Abstract. There appears to be a wide acceptance that debriefing plays an important role in the learning process of simulation-based programs. Indeed, the past decade has witnessed an increasing number of studies into debriefing across disciplines. Our research team has been conducting field research with airlines, over a number of years, to clarify what constitutes effective debriefing for airline pilot training. To assist this clarification, a comprehensive systematic review of existing studies into debriefing across disciplines was designed to direct further analysis of the data the team had collected. A preliminary investigation into this broad debriefing literature exposed that there was little consensus among many papers about effective debriefing practice owing to inconsistencies in: (a) methodological approaches, (b) terminology, and (c) professional focus. As a way of overcoming these inconsistencies, this paper initially synthesized research findings from a small number of existing systematic reviews scrutinizing debriefing across a variety of professional disciplines. The literature search identified 10 papers, three meta-analyses, and seven qualitative systematic reviews. This paper aims to identify key elements influencing learning outcomes from debriefing practices and presents the findings of this study as a single framework of debriefing elements.

Background Studies on the impacts of child maltreatment (CM) have been conducted in diverse areas. Mechanistic understanding of the complex interplay between factors is lacking. Hallmarking is an approach which identifies common factors across studies and highlights the most robust findings. Objectives In a review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, we addressed the following questions: 1) What are the hallmarks associated with exposure to CM across the bio-ecological spectrum? 2) What is the strength of evidence to support each hallmark? 3) What are the gaps that future research should address? Methods A comprehensive literature search was carried out to find relevant systematic reviews or meta-analyses. 269 articles were read in full and 178 articles, encompassing more than 6000 original papers, were included in the final synthesis. All reviews were independently rated for quality by at least 2 reviewers using AMSTAR-2. Results Of 178 review articles, 6 were rated as high quality (all meta-analyses) and 46 were rated as medium quality. Most were from high income countries. Conclusions Based on the most commonly reported high-quality research findings we propose that the hallmarks of exposure to child maltreatment are: Increased risk of psychopathology; Increased risk of obesity; Increased risk of high- risk sexual behaviours, Increased risk of smoking; and Increased risk of child maltreatment in children with disabilities. Research gaps include a lack of focus on complexity and resilience. Little can be concluded about directions of causality or mechanisms. Adequately powered prospective studies are required to move the field forward.

Abstract. This editorial gives a brief introduction to the six articles included in the fourth “Hotspots in Psychology” of the Zeitschrift für Psychologie. The format is devoted to systematic reviews and meta-analyses in research-active fields that have generated a considerable number of primary studies. The common denominator is the research synthesis nature of the included articles, and not a specific psychological topic or theme that all articles have to address. Moreover, methodological advances in research synthesis methods relevant for any subfield of psychology are being addressed. Comprehensive supplemental material to the articles can be found in PsychArchives ( https://www.psycharchives.org ).

O uso do laser não ablativo no tratamento do melasma tem sido abordado em diversos estudos, porém, não há consenso na literatura quanto aos parâmetros e feitos de intervenções baseadas neste recurso. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e descrever parâmetros e efeitos do laser não ablativo no tratamento de hiperpigmentação de pele (melasma). Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura baseada no Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A busca eletrônica compreendeu as seguintes bases de dados: PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Science Direct e SciELO. Foram identificados inicialmente 641 documentos nas bases de dados eletrônicas, enquanto na busca manual 26 artigos foram encontrados, após leitura e análise 7 artigos foram selecionados. Foram analisados 7 artigos correspondentes as bases de dados PubMed e Science Direct, todos na língua inglesa e publicados a partir do ano de 2010. Apenas um estudo utilizou uma amostra maior que 30 indivíduos, os demais utilizaram em média 16 participantes, com predomínio do sexo feminino e classificação segundo Fitzpatrick entre III-V. O comprimento de onda variou entre 1064 nm a 1550 nm e a energia máxima não ultrapassou 4 J/cm². De acordo com as variáveis avaliadas, os protocolos testados demonstraram que o laser não ablativo foi ineficaz no tratamento de melasma facial, sobretudo após a interrupção da terapia.Palavras-chave: hiperpigmentação, laser não ablativo, fisioterapia dermato-funcional, revisão sistemática.

Contexte : Les troubles périnéosphinctériens (TPS) survenant chez les patients souffrant de trouble du comportement alimentaire (TCA) sont des complications sous-abord ées dans la littérature. Le but de cette revue de la littérature était de faire le point sur l’état des connaissances actuelles pour aider le clinicien prenant en charge les TPS à les mettre en lien avec les TCA, et le clinicien prenant en charge les TCA à les prévenir et à les repérer le plus précocement possible, dans une perspective de réduction des risques et des dommages. Méthode : Deux revues de littérature ont été conduites, l’une portant sur les TPS d’origine digestive, l’autre sur les TPS d’origine urinaire. La sélection des articles s’est faite en nous référant aux recommandations PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) et à partir des bases de données PubMed et ScienceDirect. Résultats : Douze articles ont été retenus. Les TPS identifies sont la constipation, l’incontinence fécale, l’incontinence urinaire et le prolapsus rectal. Ils sont secondaires aux effets de la malnutrition sur la composante musculaire ainsi qu’à la pression abdominale exercée par des comportements visant à réguler la prise de poids, tels que les exercices physiques réalisés en hyperpression, les efforts de poussée lors de l’émission des selles et les vomissements provoqués. Conclusion : Une anamnèse précise et méticuleuse chez les personnes présentant un indice de masse corporel bas semble primordiale. L’usage de laxatifs est à proscrire avant un programme de renutrition d’au moins trois semaines.

BACKGROUND There is still no consensus on research terms for smart healthcare worldwide. The study conducted by Lewis 10 years ago showed extending geographic access was the major health purpose of health-related information communication technology (ICT), but today's situation may be different because of the rapid development of smart healthcare. Objective: The main aim of this study is to classify recent smart healthcare interventions. Therefore, this scoping review was conducted as a feasible tool for exploring this domain and summarizing related research findings. OBJECTIVE The main aim of this study is to classify recent smart healthcare interventions. Therefore, this scoping review was conducted as a feasible tool for exploring this domain and summarizing related research findings. METHODS The scoping review relies on the analysis of previous reviews of smart healthcare interventions assessed for their effectiveness in the framework of a systematic review and/or meta-analysis. The search strategy was based on the identification of smart healthcare interventions reported as the proposed keywords. In the analysis, the reviews published from January 2015 to December 2019 were included. RESULTS The number of publications for smart healthcare's systematic reviews has continued to grow in the past five years. The search strategy yielded 210 systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses addressed to target groups of interest. 68.5% of these publications used mobile health as a keyword. According to the classification by Lewis, 37.62% of the literature was applied to extend geographic access. According to the classification by the Joint Commission of Taiwan (JCT), 48.84% of smart healthcare was applied in clinical areas, and 60% of it was applied in outpatient medical services. CONCLUSIONS Smart healthcare interventions are being widely used in clinical settings and for disease management. The research of mobile health has received the most attention among smart healthcare interventions. The main purpose of mobile health was used to extend geographic access to increase medical accessibility in clinical areas. CLINICALTRIAL none

A large number of research studies in structural health monitoring (SHM) have presented, extended, and used subspace system identification. However, there is a lack of research on systematic literature reviews and surveys of studies in this field. Therefore, the current study is undertaken to systematically review the literature published on the development and application of subspace system identification methods. In this regard, major databases in SHM, including Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, have been selected and preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) has been applied to ensure complete and transparent reporting of systematic reviews. Along this line, the presented review addresses the available studies that employed subspace-based techniques in the vibration-based damage detection (VDD) of civil structures. The selected papers in this review were categorized into authors, publication year, name of journal, applied techniques, research objectives, research gap, proposed solutions and models, and findings. This study can assist practitioners and academicians for better condition assessment of structures and to gain insight into the literature.
