The Impact of Family Medicine Interest Groups and Student-Run Free Clinics on Primary Care Career Choice: A Narrative Synthesis

Student-directed activities such as family medicine interest groups (FMIG) and student-run free clinics (SRFC) have been examined to discover their impact on entry into family medicine and primary care. The objective of this review was to synthesize study results to better incorporate and optimize these activities to support family medicine and primary care choice. We conducted a comprehensive literature search using PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL to identify all English-language research articles on FMIG and SRFC. We examined how participation relates to entry into family medicine and primary care specialties. Exclusion criteria were nonresearch articles, review articles, and research conducted outside the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. We used a 16-point quality rubric to evaluate 18 (11 FMIG, seven SRFC) articles that met our criteria. Of the nine articles that examined whether FMIG participation impacted entry into family medicine, five papers noted a positive relationship, one paper noted unclear correlation, and three papers noted that FMIG did not impact entry into family medicine. Of the seven articles about SRFC, only one showed a positive relationship between SRFC activity and entry into primary care. Larger-scale and higher quality studies are necessary to determine the impact of FMIG and SRFC on entry into family medicine and primary care. However, available evidence supports that FMIG participation is positively associated with family medicine career choice. In contrast, SRFC participation is not clearly associated with primary care career choice.

Fenomena Social Climber pada Remaja

Being famous and existing is a significant problem for teenagers in search of self-identity. Teenagers often do not want to be competitive and want to show their best in front of their peers. Teenagers have an excellent opportunity to become social climber to survive in a group. A social climber is described as the behaviour of someone who wants to get a higher social status around him. The development of technology, especially social media, is one of the media used by teenagers to become social climbers. The article will discuss the social climber phenomenon in adolescents. The method used in this study is a systematic literature review. Data were obtained from various research or non-research scientific articles and books relevant to the research title. The study results stated that the social climber phenomenon in adolescents is influenced by the rapid development of technology and social media. It can be seen from the habits of teenagers to compete to have the latest gadgets, wear branded goods, hang out culture, and display their best photos on social media.

Care coordination for children with medical complexity and caregiver empowerment in the process: A literature review.

Advances in health care have led to an increase in infants and children being discharged home with increasingly complex conditions. Children with medical complexity require care from many physicians and specialties to thrive in their home environment. While some care coordination programs are in place, these programs are often dependent upon the child living within the geographic area of a major healthcare system. Additionally, children with medical complexity often need specialized care from providers outside the participating healthcare system, placing the onus of care coordination on the child's family. This literature review aimed to examine care coordination programs for children with medical complexity and what tools have been created to empower the child's family in the process. Qualitative and quantitative research studies published from 2015 to 2021 found in Academic Search Complete, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Medline that included a review of a care coordination program for children with medical complexity were included. Nonresearch articles, articles written about adults, or written in languages other than English were excluded. The Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice grading scale was used to appraise the evidence. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist was utilized to structure this review to deter the risk of bias. A qualitative synthesis was used to analyze and present the results. There are varying strategies used to facilitate care coordination of children with medical complexity. Effects of care coordination on the child are inconsistent; however, the child's caregiver considers high-quality care coordination to improve quality of life. There are limited tools available for caregivers of children with medical complexity to coordinate their child's care across healthcare systems. Generalizability is a concern due to the small sample sizes of studies and underrepresentation of non-English speaking families in the research. Risk of bias is possible due to highly engaged families willing to participate in the selected research studies. There is an opportunity to develop further and study care coordination tools to empower the caregivers of children with medical complexity.

An Integrative Review of Body Art in Nursing.

Schools of nursing and health care facilities frequently have policies prohibiting the visibility of body art (tattoos and piercings). The authors sought to understand literature specific to nursing regarding such policies. This integrative review examined literature regarding body art in nursing. A systematic electronic database search was conducted for publications between 2010 and 2021. Thematic analysis of both empirical studies and nonresearch articles was completed. Thirty articles were analyzed, revealing 3 themes and 8 subthemes related to body art in nursing practice: level of acceptability (subthemes were positive perception, stigmatizing, and personal meaning); professional image (subthemes were appearance matters, policy, and trust and confidence); and infection concern (subthemes were hygiene and contamination). Current understanding from literature regarding body art in nursing was summarized.

Persistent Symptoms in Recovered Patient From Covid-19 and the Importance of Post-acute Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review

Background and Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) Acute Respiratory Syndrome has spread around the world. Various persistent complications and symptoms, including various physical and mental disorders, have been observed in recovered and discharged patients. The purpose of this review article was to study the persistent symptoms in patients recovering from Covid-19 and the importance of rehabilitation in the post-acute phase. Methods: In this review study, related articles from databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline, ScienceDirect, SID, Inlm, Web of Science, Scopus, Springer from 2019 to August 2021, were reviewed. The following keywords were also used in the article search process: Covid-19 (and similar) recovered, survivors, discharged, Persistent symptoms, consequences and post-acute. Results: A search of articles in databases identified 10,227 articles. After removing duplicate articles, articles in non-Persian and English languages, non-research articles and non- related articles, 61 articles were obtained that examined the persistent symptoms of recovered and discharged patients. The most persistent symptoms included dyspnea, fatigue and acquired weakness, psychological problems, and decreased quality of life. Conclusion: The results showed that due to the persistent symptoms and clinical condition of Covid-19 disease, motor and pulmonary rehabilitation is necessary for the recovering. These programs should be continued in specialized departments or through home rehabilitation with the aim of regaining motor skills and improving mental health.

A survey of biomedical journals to detect editorial bias and nepotistic behavior.

Alongside the growing concerns regarding predatory journal growth, other questionable editorial practices have gained visibility recently. Among them, we explored the usefulness of the Percentage of Papers by the Most Prolific author (PPMP) and the Gini index (level of inequality in the distribution of authorship among authors) as tools to identify journals that may show favoritism in accepting articles by specific authors. We examined whether the PPMP, complemented by the Gini index, could be useful for identifying cases of potential editorial bias, using all articles in a sample of 5,468 biomedical journals indexed in the National Library of Medicine. For articles published between 2015 and 2019, the median PPMP was 2.9%, and 5% of journal exhibited a PPMP of 10.6% or more. Among the journals with the highest PPMP or Gini index values, where a few authors were responsible for a disproportionate number of publications, a random sample was manually examined, revealing that the most prolific author was part of the editorial board in 60 cases (61%). The papers by the most prolific authors were more likely to be accepted for publication within 3 weeks of their submission. Results of analysis on a subset of articles, excluding nonresearch articles, were consistent with those of the principal analysis. In most journals, publications are distributed across a large number of authors. Our results reveal a subset of journals where a few authors, often members of the editorial board, were responsible for a disproportionate number of publications. To enhance trust in their practices, journals need to be transparent about their editorial and peer review practices.

Communication Between Schools Nurses and Health Care Providers on Students with Asthma: An Integrative Review

School-based asthma programs have been proven to lessen the burden of pediatric asthma. There is a lack of successful care coordination between school nurses and primary care providers. This review examined strategies to increase communication and identified gaps in the literature. Databases, including PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, and The Cochrane Library, were searched to identify relevant articles. This review included 12 articles consisting of randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, mixed method studies, qualitative studies, and other non-research articles. Four key findings emerged, including limited availability of asthma action plans, inclusion of parents in the communication triad, school nurse outreach to providers, and improved communication leads to positive outcomes for students with asthma including decreased use of emergency medication and increased self-management of asthma. Further research is needed to develop evidence-based interventions that can be implemented to improve communication between school nurses and primary care providers.

A Scoping Review of Breastfeeding in Active Duty U.S. Military Women

Active duty (AD) women in the U.S. military experience challenges during childbearing owing to unique occupational demands. The purpose of this article is to report the findings from a scoping review on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period that are specific to breastfeeding among servicewomen. A secondary aim is to identify leverage points that would promote breastfeeding in this population. We developed a PRISMA-ScR protocol to identify publications from 2000 to 2018 regarding pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period in AD women. Among articles pertaining to the postpartum period, we recognized those specific to breastfeeding for separate analysis. Using the social ecological model for military women's health (SEM-MWH) to synthesize our results, we identified actionable leverage points in the military setting for positive change. Research articles specific to breastfeeding (n=8) included descriptive, cross-sectional, and qualitative studies. Non-research articles (n=7) were either an integrative review, nonsystematic review, or commentary. Thirty-four leverage points were identified throughout the social ecological system of military women, including support for lactation in the workplace, employment of lactation consultants, occupational hazards assessment, personnel policies that delay the separation of women and their infants, and research to fill gaps in knowledge about breastfeeding while on AD. The greatest number of leverage points are in the SEM-MWH mesosystem and exosystem. There are multiple potential leverage points throughout the SEM-MWH to generate positive changes in the social ecological system of military women. These changes could serve to enhance the breastfeeding experiences of AD women.

A Scoping Review of Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Postpartum Period in Active Duty U.S. Military Women.

Women in the U.S. military encounter unique challenges during the perinatal period that are driven by military requirements for mission readiness. The purpose of this scoping review was to systematically examine the extent, range, and nature of the literature on pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period of active duty military women. A secondary aim was to identify leverage points for changes to improve perinatal health of servicewomen. We used a PRISMA-ScR protocol to guide this scoping review of research and non-research articles germane to the perinatal health of servicewomen. In the protocol, we identified the rationale, objectives, eligibility criteria, search strategy, sources of evidence, and data charting processes for the review. We used the social ecological model for military women's health framework to guide the synthesis of results. Eighty-four articles on the topics of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period of servicewomen published from 2000 to 2018 were identified. The articles were mainly research studies (n=76), of which 49 had observational designs. Leverage points to promote workplace safety and support of pregnant women, perinatal screening, recognition of pregnancy and postpartum depression, and maintaining physical fitness during pregnancy and the postpartum period were identified in multiple levels of the social ecological model for military women's health. Literature published from 2000 to 2018 is broad in scope, yet generally lacks a robust body of evidence on any one topic. Implementing strategies and military policies that are directed at the identified leverage points could enhance the health of childbearing servicewomen.

An analysis of form and function of a research article between and within publishers and journals

Abstract The identification and subsequent analysis of research articles for machine learning and natural language processing is a complicated task given the lack of consistent article organization principles and heading naming conventions across publishers and journals. Given this, an understanding of how research articles organizationally follow a common function and their use of various heading terms, or forms, is a critical step in applying machine learning techniques for data and information mining across a corpus of articles. To address this need, the authors developed and implemented an article heading form and function analysis across 12 publishers including both research articles and nonresearch articles. Our aim was to (a) identify each of the labeled sections used by research articles, define these sections based on their rhetorical function, and determine frequency of use; (b) within the given data set, determine all of the alternative labels used to identify these sections; and (c) determine whether these sections can be used to consistently determine (1) whether an article is a true research article, or (2) whether an article is not a research article. The results indicated wide variability in the organization of research articles with 24 common sections, known by 186 different names both within and across publishing houses.

Scoping Review on Menstrual Suppression Among U.S. Military Service Members.

The purpose of this scoping review was to systematically evaluate literature addressing menstrual suppression in the military population and to identify gaps in the literature. A scoping review of the literature using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines was completed. Quality appraisal was conducted using the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Evidence Level and Quality Guide. Thirteen research articles and nine non-research articles were included. The themes identified were methods for menstrual suppression, barriers to menstrual suppression, and educational recommendations. Six gaps were identified: (1) readiness, (2) single branch of service, (3) options for suppression, (4) hesitance to suppress, (5) provider practices, and (6) stagnant research. Recommendations for future research, practice, and military health policy are provided. Expanding research on menstrual suppression in U.S. military service members will enhance the health of military service members, provider practices, and military health policy to promote military readiness.

KNOWLEDGE REGARDING RISK FACTORS AND PREVENTION OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE (CAD) AMONG BANK WORKERS OF BANKS: A PREEXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Background: India is a large and socioeconomically diverse country, and there could be evidence of all the stages of this transition in the country. Sedentary lifestyle is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The work environment can enhance the CHD risk. There is a denite and direct link between work situation and health status. Bank employees are certainly one group to be considered where the work situation would allude to their health status. As coronary artery disease is the only cardiovascular condition which can be prevented so always “prevention is better than cure”. Aim: To assess knowledge regarding risk factors and prevention of coronary artery disease (cad) among bank workers of banks in Kolhapur city, Maharashtra Methodology: The researcher decided to frame a structured questionnaire. After approval from the guide and suggested modications from expertise done, then pilot study was conducted. The interpretations were drawn for feasibility and validity of the study.

Opportunities and Benefits of Publishing Tutorial Articles in Scientific Journals

EDITORIAL
 
 Apart from being a journal that can publish scientific articles from all disciplines of science and technology, Aloha International Journal of Multidisciplinary Advancement (AIJMU) also opens opportunities for authors to publish scientific papers in various forms, both research and non-research articles; what is important is scientific and beneficial to the scientific community.
 One segment of the scientific community that is in dire need of important information from journals is diploma and undergraduate students. They really need basic level sciences, which can help them to complete their studies. Therefore, AIJMU invited lecturers and researchers to publish articles in tutorial form. The tutorial material is expected to be a new technique or procedure which is a scientific finding that needs to be introduced to the scientific community immediately, but it is also possible to publish other types of tutorials that are considered useful for the scientific community.
 As an article that is a practical guide, of course, it is likely that the size of the article is relatively long, so especially for tutorial articles, the number of words allowed is not limited, but it is hoped that the author uses a concise and simple presentation style.
 It is hoped that the tutorial articles published in this journal can really help practitioners, academics and students, who in turn can contribute to the development of science and technology in all disciplines of science and technology.

The use of simulation as a teaching modality for paramedic education: a scoping review.

Background:Simulation is a broad concept used as an education pedagogy for a wide range of disciplines. The use of simulation to educate paramedics is a frequently used but untested modality to teach psycho-motor skills, acquire new knowledge and gain competence in practice. This review identifies how simulation is currently being used for the education of paramedics, and establish the context for future application.Methods:A scoping review of the literature was undertaken following the PRISMA systematic approach. Flexible inclusion criteria were used to capture research and non-research articles that would contribute to the synthesis of literature with a specific knowledge base pertaining to simulation use for paramedic education.Results:Initial searching yielded 1388 records, of which 22 remained after initial title and abstract reading. Following secondary full-text screening, 18 articles were deemed appropriate for final inclusion: eight are research, two literature reviews and eight non-research. Across all the literature, a range of concepts are discussed: Skill vs Scenario, Virtual Learning, Inter-Professional Learning, Fidelity, Cost, Equipment, Improvement of Competency, Patient Safety, Perception of Simulation.Conclusion:It is evident that simulation is a primary teaching modality, consistently used to educate and train paramedics. Simulation is inherently effective at teaching clinical skills and building student competence in particular areas. Similarly, simulation is effective at providing paramedics with experiences and opportunities to learn in varied environments using differing techniques. This allows students to apply the relevant skills and knowledge when faced with real patients.

Nursing strategies for environmental justice: A scoping review.

To describe types of strategic actions nurses take to promote environmental justice (EJ) through research, education, advocacy, and practice (REAP) reported in peer-reviewed literature. A scoping review of literature was conducted that described EJ nursing strategies and included nurses listed as authors, subjects, partners, or organizational members. The sample consisted of 35 articles, representing 24 primary research studies and 11 nonresearch articles. Data were separately analyzed by research and nonresearch articles for a clearer understanding of evidence-based strategies within domains of REAP. Articles in the sample highlighted the importance of authentic community partnership and represented diversity of nursing strategies that addressed a range of environmental exposures and subsequent health and racial inequities. Climate justice, a concept that emerged from the EJ movement and intersects with planetary health, is a recent focus in professional nursing. This scoping review establishes an understanding of the extent of nursing knowledge and research in EJ and lays the groundwork for further research on effective EJ nursing strategies. Community-Based Participatory Research/Participatory Action Research methods are fundamental for EJ research, and further theoretical development is needed to guide evaluation of EJ nursing strategies for education, advocacy, and practice.

Self-care needs and practices for the older adult caregiver: An integrative review

Older adult caregivers experience health risks due to the demands of the role, higher prevalence of chronic illness, the aging process, and insufficient time for self-care. Using Whittermore and Knafl's methodology, an integrative review was conducted to explore the self-care needs and practices of older adult caregivers. The terms self-care, caregiver, informal caregiver, carer, family carer, and older adult were used to search the CINAHL, PsychINFO and SocIndex databases and obtain studies published in English between 2010 and 2020. Non-research articles, reviews, mean age of subjects < 50 years, studies focused on formal caregivers were excluded. Fifteen articles met inclusion criteria. Physical activity, stress management, social support, and support resources were identified as self-care needs. Self-care practices included self-advocacy, coping strategies, prioritizing of self, legacy building, and activism. Further exploration is required on how to best support older adult caregivers in fulfilling their caregiving role while promoting their own health.

A Systematic Mixed-Studies Review of Hope Experiences in Parents of Children With Cancer.

Hope is negatively associated with parental psychosocial distress and psychological maladjustment as well as an important aspect of emotional well-being and coping for adults with cancer and their caregivers. Yet, little is known about hope experiences of parents of children with cancer. The aim of this study was to comprehensively describe hope experiences in parents of children with cancer using a systematic mixed-studies review. Psych INFO, PubMed, Academic Search Premier, and CINAHL databases were used to retrieve articles published in English between January 2005 and October 2019. Using the systematic mixed-studies review convergent design, qualitative and quantitative data were collected and extracted followed by qualitative synthesis. Seventeen articles met the inclusion criteria. Exclusion criteria were systematic reviews, nonresearch articles, case reports, and abstracts. Hope is a fundamental source of strength and inner guidance for parents. Findings suggest that hope is negatively correlated with parental psychological distress symptoms and coping dysfunctions. Religiosity, spirituality, and adequate provider-parent communication may strengthen hope in parents. Parental hope may help minimize psychological distress and maladjustment after a child's cancer diagnosis. Open communication channels between providers and parents are critical in preserving hope. An understanding of religiosity, spirituality, optimism, and sociodemographic variables may inform parental psychosocial interventions. Early identification of parents with psychological distress is critical as they may struggle more in the absence of hope. Targeted psychosocial interventions may help parents of children with cancer cope better. Ongoing assessments of spiritual needs may be important in sustaining hope.
