Objective: This article aims to conduct a scoping review of what constitutes effective relational interactions between caregivers (CGs) and older persons (OPs) across formal residential care settings.Methods: A scoping review of publications between January 2000 and December 2021 yielded 10,929 articles, and after removing duplicates and applying exclusion criteria, 36 articles were analysed.Results: Articles were scrutinised for interactions involving both CGs and OPs, using a thematic framework analysis to identify effective relational constructs. Four themes emerged: 1) Diverse perspectives on the same context: for OPs it is home, and for CGs, workplace. 2) CGs move for a one-up position and OPs submit to a one-down, or as friends. 3) Relational qualities have been mostly associated with CGs, confirming care as a unidirectional action 4). Relationships between CGs and OPs result either in effective or ineffective care outcomes.Conclusion: The dual meanings attached to the same context limit the authentic interactions between CGs and OPs. We propose a relational caregiving approach by considering the interactions of both CGs and OPs, changing the relational definition, and demonstrating effective relational qualities.

Objective: Synthesize longitudinal research evaluating neighborhood environments and cognition to identify methodological approaches, findings, and gaps.Methods: Included studies evaluated associations between neighborhood and cognition longitudinally among adults >45 years (or mean age of 65 years) living in developed nations. We extracted data on sample characteristics, exposures, outcomes, methods, overall findings, and assessment of disparities.Results: Forty studies met our inclusion criteria. Most (65%) measured exposure only once and a majority focused on green space and/or blue space (water), neighborhood socioeconomic status, and recreation/physical activity facilities. Similarly, over half studied incident impairment, cognitive function or decline (70%), with one examining MRI (2.5%) or Alzheimer’s disease (7.5%). While most studies used repeated measures analysis to evaluate changes in the brain health outcome (51%), many studies did not account for any type of correlation within neighborhoods (35%). Less than half evaluated effect modification by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and/or sex/gender. Evidence was mixed and dependent on exposure or outcome assessed.Conclusion: Although longitudinal research evaluating neighborhood and cognitive decline has expanded, gaps remain in types of exposures, outcomes, analytic approaches, and sample diversity.

Objectives: Women's health status is better than men but the opposite is true for female smokers who usually have poorer long-health outcomes than male smokers. The objectives of this study were to thoroughly reviewed and analyzed relevant literature and to propose a hypothesis that may explain this paradox phenomenon. Methods: We conducted a search of literature from three English databases (EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar) from inception to 13 November 2023. A combination of key words and/or subject headings in English was applied, including relevant terms for cigarette smoking, sex/gender, pregnancy, and health indicators. We then performed analysis of the searched literature. Results: Based on this review/analysis of literature, we proposed a hypothesis that may explain this paradox phenomenon: female smokers have worse long-term health outcomes than male smokers because some of them smoke during pregnancy, and the adverse effects of cigarette smoking during pregnancy is much stronger than cigarette smoking during non-pregnancy periods. Conclusion: Approval of our pregnancy-amplification theory could provide additional evidence on the adverse effect on women's long-term health outcomes for cigarette smoking during pregnancy.
目标：女性的健康状况优于男性，但女性吸烟者的健康状况却恰恰相反，她们的长期健康状况通常比男性吸烟者差。本研究的目的是全面回顾和分析相关文献，并提出可能解释这一悖论现象的假设。研究方法我们检索了三个英文数据库（EMBASE、MEDLINE 和 Google Scholar）中从开始到 2023 年 11 月 13 日的文献。我们使用了英文关键词和/或主题词组合，包括吸烟、性别、怀孕和健康指标等相关术语。然后，我们对检索到的文献进行了分析。结果：根据对文献的回顾/分析，我们提出了一个可以解释这一悖论现象的假设：女性吸烟者的长期健康结果比男性吸烟者差，因为其中一些人在怀孕期间吸烟，而怀孕期间吸烟的不良影响比非怀孕期间吸烟的不良影响要大得多。结论我们的妊娠放大理论可以为孕期吸烟对女性长期健康结果的不利影响提供更多证据。

Objectives: Community Health Workers (CHWs) are important healthcare professionals and key members of team. The purpose of this research is to identify the roles and responsibilities of CHWs in developed and developing countries who provide healthcare assistance to pregnant and lactating women. Methods: For this particular study, a comparison was conducted between CHWs role in seven developed countries, seven South Asian developing countries, and India, with special emphasis on improving maternal health status. Results: CHW programs are essential in communities, institutional health programs, and outreach delivery systems. Without active community involvement, CHWs cannot reach their full potential. Developed countries have frameworks for CHWs, such as the Swasthya Shebika Program, Village Health Worker Cadret, Lady Health Worker Programme, and Accredited Social Health Activist program. CHWs are well-paid in developed nations and work with marginalized groups to spread health messages. However, up to 60% of community health workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries do not receive remuneration. Conclusion: Health systems must support CHWs in choosing technical interventions and providing necessary training, supervision, and logistical support.

Objective: We provide an in-depth understanding of how governance and decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic has been empirically characterized in the literature to identify gaps in research and highlight areas that require further inquiry.Methods: We searched peer-reviewed publications using empirical data published between Jan 1, 2020 and Jan 31, 2022 in three electronic databases to examine the process of governance and decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two authors independently screened the records and 24 publications were extracted for the review.Results: Governance is analyzed by its level at national, sub-national, community and by its aspects of process, determinants and performance. While different methodological approaches are used, governance is conceptualized in four ways 1) characteristics and elements, 2) leadership, 3) application of power and 4) models or arrangements of governance.Conclusion: For future pandemic preparedness, there is a need for more empirical research using a unified conceptual approach to governance, which integrates decision-making processes and can guide governance structures and mechanisms across different countries and contexts. We call for more inclusivity in who performs the research on governance and where.

Objective: The global burden of HIV remains a critical public health challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, home to over two-thirds of individuals living with HIV. HIV self-testing (HIVST) has emerged as a promising strategy endorsed by the World Health Organization to achieve UNAIDS targets. Despite its potential, challenges persist in linking self-testers to care post a positive result. Digital health interventions, including chatbots and mobile applications, offer innovative solutions to address this gap. However, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the collaboration and growth in the literature at the intersection of HIVST and digital interventions is lacking.Methods: The study employs a bibliometric approach, leveraging data from the Web of Science, to analyze the characteristics, citation pattern and content of 289 articles spanning 1992–2023. The analysis involves performance assessment, scientific collaboration analysis, science mapping, and content analysis. Key bibliometric indicators, such as annual growth rate, citation impact, and authorship patterns, are explored. Collaboration patterns among countries, institutions, and authors are elucidated, and thematic mapping provides insight into the key research themes.Results: The analysis reveals a dynamic and expanding field, with an annual scientific growth rate of 12.25%. Notable contributions come from diverse sources, including North America, Europe, and Africa. High-impact journals such as JMIR mHealth and uHealth play a crucial role in disseminating research findings. African authors, including Lebelonyane R, Ford N, and Lockman S, feature prominently, reflecting a positive trend in diverse authorship. Co-citation analysis highlights influential manuscripts, with systematic reviews dominating the top-cited articles. Collaboration analysis underscores strategic partnerships globally, particularly involving the United States, Australia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.Conclusion: This bibliometrics analysis provides a comprehensive overview of the digital health landscape in HIVST and linkage to care. It identifies key contributors, high-impact journals, and collaborative networks. The thematic map reveals nuanced research domains, including alcohol dependence, men’s health, outcomes, and user acceptance. The findings offer insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, guiding future directions in the evolving intersection of HIVST and digital health interventions.
目标：艾滋病毒给全球带来的负担仍然是一项严峻的公共卫生挑战，尤其是在撒哈拉以南非洲地区，那里有超过三分之二的艾滋病毒感染者。艾滋病毒自我检测（HIVST）已成为世界卫生组织为实现联合国艾滋病规划署（UNAIDS）目标而认可的一项大有可为的战略。尽管这种方法很有潜力，但在检测结果呈阳性后，如何将自我检测者与护理联系起来仍是一项挑战。包括聊天机器人和移动应用程序在内的数字健康干预为解决这一问题提供了创新解决方案。然而，目前还缺乏对 HIVST 与数字干预交叉领域文献合作与增长情况的全面文献计量分析：本研究采用文献计量学方法，利用 "科学网"（Web of Science）的数据，分析了 1992-2023 年间 289 篇文章的特点、引用模式和内容。分析涉及绩效评估、科学合作分析、科学绘图和内容分析。其中探讨了一些关键的文献计量指标，例如年增长率、引文影响力和作者模式。对国家、机构和作者之间的合作模式进行了阐释，并通过主题图谱对关键研究主题进行了深入分析：结果：分析表明，该领域充满活力，不断扩展，年科学增长率为 12.25%。显著的贡献来自不同的来源，包括北美、欧洲和非洲。JMIR mHealth 和 uHealth 等高影响力期刊在传播研究成果方面发挥了重要作用。包括 Lebelonyane R、Ford N 和 Lockman S 在内的非洲作者在其中占有突出地位，反映了作者多元化的积极趋势。联合引用分析突出了有影响力的稿件，其中系统综述占据了被引用次数最多的文章。合作分析强调了全球战略合作伙伴关系，尤其是美国、澳大利亚、南非和英国：这项文献计量学分析全面概述了艾滋病毒检测和护理联系方面的数字健康状况。它确定了主要贡献者、高影响力期刊和合作网络。主题图揭示了细微的研究领域，包括酒精依赖、男性健康、结果和用户接受度。研究结果为研究人员、政策制定者和从业人员提供了真知灼见，为 HIVST 和数字健康干预不断发展的交叉领域指引了未来的方向。

Cognitive frailty (CF) is defined as the clinical syndrome of the combination of physical frailty and cognitive impairment, without dementia. Numerous risk factors for CF have been previously identified but this scoping review focusses on the critical need for social engagement and the association with cognition. The focus of this scoping review on the opportunity for social engagement rather than on perception or experience of loneliness. Based on the results of 55 studies were synthesised into four social engagement categories, namely participation, household, network, and habitat. Social engagement is associated with maintaining or improving cognition, particularly through active participation in social roles. Habitat (i.e., rural or urban settings) also influences cognition and the challenge is to enable social participation.
