The latest issue of the JBI Evidence Synthesis journal is out now and includes THREE diverse evidence syntheses, each employing a different #JBIMethodology.
A qualitative systematic review aims to identify, critically appraise, and synthesise the available evidence on the experiences of people with progressive memory disorders who are involved in non-pharmacological interventions: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/Abstra…
Qualitative methods & data are increasing in usage in #EBHC research. Instead of quantifying or statistically portraying the data or findings, qualitative research focuses on individuals & gives voice to the patient/client or provider in the healthcare decision-making process.
An umbrella review aims to identify the effectiveness of healthcare tech that can facilitate remote rehab for adults with deconditioning, musculoskeletal conditions, stroke, or traumatic brain injury: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/Abstra…
Umbrella reviews offer the possibility of addressing a range of issues related to a topic of interest. The wide picture obtainable from the conduct of an umbrella review can highlight if the evidence around a topic is consistent, or if contradictory, exploring & detailing why.
Finally, a scoping review describes the provision of a family support role as part of a rapid response to a medical emergency. journals.lww.com/jbisrir/Abstra…
Scoping reviews are conducted when the author is more interested in the identification of certain characteristics/concepts in sources of evidence, & in the mapping, reporting or discussion of these characteristics/concepts, rather than asking a precise clinical question.
To learn more about the rigorous JBI methodologies that are used in these 3 systematic reviews, check out the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis: jbi-global-wiki.refined.site/space/MANUAL
All systematic reviews published in JBI Evidence Synthesis use JBI's gold standard methodology. See the latest issue of JBI Evidence Synthesis for these systematic reviews, and more: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/pages/…#JBIEBHC#JBIMethodology

There is a worldwide shortage of registered nurses (RNs) due to high turnover and insufficient numbers of new graduates. The World Health Organisation and the International Council of Nurses warn that the shortage will worsen without immediate action.
Nursing education programs are under pressure to increase enrolments and produce more nurse graduates. But nursing programs face challenges such as faculty shortages, financial constraints, and limited access to clinical practice environments.
Many qualified applicants are turned away from nursing programs due to capacity issues, and a significant number of students drop out before completing the program.
A systematic review shows the potential of parent-targeted eHealth educational interventions in reducing infant procedural pain. These interventions can be accessed through various eHealth platforms, providing parents with accessible & flexible ways to learn at their own pace.
Parental involvement during procedures, such as providing skin-to-skin contact or breastfeeding, effectively reduces pain experienced during acute procedures.
Although parents are concerned with how to protect their infants from pain or stress in early life, they often are not aware of their capacity with procedural pain management.
PTSD rates are higher in Emergency First Responders (EFRs) compared to the general population. However, the role PTSD plays in the life of the EFR's family is missing from literature.
A new qualitative systematic review included 5 studies with rich qualitative data regarding the experience of family members of EFRs with PTSD.
Qualitative research allows a more nuanced exploration of the effects on family members and
highlights risk factors.
During #JBIMethodology Month we’ll be sharing a series of #MethodsInAMinute tweetorials. We’ll begin with key points on Umbrella Reviews by A/Prof Edoardo Aromataris 👇
With the ever-increasing number of systematic reviews & research syntheses available to inform topics in healthcare, SRs of existing reviews, or umbrella reviews, are increasingly being conducted to summarise a broad scope of issues related to a given topic.
An umbrella review is also ideal in highlighting if the evidence base around a topic or question is consistent or if contradictory or discrepant findings exist, and in exploring and detailing the reasons why.
