nurse-led care management models for patients with multimorbidity in hospital settings: a scoping review protocol
Authors: Gonçalves Isabel , Mendes Diana Arvelos , Caldeira Sílvia , Nunes Elisabete Maria Garcia Teles 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The aim of this scoping review is to map the nurse-led care management models for patients with multimorbidity in hospital settings.

Introduction:
The increase of chronic diseases and the associated multimorbidity create challenges for health care resources and services. Considering their role and skill set, nurses are in a position to lead the transformation of health care for patients with chronic illness. Several nurse-led care management models in the community have been identified in the literature, but little is known about these models in hospital settings. It is necessary to map the existing nurse-led care management models and describe their characteristics, differences, and similarities, and the implications for patients with multimorbidity in a hospital environment.

Inclusion criteria:
This scoping review will consider studies focusing on nurse-led care management models for adult patients with multimorbidity in hospital settings, including readmissions, discharges, and visits to emergency services.

Methods:
The search will include Web of Science, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Nursing and Allied Health Collection, and gray literature through OpenGrey. This review will be restricted to studies published in English. A three-step search strategy will be used, and the articles identified in the databases will be organized and the duplicates removed. The titles and abstracts will be analyzed by two independent reviewers. Full texts will be imported into a bibliographic reference management system. The findings will be presented in tables and descriptive summary.
Prevalence of comorbid substance use disorders with anxiety disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder in people seeking treatment for substance abuse: a systematic review protocol
Authors: Campêlo Selva Rios , Barbosa Maria Alves , Porto Celmo Celeno , Dias Danilo Rocha 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
This systematic review will aim to assess evidence of the prevalence of comorbid substance use disorders with anxiety disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder in people seeking treatment for substance use.

Introduction:
Research shows that anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder are highly prevalent in people with substance use disorders and can worsen the treatment outcomes, increasing the risk of relapse and poor adherence. However, evidence from systematic reviews on the prevalence of these comorbidities in substance use treatment settings is limited.

Inclusion criteria:
Participants will be people seeking treatment for substance use. Studies will be included if they have investigated the prevalence of the comorbid substance use disorders with anxiety disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder in treatment settings.

Methods:
Primary studies will be screened from the databases MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Embase, and from searches to source gray literature. Eligible cross-sectional and cohort studies published after 1994 with no language limits will be retrieved, and their methodological quality will be assessed. Data extraction will include study details, methods, and outcomes. Results will be described by narrative summary or, if studies are sufficiently similar, a meta-analysis will be performed. Prevalence data will be pooled for meta-analysis by a random effects model. The results will be presented graphically in a forest plot. Data heterogeneity will be statistically tested using χ2 and I
2 tests. If substantial heterogeneity is detected, sources of heterogeneity will be explored by subgroup analysis and meta-regression, and results will be presented by a narrative summary.

Authors: Beck Amy J. , Duffett-Leger Linda , Bright Katherine S. , Keys Elizabeth M. , Hayden Alix , Ward Teresa M. , Ferber Reed 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The objective of this scoping review is to map the evidence related to how consumer-targeted wearable and mobile technology is being used to measure and/or promote sleep among adolescents.

Introduction:
Sleep is a key component of physical and mental health and is required for healthy development in adolescence. Efforts to improve insufficient and poor-quality sleep among adolescents have resulted in limited and temporary enhancements in sleep habits. Since good sleep hygiene is established through the development of daily routines, wearable technology offers a potential solution by providing real-time feedback, allowing adolescents to monitor and manage their sleep habits.

Inclusion criteria:
Studies that focus on adolescents between 13 and 24 years who use mobile or wearable technology to measure and/or promote sleep health will be considered for inclusion.

Methods:
Using a scoping methodology, the authors will conduct a review of studies on the use of commercially available, wearable technology or mobile devices designed to measure and/or improve sleep among adolescents. Literature searched will include published primary studies, reviews, and dissertations from database inception to present. Databases searched will include MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, CENTRAL, SPORTDiscus, JBI Evidence Synthesis, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. The search will be conducted using identified keywords and indexed terms, and studies will be limited to the English language. Data extracted will include study population, methods, description of sleep technology reported, sleep outcomes, and strategies used to promote healthy sleep behaviors. Quality assessment of included studies will be conducted to facilitate data mapping and synthesis.
Association between neighborhood built environment and health-related fitness: a systematic review protocol
Authors: Frehlich Levi , Christie Chelsea , Ronksley Paul , Turin Tanvir C. , Doyle-Baker Patricia , McCormack Gavin 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The objective of this review is to summarize the current literature on the association between the neighborhood built environment and components of health-related fitness. The findings may be useful for policy-makers and health professionals to inform the development of health-supportive neighborhood built environments.

Introduction:
There is accumulating evidence linking neighborhood built environments to health, including physical activity and chronic health conditions, yet little is known about the potential links between the built environment and health-related fitness. Although physical activity and health-related fitness are intimately linked, health-related fitness is thought to be a more proximate and stronger correlate of health. Understanding how the built environment influences health-related fitness will allow better health-promoting urban design and population-level interventions.

Inclusion criteria:
Published and unpublished evidence will be included if it has a quantitative component and the sample includes adults aged 18 years or older, with no physical disabilities or health issues that may affect health-related fitness. The exposure of interest will be objectively measured and self-reported neighborhood built characteristics. The outcome of interest will be objectively measured and self-reported components of health-related fitness (ie, morphological, muscular, motor, and cardiorespiratory fitness).

Methods:
We will follow the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Databases used in the search will include MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, Environment Complete, and Transport Research International Documentation with no date or language restrictions. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts, and assess full-text studies against the inclusion criteria. Study quality will be assessed by two independent reviewers using the critical appraisal tools from JBI. A narrative approach will be used to synthesize the study findings; if data permit, a meta-analysis will be completed.

Authors: Bégin Diane , Morgan Ashley , Macedo Luciana , Richardson Julie , Wojkowski Sarah 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The objectives of this proposed scoping review are to systematically identify the risk-taking behaviors in community-dwelling older adults as well as the methods used to identify these behaviors. This review explores predisposing factors to fall-related, risk-taking behaviors in community-dwelling older adults.

Introduction:
Most falls occur as a result of complex interactions between fall risk factors. Research has identified the role of mobility and environmental factors in falls; however, little is known about the role of risk-taking behaviors on falls.

Inclusion criteria:
Studies that explore fall-related, risk-taking behaviors in community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years) will be included for this review. Studies will be considered if they are conducted in a research laboratory or community-based setting. Hospital settings will be considered if the study discusses risk-taking in community-based settings.

Methods:
A comprehensive literature search will be completed in Ovid AMED, Ovid Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid PsycINFO, EBSCOhost CINAHL and EBSCOhost AgeLine. Only studies published from the year 2000 onward will be considered for inclusion. Studies published in English and French will be considered for inclusion. Two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts to identify studies for full review. The full texts will then be independently reviewed by the same reviewers to assess eligibility, with a third reviewer available to resolve disagreements. A data extraction tool will be used to extract the data from the studies that meet full eligibility criteria. Data extracted from the texts will be synthesized and reported in table format accompanied by a narrative summary that will connect the results the objective of the scoping review.

Authors: Knight Alissa , Pollock Danielle , Boyle Fran , Horey Dell , Warland Jane 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The aim of the proposed scoping review is to explore and summarize the range of available evidence for bereavement care, specifically in relation to labor and birthing experiences of a stillborn baby.

Introduction:
Clinical practice guidelines for bereavement care following pregnancy loss have been developed. However, there remains a lack of evidence to guide recommendations for providing appropriate care to parents at the time of diagnosis, and during the labor and birth of a stillborn baby.

Inclusion criteria:
The proposed review will consider studies, reports, guidelines, evidence syntheses, and other relevant literature that explore the experiences, needs, and care provided to bereaved parents during labor and birth of a stillborn baby.

Methods:
The search strategy for the proposed scoping review will aim to locate both published and unpublished documents, using a three-step search strategy. An initial search will be conducted using the databases MEDLINE and CINAHL to identify relevant articles; a second search will be conducted across all included databases, incorporating identified keywords and index terms; and finally the reference lists of included studies will be screened for additional sources. Google Scholar and Web of Science will be searched for relevant gray literature. The search will restrict documents from 2000 to present to maintain clinical relevancy. Only studies published in English will be included. Results of the search will be exported into a template, where data will be categorized using five key domains (communication, recognition of parenthood, effective support, shared decision-making, and organizational response) summarized into positive, negative, or neutral outcomes, and further refined into common issues across these domains.

Authors: Violette Richard , Spinks Jean , Kelly Fiona , Wheeler Amanda 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The aim of this review is to identify and describe Indigenous health workers’ roles, functions, activities, and involvement in decision-making in the provision of primary health care for Indigenous peoples and communities in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Introduction:
The Indigenous health worker workforce is the cornerstone to providing culturally safe, primary health care for Indigenous peoples and communities. Yet, wide-ranging role variation has created a general lack of understanding of who Indigenous health workers are, what Indigenous health workers do, and how to best coordinate their roles and skills with other care providers to further improve the health care experience and outcomes for Indigenous peoples and communities.

Inclusion criteria:
This review will consider full text, peer-reviewed publications and gray literature that include Indigenous health workers who identify as belonging to, and are recognized as such by their communities, any First Peoples group in Canada (First Nations, Inuit, Métis), Australia (Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander), and New Zealand (Māori); and who describe their role as the provision of primary health care to Indigenous peoples and communities, in clinical and non-clinical settings, in both mainstream health systems and within community-controlled primary health care sectors.

Methods:
MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, Informit (Indigenous Collection, New Zealand Collection, Rural and Remote Health Database, APAIS-ATSIS, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health bibliography), Sociological Abstracts, and Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet will be searched for studies. Additional sources of unpublished literature, including government websites and community-controlled health organization websites in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, will also be searched. Articles in English and French will be included, with no set date restrictions. Screening and selection will follow JBI methodology and findings will be summarized in tabular form accompanied by narrative text.

Authors: Matarese Maria , Mauro Lucia , Notarnicola Ippolito , Cinque Alessandro , Bonacci Sara , Covelli Giuliana , Casciato Stefano 
Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT

Objective:
The objective of this review is to evaluate the experiences of health care personnel in promoting a sense of home for older adults living in residential care facilities.

Introduction:
Moving to a residential care facility represents a critical moment for older adults as it disrupts their life and distances them from significant people and objects in their life. Health care personnel working in residential care facilities can assist residents by promoting a feeling of being at home for these residents. There is a lack of qualitative evidence reporting the experiences of health care personnel with regards to promoting a sense of home for older adults living in residential care facilities.

Inclusion criteria:
This review will consider qualitative studies that explore the experiences of health care personnel in promoting a sense of home for people aged 65 years and over living in residential care facilities, including, but not limited to, nursing homes, residential care homes, retirement homes, assisted-living facilities, and skilled nursing facilities.

Methods:
The review will use a meta-aggregation approach following the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases will be searched, together with Google Scholar, OpenGrey, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global. Studies published in English, Italian, French, Portuguese, and Spanish will be included. Qualitative findings will be pooled using the JBI System for the Unified Management, Assessment and Review of Information. Methodological quality will be evaluated using the standard JBI critical appraisal checklist for qualitative research. The ConQual approach will be used to assess the confidence in the findings.

AbstractThe Cascade3 Monte Carlo event generator based on Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) parton densities is described. Hard processes which are generated in collinear factorization with LO multileg or NLO parton level generators are extended by adding transverse momenta to the initial partons according to TMD densities and applying dedicated TMD parton showers and hadronization. Processes with off-shell kinematics within $$k_{{t}}$$

-factorization, either internally implemented or from external packages via LHE files, can be processed for parton showering and hadronization. The initial state parton shower is tied to the TMD parton distribution, with all parameters fixed by the TMD distribution.
Probing thermal fluctuations through scalar test particles
Authors: Camargo G. H. S. , Lorenci V. A. De , Ferreira Junior A. L. , Ribeiro C. C. H. 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe fundamental vacuum state of quantum fields, related to Minkowski space, produces divergent fluctuations that must be suppressed in order to bring reality to the description of physical systems. As a consequence, negative vacuum expectation values of classically positive-defined quantities can appear. This has been addressed in the literature as subvacuum phenomenon. Here it is investigated how a scalar charged test particle is affected by the vacuum fluctuations of a massive scalar field in D + 1 spacetime when the background evolves from empty space to a thermal bath, and also when a perfectly reflecting boundary is included. It is shown that when the particle is brought into a thermal bath it gains an amount of energy by means of positive dispersions of its velocity components. The magnitude of this effect is dependent on the temperature and also on the field mass. However, when a reflecting wall is inserted, dispersions can be positive or negative, showing that subvacuum effect happens even in a finite temperature environment. Furthermore, a remarkable result is that temperature can even improve negative velocity fluctuations. The magnitude of the residual effects depends on the switching interval of time the system takes to evolve between two states.
