Suicide bereavement support groups are a widely available format of postvention service. Although other reviews have addressed peer-led bereavement interventions, no review has focused specifically on peer-led support for people bereaved by suicide. Informed by a framework for undertaking scoping reviews, we conducted a systematic review according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Searches conducted in May 2021 of peer-reviewed literature in MEDLINE (EBSCO), CINAHL Complete (EBSCO), PsycINFO (EBSCO), EMBASE (Elsevier), AMED (EBSCO), ERIC (EBSCO), Web of Science (Core Collection), ASSIA (Proquest), and Global Index Medicus. The search was not limited by language, and all studies were included to full text screening. The search identified 10 studies conducted between 1994 and 2020 in five countries. The selected papers were subjected to quality assessment. The interventions included face-to-face groups, telephone and online groups/forums and were evaluated using a variety of methodologies, which made comparison and synthesis challenging. Thematic analysis resulted in four themes: motivation, impact, aspects of intervention which hindered/enhanced outcomes, and recommendations for the practice of peer support made by the authors. While there were methodological limitations to most studies included in this review; the studies do indicate the potential benefit of peer-led support to those bereaved through suicide. Future studies should provide a definition of ‘peer’ and a clear description of the intervention being evaluated. As the field matures there is a need for more rigorous evaluation of peer interventions with representative samples, studies that compare the impact of various types of peer interventions, and studies of the peer group processes.

Introduction While there is a growing emphasis on Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) within maternal and neonatal research, there is a lack of evidence on how PPI is currently implemented. The aim of this qualitative evidence synthesis was to gain insight into stakeholders' experiences and perspectives of PPI in maternal and neonatal trials. Methods CINAHL, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Maternity and Infant Care (OVID) were searched from inception dates to September 2023, supplemented by a search of Google Scholar. Eligibility screening and quality appraisal of each included record were independently undertaken by two reviewers. Data extracted from the included records were thematically synthesised using Thomas and Harden's approach. Results Nine records were identified as eligible and included in the review. Three themes were generated from the synthesis, each with two or three subthemes. The main themes were ‘building a successful PPI partnership’, ‘impact of PPI on trial design and development’, and ‘impact of PPI on stakeholders’. Of 15 discrete findings, 1 was assessed as having high confidence, 11 as moderate and 3 were assessed as having low confidence. Conclusion Researchers who facilitated PPI described it as a positive and enjoyable experience that improved trial design and considered PPI as an asset to research. However, there was a lack of information available on PPI contributors' first‐hand perspectives or experiences, which considerably limits our understanding of their opinions on how PPI is currently conducted. Protocol Registration: The protocol for this qualitative evidence synthesis was registered on PROSPERO (PROSPERO registration number CRD42023383878).

This is the protocol for a Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows: to produce a mega‐map which identifies, maps and provides a visual interactive display, based on systematic reviews on all the main aspects of elder abuse in both the community and in institutions, such as residential and long‐term care institutions.

Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM), the coexistence of two or more cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs), is increasingly recognized as a key risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia in older adults. Healthy lifestyle behaviors may mitigate these effects, but this remains poorly understood. Given the rising prevalence of CMM worldwide and the urgent need for effective dementia prevention strategies, a systematic review and meta-analysis are warranted to investigate whether and to what extent a healthier lifestyle can mitigate this risk. A comprehensive search of Embase, Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus will be conducted to identify longitudinal observational studies reporting incident adverse cognitive outcomes in older adults with CMM, while also exploring the influence of lifestyle factors on such outcomes. Grey literature will be included, and no language or date restrictions will be applied. Retrieved records will be managed in Covidence, with two independent reviewers conducting all review processes. Data will be extracted using a predesigned extraction form. The ROBINS-E tool will be used to assess the risk of bias, and the GRADE approach will evaluate the certainty of evidence. If sufficient homogeneous data are available, a meta-analysis will be conducted; otherwise, findings will be narratively synthesized. This systematic review and meta-analysis will provide comprehensive insights into the extent to which a healthier lifestyle may mitigate cognitive decline associated with CMM. The findings may inform future intervention designs to promote healthy aging and reduce the risk of cognitive impairment among individuals with CMM. Prospero registration ID: CRD420251000046.

Background Yoga is a popular mind-body medicine frequently recommended to pregnant women. Gaps remain in our understanding of the core components of effective pregnancy yoga programmes. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the characteristics and effectiveness of pregnancy yoga interventions, incorporating the FITT (frequency, intensity, time/duration and type) principle of exercise prescription. Methods Nine electronic databases were searched: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL, WHOLiS, AMED, ScieLo, ASSIA and Web of Science. Randomised control trials and quasi-experimental studies examining pregnancy yoga interventions were eligible. Covidence was used to screen titles, abstracts, and full-text articles. Outcomes of interest were stress, anxiety, depression, quality of life, labour duration, pain management in labour and mode of birth. The Cochrane Collaboration’s Risk of Bias Assessment tool was used to assess methodological quality of studies and GRADE criteria (GRADEpro) evaluated quality of the evidence. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3. Results Of 862 citations retrieved, 31 studies met inclusion criteria. Twenty-nine studies with 2217 pregnant women were included for meta-analysis. Pregnancy yoga interventions reduced anxiety (SMD: -0.91; 95% CI: − 1.49 to − 0.33; p  = 0.002), depression (SMD: -0.47; 95% CI: − 0.9 to − 0.04, P  = 0.03) and perceived stress (SMD: -1.03; 95% CI: − 1.55 to − 0.52; p  < 0.001). Yoga interventions also reduced duration of labour (MD = − 117.75; 95% CI − 153.80 to − 81.71, p  < 0.001) and, increased odds of normal vaginal birth (OR 2.58; 95% CI 1.46–4.56, p  < 0.001) and tolerance for pain. The quality of evidence (GRADE criteria) was low to very low for all outcomes. Twelve or more yoga sessions delivered weekly/bi-weekly had a statistically significant impact on mode of birth, while 12 or more yoga sessions of long duration (> 60 min) had a statistically significant impact on perceived stress. Conclusion The evidence highlights positive effects of pregnancy yoga on anxiety, depression, perceived stress, mode of birth and duration of labour.

Patients diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have a high symptom burden and numerous needs that remain largely unaddressed despite advances in available treatment options. There is a need to comprehensively identify patients' needs and create opportunities to address them. This scoping review aimed to synthesise the available evidence and identify gaps in the literature regarding the unmet needs of patients diagnosed with IPF. The protocol for the review was registered with Open Science Framework (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/SY4KM). A systematic search was performed in March 2022, in CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, PsychInfo, Web of Science Core Collection and ASSIA Applied Social Science Index. A comprehensive review of grey literature was also completed. Inclusion criteria included patients diagnosed with IPF and date range 2011-2022. A range of review types were included. Data was extracted using a data extraction form. Data was analysed using descriptive and thematic analysis. A total of 884 citations were reviewed. Ethical approval was not required. 52 citations were selected for final inclusion. Five themes were identified: 1.) psychological impact of an IPF diagnosis. 2.) adequate information and education: at the right time and in the right way. 3.) high symptom burden support needs. 4.) referral to palliative care and advance care planning (ACP). 5.) health service provision-a systems approach. This review highlights the myriad of needs patients with IPF have and highlights the urgent need for a systems approach to care, underpinned by an appropriately resourced multi-disciplinary team. The range of needs experienced by patients with IPF are broad and varied and require a holistic approach to care including targeted research, coupled with the continuing development of patient-focused services and establishment of clinical care programmes.

This scoping review aims to map the social dimensions of kidney care pathways. End-stage kidney disease places significant demands on patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and the broader healthcare system. Kidney replacement therapy and conservative kidney management are the common management pathways for end stage kidney disease, but its delivery entails substantial time, financial, and social costs. Research has documented some social aspects of kidney care pathways, but findings are fragmented across disciplines and have not been synthesised coherently. A scoping review is therefore needed to map the existing evidence, identify key domains of social impact, and highlight gaps to inform future research and policy. Eligible studies will include primary research that reports on the social dimensions of managing end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in adults. Studies from all settings, involving relevant stakeholder groups including patients with end stage kidney disease, informal caregivers, healthcare staff, and Industrial and supply chain workers engaged in different roles associated with kidney replacement therapy and/or conservative kidney management, will be included. The review will follow JBI methodology. Peer-reviewed and grey literature will be identified through searches of electronic databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycInfo, SocINDEX, EconLit, Web of Science) and grey literature sources (including Google Scholar and organisational reports). Reference lists of relevant reviews and identified articles will also be screened to identify any other relevant articles. Two reviewers will independently screen records and extract data using a predefined form. Results will be synthesised narratively and presented in thematic and tabular formats. This scoping review aims to generate evidence on the social impact of kidney replacement therapy and conservative management across multiple stakeholder groups. The review will provide a structured overview of how social outcomes are conceptualised, measured, and reported across the kidney care continuum. Open Science Framework osf.io/63wpk.

Background The epidemiology and pattern of cancer in people with an intellectual disability is poorly documented. Emerging evidence reports that a different profile and trajectory of cancer burden is experienced in this population. The prevalence and incidence of cancer in this group have not been systematically synthesised. This review will address a significant gap in the evidence base. Methods The Joanna Briggs Prevalence and Incidence methodology was used to guide the conduct of this review. Reporting the review adheres to the PRISMA checklist. Observational studies reporting prevalence and incidence of cancer and cancer subtypes in adults with intellectual disability were identified through searches of Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and grey literature from database inception dates to May 2025. A modified JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist was used to assess study quality. Meta-analyses were completed using Meta-XL., with pooled estimates reported where appropriate and narrative synthesis provided for heterogeneous results. Results Two articles reported cancer prevalence and ten reported cancer incidences. The pooled prevalence was 2% (95% CI: 1–3%). Incidence estimates varied from 1.0 to 4.7% but were from studies with different designs and follow-up periods, limiting direct comparability. Overall, findings tentatively suggest a similar to lower overall cancer prevalence and incidence to the general population, but some studies reported higher rates of ovarian, testicular and unknown primary cancers. The methodological quality of most ( n  = 11) studies was high. Meta-analyses showed substantial statistical heterogeneity for included incidence studies reflecting methodological and clinical differences. Conclusions Comparisons across studies are limited by heterogeneity in definitions of intellectual disability, study settings and cancer case identification. Challenges in synthesising cancer data in this population highlight the urgent need to identify people with intellectual disabilities at a population level and in cancer registries to help develop evidence that supports policy and practice in this area. Robust evidence is needed to inform clinical decision-making and policy development as the current epidemiological evidence is currently insufficient for this purpose.

IntroductionThere is an increasing need for evaluating postintensive care syndrome in adults concerning their long-term physical, psychological, cognitive and/or social outcomes, yet there is no consensus regarding the choice of instruments to measure these. This scoping review aims to identify and examine instruments used to measure postintensive care syndrome in adults.Methods and analysisThis scoping review will be conducted following the Arksey and O’Malley and its extended framework, and the Joanna Briggs Institute guideline. It will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Review checklists. Medline via EBSCO, CINAHL complete, EMBASE, Web of Science, AME and APA PsycINFO databases and grey literature will be searched from 2010 to the present. Reference lists of included studies will be manually checked to identify additional sources. The quality of included studies will be appraised using the Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool. All review steps will involve at least two reviewers. Data charting will be performed narratively, comprising study characteristics and findings, and instrument properties. This review will also aim to identify research gaps.Ethics and disseminationThere is no ethics disclosure for this review protocol. This scoping review will identify instruments used to measure postintensive care syndrome in adults. The findings will be disseminated through professional bodies, conferences and research papers.

Background Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) is a type of artificial intelligence that can learn from and mimic large amounts of data to create content such as text, images, music, videos, code, and more, based on inputs or prompts. Gen AI technologies are being increasingly integrated into healthcare education, including the field of nursing, where they are utilised to support a range of pedagogical activities. Purpose This scoping review examined and described the application of Gen AI as a teaching, learning and assessment strategy in Nursing education and examined the ethical implications of and attitudes towards its implementation. Methods We conducted a scoping review using a combination of methodological approaches, including Arksey and O’Malley’s 5-step framework, the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, and JBI evidence synthesis methods and searched five databases: EMBASE (Elsevier), Web of Science Core (Clarivate), CINAHL & Medline (EBSCO), Applied Social Science Index and Abstracts, and ERIC (ProQuest). A wide search of grey literature was also conducted. Literature published in English between January 1st 2014, and July 1st 2025 was included in the review. Results Of the 1,251 articles retrieved, we identified 103 articles for inclusion in the review. There were 44 discussion/opinion/conference papers and 59 empirical research papers. Gen AI has predominantly been used for content creation simulation, personalised learning, tutoring, skill development and assessment. Students and Educators describe mixed attitudes towards the implementation of Gen AI, with several ethical concerns regarding the application of Gen AI in nursing education evident, including privacy, transparency, bias, and accountability issues. Conclusion While there is growing openness to Gen AI, a body of work remains regarding ethical and educational challenges. Recommendations for educational practice and curriculum development include a need for clear policies and guidelines to ensure the ethical use of Gen AI resources by educators and students. Further research is needed to understand long-term effects and promote responsible implementation within the context of nursing education.
