Objective: The objective of this review is to explore the experiences of mothers with the practice of kangaroo mother care (KMC) for preterm neonates at home in sub-Saharan Africa.

Introduction: About 7000 newborn babies die every day around the world. About 80% of these deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. Preterm birth and low birth weight (LBW) are major causes of newborn deaths in these regions. Kangaroo mother care is an alternative way to care for LBW preterm neonates; however, the rate of practice remains low. Studies have identified a range of barriers, primarily at the healthcare system level, but there is a dearth of evidence on the factors and enablers at the community level.

Inclusion criteria: The review will consider studies conducted in sub-Saharan Africa on the perceptions and experiences of mothers who have given birth to preterm babies and have practiced KMC at home. Qualitative studies in English and French conducted from January 1979 to the present that exclusively use qualitative research methods including, but not limited to, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, action research and feminist research will be included.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, African Index Medicus (AIM), Academic Search Complete, CINAHL complete, Education Source and Health source: Nursing/Academic Edition will be searched. Eligible studies will be critically appraised using the standardized Joanna Briggs Institute tool. Findings will be pooled using the meta-aggregative approach, and confidence will be assessed according to the ConQual approach.

Objective: The objective of this review is to determine if electronic health (eHealth) educational interventions for infant procedural pain and pain management impact parental outcomes (mental health outcomes, knowledge utilization outcomes, and parental involvement in care outcomes) and infant outcomes (morbidity outcomes, pain outcomes, health system outcomes).

Introduction: Pain in infants is a common concern for parents. Routine postpartum care for infants in early life requires them to endure painful procedures, yet infants often receive little to no pain management. While research has shown that parents can reduce their infant's pain during procedures by breastfeeding or skin-to-skin contact, parents may not be aware of their role in pain management. Despite the recent rapid increase in eHealth resources to educate parents about infant pain management, their impact has yet to be evaluated.

Inclusion criteria: This review will consider studies that include eHealth educational interventions targeted at parents during pregnancy and up to one year postpartum. All experimental study designs will be included. Primary outcomes will include: parental stress and anxiety, self-efficacy, knowledge, attitudes, eHealth intervention usage, acceptance of eHealth intervention, involvement in pain management, and infant pain response.

Methods: PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO will be searched for studies published in English. Critical appraisal and data extraction will be conducted by two independent reviewers using standardized tools. Quantitative data, where possible, will be pooled in statistical meta-analysis, or if statistical pooling is not possible, the findings will be reported narratively.

Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) within three hours of birth in mothers with a diagnosis of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).

Introduction: Postpartum hemorrhage, that is, blood loss exceeding 500 mL for vaginal births or 1000 mL for cesarean sections within 24 hours of delivery, is the leading cause of maternal deaths worldwide. The World Health Organization recommends intravenous TXA as an adjuvant therapy for the treatment of PPH, in addition to standard recommended treatments, within three hours of birth. This review will determine whether TXA administration to patients experiencing PPH leads to a reduction in blood loss, the requirement for transfusion of packed red blood cells and the need for emergency hysterectomies, in both developed and developing nations.

Inclusion criteria: This review will consider studies that include women under 40 with a diagnosis of postpartum hemorrhage. Studies that evaluate intravenous administration of TXA within three hours of birth as adjuvant treatment of postpartum hemorrhage will be considered. The comparator will be groups that have not received TXA as part of the treatment for postpartum hemorrhage, with or without placebo.

Methods: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science and ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health will be searched for eligible studies. The search for unpublished studies will include: ProQuest Dissertations and Theses (PQDT), ClinicalTrials.gov and New York Academy of Medicine Grey Literature Report. Retrieval of full-text studies, assessment of methodological quality and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers. Meta-analysis will be performed, if possible.

Objective: The object of this systematic review is to determine the effectiveness of computerized insulin titration protocols compared to manual insulin titration protocols for glycemic control in hospitalized adult patients.

Introduction: Hyperglycemia is common during acute illness, and current recommendations for patients with altered glucose metabolism is the use of intravenous insulin therapy. Due to the narrow therapeutic index of insulin, euglycemia is difficult to achieve and requires frequent dose titrations and blood glucose checks. Dose titrations can be accomplished through the use of manual or computerized insulin titration protocols.

Inclusion criteria: This review will consider studies that compare manual and computerized insulin titration protocols for hospitalized adult patients requiring intravenous insulin therapy for hyperglycemia. Studies must have considered one or more glycemic control outcomes.

Methods: This systematic review will use the JBI methodology for evidence of effectiveness. The search will be limited to studies published in English from 1984, as this was the approximate year that the first pilot study of a computerized titration protocol was implemented. The databases to be searched include: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, PubMed, Embase, Health Technology Assessments and Ovid Healthstar. The trial registers to be searched include: US National Library of Medicine (ClinicalTrials.gov). The search for unpublished studies will include ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, and MedNar. Retrieval of full-text studies, assessment of methodological quality and data extraction will be performed independently by two reviewers. Meta-analysis will be performed if possible, and a Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Summary of Findings presented.

Objective: The objective of this review is to identify and synthesize the best available evidence on the experiences of adults participating in infertility support groups to understand the value of support groups for this population.

Introduction: Infertility can impact a person physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially. Infertility support groups may represent a beneficial tool that these adults can utilize to improve their quality of life. The findings may inform or promote more effective and appropriate health care and, based on the results, a change in the standard of care for the treatment of infertility.

Inclusion criteria: This review will consider studies that include infertile women, men and couples of any age, race or marital status, in any geographic region and with any co-morbidity who participate in infertility support groups. Studies published in English that focus on qualitative data, without any restriction of year of publication, will be considered. This review will consider studies that utilize any media of material for infertility support groups.

Methods: The key information sources to be searched are: CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Scopus, MedNar and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. A three-step search strategy will be undertaken to find both published and unpublished studies and will include searching of reference lists within articles selected for critical appraisal. Each of the included studies will be assessed for methodological quality independently by two reviewers, and findings will be extracted and synthesized.

Objective: The purpose of this review is to synthesize the existing qualitative literature examining the experiences of transgender men seeking gynecological and reproductive health in all healthcare settings globally.

Introduction: Existing literature clearly identifies that fear of mistreatment and discrimination is an ongoing concern among the transgender community. Transgender men face challenges and barriers when seeking health care. When female reproductive organs and genitalia are retained, transgender men will need to access reproductive and gynecological health care and screening examinations. Synthesis of the literature examining those experiences is the focus of this review.

Inclusion criteria: This review will consider all qualitative studies that include natal females who identify as transgender, genderqueer, non-binary or gender expressive and their experiences when seeking and receiving care related to gynecological or reproductive care. All studies on this type of care in any setting will be included.

Methods: CINAHL Complete and PubMed will be searched and eligible studies published in English after 1979 will be included. Titles and abstracts will be screened by two independent reviewers for assessment against the inclusion criteria. The full text of articles will be assessed for inclusion and all potential articles will then be appraised for methodological quality using standardized critical appraisal tools. Data will be extracted by two independent reviewers. Findings will be pooled with a meta-aggregation approach to categorize findings. These synthesized findings will be graded to establish confidence in the output.

Objective: This scoping review aims to map the different working definitions currently being used for the duration of acute, subacute and chronic low back pain (LBP), and to establish where these definitions originated and the rationale provided for the timeframes used.

Introduction: Low back pain is a major social and economic problem worldwide. One of the most commonly used approaches to classify and manage patients with LBP is the traditional duration-based classification (acute, subacute and chronic). There are significant differences between studies in the timeframes used for what constitutes acute, subacute and chronic LBP. These discrepancies lead to heterogeneity in study results, making it difficult to compare or summarize findings.

Inclusion criteria: Studies that include participants with non-specific LBP, regardless of sex, will be considered. Studies that include children or participants with specific causes of LBP will be excluded.

Methods: The following electronic databases will be searched: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL and PsycINFO. All types of studies will be included, provided they give a rationale for the definition of duration that they use. Studies will be limited to those published in English. Two independent reviewers will screen the retrieved articles against the eligibility criteria for the scoping review. A narrative synthesis will describe the definitions used in the study and the rationale given for the timeframes reported. This scoping review will give an insight into the background of the variation of timeframes used for duration-based classification of LBP.
