Review Questions/Objectives: The objective of this qualitative systematic review is to synthesise the best available evidence related to ‘self-care needs’ from the perspective of patients who have heart failure and that of their lay caregivers. To this end, our research questions are: 1) What is the evidence on self-care needs in heart failure from the perspective of patients who experience this condition? 2) What is the evidence on self-care needs in heart failure from the perspective of lay carers who support patients who experience this condition? 3) What is the evidence on the way in which older age is perceived by patients and lay carers to affect self-care needs in heart failure? . Inclusion Criteria: Types of Participants: For inclusion, studies should involve adults over the age of 18 years who have heart failure, irrespective of age, gender, context, treatment or severity of heart failure, in order to include the widest possible range of circumstances facing people with heart failure. Phenomena of Interest: To support consistent interpretation between the research team, we will define data or themes relevant to the phenomena of interest as being: ‘findings related to any process,phenomena or construct that pertains to meeting the self-care needs of heart failure in patients or support of self-care needs by lay caregivers.’ Context: It is well recognised that self-care needs are influenced by contextual or cultural factors such as where the patient lives and the availability of social support, as well as the type of patient education and professional support provided; evidence related to the context in which specific self care needs are expressed, and the effectiveness with which they are met, will be sought.

BACKGROUND: Intensive Insulin Therapy (IIT) as a means to achieve tight glycemic control (TGC) has become controversial in the medical intensive care unit (ICU) or mixed medical-surgical ICU. The question still remains as to the benefit of tight glycemic control in all patient populations and the optimal target blood glucose range. REVIEW QUESTIONS/OBJECTIVES: INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review included studies with patients 18 years of age and older, females and males, all types of conditions or diseases, and all stages of severity admitted to a critical care or intensive care unit that required hyperglycemia management and had not had a surgical procedure. This review included studies that evaluated the effectiveness of tight glycemic control or intensive insulin therapy as compared to conventional, moderate or liberal insulin therapy. This review considered studies that included the following outcome measures: frequency and severity of hypoglycemia, and any type of reported mortality. This review included only randomized controlled trials which met all of the inclusion criteria. SEARCH STRATEGY: A three-step search strategy was utilized find both published and unpublished studies in English language only. An initial limited search of MEDLINE and CINAHL was completed followed by analysis of the text words contained in the title and abstract, and of the index terms used to describe the article. A second search using all identified keywords and index terms was then undertaken across all included databases. Thirdly, the reference list of all identified reports and articles was searched for additional studies. METHODOLOGICAL QUALITY: The reviewers used the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Randomised Controlled Trials to assess methodological quality. DATA COLLECTION: Data was extracted using The JBI Data Extraction Form for Experimental/Observational studies. DATA SYNTHESIS: Due to the heterogeneous nature of the study methods, the findings of this systematic review are presented in a narrative summary. Meta-analysis was unable to be performed. RESULTS: The four studies in this systematic review include patients with a multitude of diagnoses and comorbidities which further complicates treatment and outcomes assessment. Until further studies prove otherwise, nonsurgical patients requiring glycemic management are best served with less intensive regimens than their surgical counterparts. CONCLUSIONS: Further research is needed to establish clear, evidence-based guidelines for the management of hyperglycemia in all ICU patient populations.Based on the results of this review and data from the four included studies, glycemic management for medical patients in the intensive care unit should differ from that of surgical patients. Blood glucoses should be kept between 110-180mg/dL in order to prevent the unwarranted effects of hypoglycemic episodes. Published studies compare outcomes for patients with dissimilar medical conditions and current protoco

Review Objective/Question(S) The objective is to synthesize the best evidence on the Registered Nurses’ perceptions of their preceptor role (‘formal’ or ‘informal’) with pre-registration nursing students during clinical placement. Pre-registration nursing students are defined as students undertaking a formal education program to become registered nurses. More specifically, the objectives are to: • Synthesize the evidence on RNs’ role perception as a preceptor/mentor/clinical buddy/clinical assessor/evaluator in supporting pre-registration student nurses during clinical placement; • Synthesize the evidence on barriers (such as lack of support, lack of time, stress, challenges) that impact on RNs’ perception of their preceptor role for pre-registration nursing students. • Synthesize the evidence on motivating factors (such as personal attributes and attitudes towards preceptorship, role satisfaction, rewards and benefits) that impact on RNs’ perception of their preceptor role for pre-registration nursing students. Criteria for considering studies for this review Types of participants Inclusion criteria for participants: - Registered Nurses who are preceptors, mentors or clinical buddies who have direct responsibility for patient care who have been or are currently supporting preregistration nursing students in the clinical setting. - Registered Nurses who are officially nominated to facilitate students during their clinical placement period over the full period. - Registered Nurses assigned to precept students on a shift-by-shift basis. Types of interventions/phenomena of interest The phenomenon of interest is the examination of the role perceptions of RNs in supporting pre-registration student nurses during clinical placement. Studies that include, but not limited to, role perceptions, and factors (barriers & facilitators) affecting RNs’ commitment and perception to preceptor role will be considered for the review. Studies that focus on student nurses’ perceptions of preceptor roles will be excluded from this review. Types of outcome measures The focus of the review is on: • Registered Nurses perception of preceptor role in supporting pre-registration nursing students during clinical placement • Motivational/facilitating factors that allow Registered Nurses to effectively support pre-registration nursing students during clinical placement. Such factors may include role satisfaction, benefits, rewards, commitment to be a preceptor. • Barriers that prevent Registered Nurses from effectively supporting pre-registration nursing TRUNCATED AT 350 WORDS

Objectives The overall aim of this review is to critically appraise, synthesise and present the best available evidence with regards to the facilitators and barriers that influence physician consultation among adult women with urinary incontinence. Questions • What is the evidence on the number of participants who consulted a physician and/or accepted medical treatment? • What is the evidence on the number of participants who did not consult a physician and/or accepted medical treatment? • What is the evidence on the factors that facilitate physician consultation among adult women with urinary incontinence? • What is the evidence on the factors that inhibit physician consultation among adult women with urinary incontinence? Inclusion criteria Types of participants In view that the official age where one is considered an adult is 18 years old in most countries, this review will consider studies that include adult women living in the community, who are aged 18 and above, and experience symptoms of urinary incontinence, specifically those aforementioned. The exclusion criteria are studies involving male participants only, and studies that include participants aged 17 years or below. Types of interventions/phenomena of interest The focus of the review is represented by the factors that facilitate and inhibit physician consultation for urinary incontinence. Types of outcome measures The outcomes of interest include, but are not confined to: • The number of participants who consulted a physician and/or accepted medical treatment. • The number of participants who did not consult a physician and/or accepted medical treatment. • Facilitating factors that influence physician consultation among adult women with urinary incontinence (including the frequency of factors). • Inhibiting factors that influence physician consultation among adult women with urinary incontinence (including the frequency of factors).
