Contribution Analysis (CA) is a promising theory-based evaluation approach for complex interventions, yet its application in health interventions remains largely unexplored. To bridge this gap, we conducted a scoping review to examine the extent of such applications and the methodologies, strengths, and limitations of this approach in health programming. Our comprehensive search strategy was developed and used in 15 databases to identify peer-reviewed articles from 1999 to 2023 that focused on using CA to evaluate health interventions. We then implemented rigorous double- and triple-screening processes for abstracts and full-text papers, respectively. Data were extracted and narratively summarized. Our review found seven relevant studies, which showed that CA has been employed in health promotion programs, health policies, and targeted health issues such as nutrition, cardiovascular disease, substance misuse, and suicide prevention. The studies identified strengths of using CA, including its flexible impact evaluation approach, capacity to inform decision-making, and potential to enhance understanding of health programs and policies. However, challenges such as how to determine suitable evidence levels and how to best manage resource intensity were also identified. The limited number of studies indicates that CA is still a novel approach, whereas the variation in the reporting of the studies suggests that this approach could benefit from more standardized methods and detailed stakeholder engagement strategies.
贡献分析(CA)是一种基于理论的复杂干预措施评估方法,前景广阔,但其在卫生干预措施中的应用在很大程度上仍未得到探索。为了弥补这一差距,我们进行了一次范围界定综述,以研究这种方法在卫生计划中的应用范围、方法、优势和局限性。我们制定了全面的检索策略,并在 15 个数据库中进行了检索,以确定 1999 年至 2023 年期间使用 CA 评估健康干预措施的同行评审文章。然后,我们分别对摘要和全文进行了严格的双重和三重筛选。我们提取了数据并进行了叙述性总结。我们的综述发现了 7 项相关研究,这些研究表明,CA 已被应用于健康促进计划、健康政策以及营养、心血管疾病、药物滥用和自杀预防等目标健康问题中。这些研究指出了使用 CA 的优势,包括其灵活的影响评估方法、为决策提供信息的能力以及增强对健康计划和政策的理解的潜力。然而,也发现了一些挑战,如如何确定合适的证据水平以及如何最好地管理资源强度。有限的研究数量表明,CA 仍是一种新方法,而研究报告的差异表明,这种方法可受益于更标准化的方法和详细的利益相关者参与策略。

The aim of this scoping review is to outline the existing landscape of how real patients participate in the workplace-based assessment of trainees across diverse healthcare professions. In 2019-2020, the authors searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, ERIC, and Web of Science databases for studies that included descriptions of experiences whereby patients received care from a health professional trainee and participated in workplace-based assessments of that trainee. Full-text articles published in English from 2009 to 2020 were included in the search. Of the 8770 studies screened; 77 full-text articles were included. Analysis showed that strategies for patient participation in workplace-based assessment varied widely. Aspects studied ranged from validation of an assessment tool to evaluation of the impact of an educational intervention on trainees' performance. Assessment of patient satisfaction was the most common approach to patient involvement. The majority of studies were conducted in North America and in the context of physician training. Formal patient participation in the assessment of health professional trainees appears heterogeneous across health professions. Gaps in the literature are evident; therefore, this review points to an inclusive approach to workplace-based assessment to ensure patient feedback of the trainees who care for them is represented.
本范围综述旨在概述不同医疗保健专业中真实患者如何参与对受训者进行基于工作场所的评估的现有情况。在 2019-2020 年期间,作者检索了 MEDLINE、EMBASE、CINAHL、PsycINFO、ERIC 和 Web of Science 数据库,以查找包含患者接受医疗专业受训人员护理并参与对该受训人员进行基于工作场所评估的经历描述的研究。检索包括 2009 年至 2020 年发表的英文全文文章。在筛选出的 8770 项研究中,有 77 篇全文文章被收录。分析表明,患者参与基于工作场所的评估的策略差异很大。研究内容从评估工具的验证到教育干预对学员表现影响的评估不等。评估患者满意度是最常见的患者参与方式。大多数研究都是在北美进行的,并以医生培训为背景。患者正式参与对卫生专业受训人员的评估在各卫生专业中似乎各不相同。文献中的空白是显而易见的;因此,本综述指出了一种基于工作场所的包容性评估方法,以确保护理受训者的患者反馈得到体现。

Surgical prehabilitation aims to optimise patients' physiological reserves to better withstand the stress of surgery, reduce the risk of postoperative complications, and promote a faster and optimal recovery. The purpose of this commentary is to outline the key aspects of prehabilitation before surgery for cancer which seem to impact its effectiveness and wider implementation. Particular attention is paid to the role and integration of resistance training programmes as a key component of multimodal prehabilitation for patients with cancer. We firstly analyse some of the barriers currently hindering the implementation of prehabilitation programmes in the National Health Service (United Kingdom). Later, we describe essential aspects of resistance training design, such as exercise modality and order execution, volume and intensity, rest periods between sets or exercises, and workout frequency. Furthermore, we propose a methodology to use the perception of effort to control patients' progression during a prehabilitation programme.

We aimed to calculate disability-adjusted life expectancy (DALE) for Korean older adults based on their sex, educational attainment, and residential region across their cognitive status. We included 3,854 participants (aged 65-91 years) from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging's seventh survey data. The participant's cognitive function status (normal, moderately impaired, or severely impaired) was determined based on cognitive examination and physical function independence, which was used to calculate their DALE. Females with normal cognition had higher DALE (7.60 years, Standard Deviation (SD) = 3.88) than males (6.76, SD = 3.40); however, both sexes had comparable DALE for cognitive impairment. In contrast, the DALE values increased with higher educational achievements. Regarding residential areas, the DALE value for participants with normal cognition and moderate impairment was the highest among urban dwellers, while DALE for participants with severely impaired cognitive function was highest among rural dwellers; however, there were no statistically significant differences based on residential conditions. Our findings suggest that demographic characteristics should be considered when developing health policies and treatment strategies to meet the needs of the aging population in Korea.

The primary goal of the present study is to inspect the plausible job-related (i.e., challenge stressors and role blurring) and individual factors (i.e., fatigue and insomnia) that potentially lead to work-related cognitive failures among healthcare staff. Through the judgmental sampling technique, data was collected from healthcare personnel in Iran. The results revealed that challenge stressors in the form of time pressure, job responsibility, and work overload are significantly related to role blurring. Moreover, role blurring increases fatigue and insomnia among medical staff, and both insomnia and fatigue cause workplace cognitive failure. The results also confirm the mediation effect of role blurring in the association between challenge stressors, insomnia, and fatigue. According to the results, insomnia and fatigue similarly mediate the role blurring on workplace cognitive failure association. Theoretical implications, useful suggestions for practitioners, and prospective research avenues are debated in the study.

This systematic review aimed to identify and compare instruments measuring nurses' organizational well-being, summarise the dimensions measured by these instruments, the statistical analysis performed for validity evidence and identify an instrument that comprehensively investigates nurses' organizational well-being. The JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and the PRISMA checklist were used as guidelines. The search was conducted on Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and Scopus. Critical appraisal and data extraction were drawn on the COSMIN checklist. Dimensions were conceptually synthesized by the measurement concepts' similarity. Twenty-two articles were retrieved and they included 21 instruments that measured nurses' organizational well-being. The instruments vary by dimension number (range 2-19), items (range 12-118) and concept elicitation. A plurality of methodologies has been used in instrument development and assessments of evidence for validity. Only four instruments reported a concurrent criterion validity or a measurement comparison with an already tested-for-validity instrument. Similar dimensions were leadership and support, relationships and communication, work-family balance, work demands, violence, control and autonomy, satisfaction and motivation, work environment and resources, careers, and organizational policy. This review underlines the core areas of the instruments that measure nursing organizational well-being. It allows administrators and researchers to choose the appropriate instruments for monitoring this multidimensional concept.

Pediatric Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among childhood cancer survivors (CCS) measures the impact of illness and treatment from the patient's perspective. However, parents often serve as proxies when the child cannot provide information directly. Studies of agreement between parents' proxy assessment and child's self-report have shown discrepancies. Understanding the reasons for discrepancies is under studied. Thus, this study examined the agreement of 160 parent-CCS dyads on the child's domains of HRQoL by mean difference, intra-class correlation coefficients, and Bland-Altman plots. Differences in agreement were assessed by patients' age, ethnicity, and whether or not they lived with their parents. Overall, the Physical Function Score showed good agreement between parents and CCS (ICC = 0.62), while the Social Function Score had fair agreement (ICC = 0.39). CCS were more likely to rate their Social Function Score higher than their parent. The lowest agreement for the Social Function Score was found for 18-20 years old's (ICC = .254) versus younger or older CCS, and among non-Hispanic whites (ICC = 0.301) versus Hispanics. Differences in agreement varied by patient age and ethnicity, suggesting that other factors, including emotional, familial, and cultural factors, may influence parental awareness of CCS HRQoL.

Identifying the barriers to physical activity (PA) is important for comprehensive management strategies to decrease physical inactivity. This study aimed to translate and cross-culturally adapt the Self-Perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Scale (SPBPA) into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. One-hundred fifty-two young and middle-aged adults (mean age of 33.3 ± 12.66 years) were included. Within a 5-to-15-day period after the first assessment, the participants completed the Turkish version of SPBPA (SPBPA-T) to evaluate test-retest reliability. Cronbach's alpha (α) was used to assess internal consistency. The correlation between the SPBPA-T and Physical Activity Barriers Questionnaire (PABQ) and Short Form-12 (SF-12) was determined to check the validity. The SPBPA-T had a strong internal consistency (α = .83) and test-retest reliability (ICC2,1 = .90). There was a strong correlation between PABQ and SPBPA-T (r = 0.709; p < .0001), indicating strong construct validity. The convergent validity of SPBPA-T was confirmed with the mental component of SF-12 (r = -.228; p < .0001). There was no floor or ceiling effect. The questionnaire had a 1.083 SEM value and its MDC was 3.00 points. The SPBPA-T is semantically and linguistically adequate and has strong internal validity and test-retest reliability to determine the self-perceived barriers to PA among Turkish-speaking young adults.

Hepatitis B is a condition that directly affects hundreds of millions of people, who may require testing for certain psychological constructs. This systematic review presents the current state with regard to the instruments that are used for the measurement of psychological variables in relation to hepatitis B. We conducted a comprehensive search in bibliographic databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library), and grey literature search. We identified commonly used measures, their psychometric properties and gaps in the research. Our findings from the 38 papers included in the review indicate that while several tests have been developed to cater to hepatitis B patients, most are focused on quality of life, with few targeting other needed directions, such as stigma or attitudes to vaccination. We also show the limits in current measures and discuss potential improvements.
乙型肝炎是一种直接影响数亿人的疾病,他们可能需要对某些心理结构进行测试。我们在文献数据库(PubMed、Embase、Scopus、Web of Science、PsycINFO、CINAHL 和 Cochrane 图书馆)和灰色文献检索中进行了全面搜索。我们确定了常用的测量方法、其心理测量特性和研究空白。我们从收录在综述中的 38 篇论文中得出的结论表明,虽然已经开发了几种针对乙型肝炎患者的测试,但大多数都侧重于生活质量,很少有针对其他需要的方向,如耻辱感或对疫苗接种的态度。我们还显示了当前测量的局限性,并讨论了潜在的改进措施。

The impact of multi-point nursing strategies drawing on a problem-solving clinical framework to examine adverse events associated with thyroid nodule resection was investigated. Patients (n = 98) who underwent thyroid nodule resection were divided into observation and control groups. Patients in the control group received conventional care, and patients in the observation group received a multi-point care strategy under a clinical problem-solving framework. The length of stay (p < .001), hospitalization cost (p < .001), nursing satisfaction scores (p < .001) of the observation group were longer or higher and statistically significant. The incidence of complications in the observation group (8.16%) was lower than that in the control group (22.45%). The incidence of adverse events in the observation group (2.04%) was lower than that in the control group (14.29%), and statistically significant (p < .05). The multi-point nursing strategy using a clinical problem-solving framework provided evidence that it shortened the length of stay, reduce hospitalization costs, improve psychological status, increase nursing satisfaction, and reduce complications and adverse events in patients undergoing thyroid nodule resection.
