Review Questions/Objectives The objective of this systematic review is to critically analyse the quantitative research studies and present the best available evidence related to the effectiveness of lemon solution compared with the effectiveness of potassium citrate in the management of hypocitraturic calcium kidney stones for adults. The more specific review question is: Is lemon solution as effective as potassium citrate in the management of hypocitraturic calcium kidney stones for adults? Types of participants The participants of interest include adult and elderly patients who are 18 years or above. There is no limitation with gender, ethnicity, and settings. Patients who are required to have surgical intervention or have acute symptoms such as acute pain, obstruction, bleeding, and severe infection are also included. Participants are diagnosed with the types of calcium oxalate and/or calcium phosphate kidney stones based on stone analysis and presenting total daily urinary citrate excretion of less than 320 mg or 500 mg. Other diagnostic methods for stone analysis are specified by research investigators will be included. Types of interventions The intervention of interest is lemon solution in the management of hypocitraturic calcium kidney stones. For instance, lemon solution includes commercial beverages of lemonade, and using fresh lemon juice with water only and/or sugar. Approximately 85cc of lemon juice contains 60 mEq (4.2 gm) citrate. The daily dose of lemons’ citrate is given as equal as comparator-potassium citrate. Nursing staff daily make a jug of lemon water (1,000ml - 2,000ml) and delivery to participants. The participants have to finish the jug of lemon water in 24 hours. Lemon water also can be delivered as a single serve (e.g. 250-350 ml) after 3 meals. Participants in communities or homes are trained to administrate this intervention. Types of comparator The comparator is the drug intervention of potassium citrate administered orally in the management of hypocitraturic calcium kidney stones. A typical dose of potassium citrate for adults is from 40 to 60 mEq daily. The dose of potassium citrate can be increased or decreased based on inpatient monitored changes in urinary citrate level.

Review question/ Objectives: The objective of this systematic review is to identify the factors that may increase or decrease caregiver burden of a terminally ill adult in the home setting. Review question: What are the factors affecting caregiver burden when caring for a terminally ill adult in the home setting? CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERING STUDIES FOR THIS REVIEW Types of Participants: Inclusion criteria This review will consider adult participants (above age 18) who are the primary caregivers of a terminally ill adult in the home setting. The caregiver should be an unpaid person, such as a family member or friend of the terminally ill person. Participants of the study should also be the direct caregivers themselves. The terminally ill person receiving care is not limited to any particular diagnosis, but has to be certified as being terminally ill by the case doctor. The terminally ill person may enter a healthcare institution at any point in time during the course of his/her illness, but has to be predominantly living at home. Types of interventions: There is no single intervention of interest. The systematic review will consider studies that focus on caregiving of a terminally ill adult. Types of outcome measures/anticipated outcomes: The outcome of interest would be the factors that lead to the increase or decrease in caregiver burden of the terminally ill person. This includes studies that report on the challenges faced by caregivers leading to an increase in caregiver burden, such as limited finances, limited knowledge of care, and lack of support13, 14, or factors that contribute to a decrease in burden, such as hope, and sense of coherence19. 6 Studies that report on the effects of caregiver burden and studies on the quality of life of caregivers will be excluded from the review.

Review Objective To identify the best available evidence in relation to the experiences of consumers over 65 living in community dwellings, their carers and health care professionals with assistive technology. Review Questions 1. What are the experiences of consumers over 65 living in community dwellings, their carers and health care professional with the use of assistive technologies? 2. What are the enablers/barriers to the acceptance and use of assistive technology (AT) in the community for consumers, and health professionals? Inclusion Criteria Types of Participants This review will consider qualitative research studies and textual evidence where the focus is men and/or women over the age of 65years living either alone or with others in a community dwelling (excluding residential aged care facilities or other institutions, who have any kind of physical medical condition (i.e. cardiovascular disease, diabetes), cognitive impairment (i.e. dementia) or disability (i.e. amputations, sensory impairment). This review will also consider their carers and community health professionals (including registered nurses, and /or allied health workers such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists. For this review, ‘community’ refers to people living in rural, regional, remote, suburban or urban settings. People with cancer and/or requiring palliative care are excluded due to the specific needs of this cohort. Phenomena of interest This systematic review will consider qualitative research studies and textual evidence that explore experiences in relation to the use of assistive technologies to enhance the ability of the person over 65 years with a chronic illness to remain more independently in their homes. The outcome of interest will be an ability of the older person to remain in their own home for a longer period of time with enhanced independence due to use of the assistive technologies in the home.

Review Objective This systematic review seeks to synthesize the best available evidence on theeffectiveness of Ayliffe’s six-step hand hygiene technique amongst healthcare workers. Inclusion criteria Types of participants The review will consider studies relating to Ayliffe’s six-step hand hygiene technique involving all healthcare workers, including nurses, doctors, allied health professionals and support workers. Types of intervention(s)/phenomena of interest The review will consider studies which examine the effectiveness of Ayliffe’s six-step hand hygiene technique used by healthcare workers. Types of outcomes The primary outcome for this review will be a demonstrable reduction in the microbial load of healthcare workers hands following hand hygiene, where the technique used is described. In addition, secondary outcomes, if they are reported on, will be infection rates, outbreaks, patients mortality associated with hand hygiene practice in healthcare workers and factors associated with compliance, such as time to perform technique.
