Humanitarian health education and training state-of-the-art: a scoping review.

In the past decade, humanitarian emergencies have been increasing, leading to an higher demand for humanitarian health professionalization. Education and training are critical for preparing these workers to provide effective care during crises. Understanding the current state-of-the-art in humanitarian health education is essential to inform research and development of future educational programs. This review surveys the peer-reviewed literature to provide insights into the current thinking in the field. A review was conducted in March 2023 and updated in May 2024 using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Education Resources Information Center databases for English-language peer-reviewed articles published since January 2013. The review followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews and adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis and presented as a narrative descriptive summary. After screening, 32 articles met the inclusion criteria. The themes of the selected articles focus on education and training frameworks, mapping, and programs. Despite the growing opportunities, most education and training programs are based in the Global North. The gaps identified include a lack of standardized curriculum or competency frameworks and evaluation frameworks to guide the development and evaluation of further standardized training programs. Interdisciplinary and collaborative partnerships, iterative design, and mixed teaching methods and modalities, including e-learning, facilitated successful training. However, logistical and technical constraints and the lack of standardized training frameworks were barriers to developing, implementing, and evaluating such training programs. This review provides an overview of the humanitarian health education trends over the last decade and identifies key areas for future educational development and research. The findings emphasize the importance of adapting interdisciplinary and collaborative partnerships and prioritizing the training of local staff through regional centers, local leadership, and accessible e-learning, including e-simulation. The review also highlights the need for continued research and evaluation of humanitarian health education and training programs with standardized metrics to evaluate training programs and identify areas for improvement. These steps will help ensure that humanitarian health professionals receive adequate training to provide effective healthcare in crisis situations.

Effectiveness of Nurses' Training in Identifying, Reporting and Handling Elderly Abuse: A Systematic Literature Review.

The elderly population globally is estimated to grow by one-third of the world’s population by the year 2050. At the same time, elder abuse and neglect have been acknowledged as major growing concerns. With the growing elderly population and increasing concerns about elder abuse, understanding the ways to deal with elder abuse is important. The healthcare professionals, especially nurses, are among the first groups who come in contact with the elderly population and can identify and assess cases of elder abuse. There is evidence to suggest that nurses lack knowledge in the assessment, identification, management, and reporting of an elder abuse case. This study aims to explore the available literature in the effectiveness of training programs for nurses in elder abuse management. The search strategy included the electronic databases CINHAL, Medline, and Health Source. A total of 646 research articles published between 2010 and 2021 were screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria. After reviewing and removing duplicates and irrelevant studies, 14 articles were included in this review. The findings of this literature review revealed that providing education and training for nurses in elder abuse can enhance their knowledge and increase identification and reporting of elder abuse cases. It also indicated that mixed teaching methods, such as face-to-face lectures, simulation, or case scenarios and debriefings or feedback can strengthen the learning process of nurses. In conclusion, educational programs for nurses can significantly improve the identification, reporting, and handling skills of elder abuse incidents. This finding can help in developing accurate strategies for minimizing and preventing elder abuse cases. From the results of this systematic review, we propose the ECLiPSE pathway for the effective training of nurses and handling of elder abuse cases, eventually contributing to decreasing the incidents.
