Background: Interest in the application of music in the health, social care and community contexts is growing worldwide. There is an emerging body of literature about the positive effects of music on the well-being and social relationships of children and adult populations. Music has also been found to promote social interaction, communication skills, and social-emotional behaviours of children with medically complex care needs. Despite significant advancements in the area, to the authors’ knowledge, this is the first scoping review to investigate the evidence for using music therapy and music-based interventions for children living with rare diseases in the healthcare setting. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to conduct a scoping review of the literature to map out the existing studies about the use of music therapy and music-based interventions with children who have rare diseases in the healthcare setting. This review will also identify gaps in current knowledge and use of these interventions. Method: This study follows the Joanna Briggs Institute’s methodology for scoping reviews, utilising Arksey and O’Malley’s six-stage scoping review framework: 1) identifying the research question; 2) identifying relevant studies; 3) study selection; 4) charting the data; 5) collating, summarising and reporting results; and 6) consulting with relevant stakeholders step. A comprehensive search will be conducted in CINAHL Complete; MEDLINE Complete; Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection; and PubMed Central databases. A search strategy with selected inclusion and exclusion criteria will be used to reveal a wide range of evidence. This study will include quantitative, qualitative and mixed research methods studies published in English from 2010 to 2020.

Abstract Background Global responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have exposed and exacerbated existing socioeconomic and health inequities that disproportionately affect the sexual health and well-being of many populations, including people of color, ethnic minority groups, women, and sexual and gender minority populations. Although there have been several reviews published on COVID-19 and health disparities across various populations, none has focused on sexual health. We plan to conduct a scoping review that seeks to fill several of the gaps in the current knowledge of sexual health in the COVID-19 era. Methods A scoping review focusing on sexual health and COVID-19 will be conducted. We will search (from January 2020 onwards) CINAHL, Africa-Wide Information, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, Gender Studies Database, Gender Watch, Global Health, WHO Global Literature on Coronavirus Disease Database, WHO Global Index Medicus, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Sociological Abstracts. Grey literature will be identified using Disaster Lit, Google Scholar, governmental websites, and clinical trials registries (e.g., ClinicalTrial.gov, World Health Organization, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, and International Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Registry). Study selection will conform to the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers’ Manual 2015 Methodology for JBI Scoping Reviews. Only English language, original studies will be considered for inclusion. Two reviewers will independently screen all citations, full-text articles, and abstract data. A narrative summary of findings will be conducted. Data analysis will involve quantitative (e.g., frequencies) and qualitative (e.g., content and thematic analysis) methods. Discussion Original research is urgently needed to mitigate the risks of COVID-19 on sexual health. The planned scoping review will help to address this gap.

BACKGROUND Asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants experience a number of risk factors for mental health problems. However, in comparison to the host population, these populations are less likely to use mental health services. Digital mental health approaches have been shown to be effective in improving well-being for the general population. Thus, they may provide an effective and culturally appropriate strategy to bridge the treatment gap for these populations vulnerable to mental health risks. OBJECTIVE This paper aims to provide the background and rationale for conducting a scoping review on digital mental health resources for asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants. It also provides an outline of the methods and analyses, which will be used to answer the following questions. What are the available digital mental health resources for asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants? Are they effective, feasible, appropriate, and accepted by the population? What are the knowledge gaps in the field? METHODS The scoping review methodology will follow 5 phases: identifying the research question; identifying relevant studies; study selection; charting the data; and collating, summarizing, and reporting the results. Searches will be conducted in the following databases: EBSCOhost databases (CINAHL Plus with Full Text, MEDLINE with Full Text, APA PsycArticles, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, and APA PsycInfo), PubMed, and Scopus. Additionally, OpenGrey, Mednar, and Eldis will be searched for gray literature. All primary studies and gray literature in English concerning the use of information and communication technology to deliver services addressing mental health issues for asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants will be included. RESULTS This scoping review will provide an overview of the available digital mental health resources for asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants and describe the implementation outcomes of feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of such approaches for those populations. Potential gaps in the field will also be identified. CONCLUSIONS As of February 2020, there were no scoping reviews, which assessed the effectiveness, feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the available digital mental health resources for asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants. This review will provide an extensive coverage on a promising and innovative intervention for such populations. It will give insight into the range of approaches, their effectiveness, and progress in their implementation. It will also provide valuable information for health practitioners, policy makers, and researchers working with the population. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT PRR1-10.2196/19031

Abstract Background Researchers have only recently begun to conduct studies on the concept of loneliness during pregnancy and the transition into parenthood. Extensive study of loneliness in older adults has connected loneliness with mental and physical well-being, and with depressive symptoms, impaired sleep, increased vascular resistance, increased systolic blood pressure, etc. New parents’ experience of loneliness, however, has not been a specific focus of study. Research indicates that although loneliness is common across the lifespan, its highest incidence is in those aged 16 to 24, and risk of loneliness and related factors rises during transitional periods. The few studies targeting maternal loneliness indicate it may be predominantly situational. Transition-to-motherhood studies illustrate the importance of social support, which in turn is seen as predicting postpartum depression. Scarcity of parenthood-loneliness inquiries leaves a gap in our understanding of new parenthood. Further inquiry is needed to identify effects of loneliness on the health and well-being of parents and their children. Methods The scoping review to be conducted is designed to answer the question, “What is the research or evidence about loneliness in pregnancy and the new-parent population?” Secondary questions include, “What are the targeted populations of the research done to date on the topic of loneliness during pregnancy and in new parents?”, “What methodologies have been used to research the topic, and how has loneliness been measured and defined in this population?” and, “What, if any, questions that help to define the nature of maternal loneliness have already been answered (e.g., how common is loneliness within this group? are there differences between stratified groups within this population? what are the associated factors? what factors are protective? how does loneliness affect bonding? does it affect infant development? etc.)?” In accordance with scoping-review procedure, we will follow Arksey’s outline, as expanded by Peters and The Joanna Briggs Institute, using Arksey’s five stages: 1) identifying the research question, 2) identifying relevant studies, 3) selecting studies, 4) charting the data and 5) collating and reporting the results. We will follow PRISMA reporting guidelines for scoping reviews to ensure transparency and reproducibility. Multiple databases were searched. EndNote (Clarivate Analytics) will be used to manage citations and remove duplicates. Covidence (Veritas Health Innovation), an online systematic reviewing platform, will be used to screen and review search results. Two reviewers (JK, RP), working independently of each other, will screen the titles and abstracts of the articles returned by the searches, then screen the selected full-text articles, and extract data into REDCap. A third reviewer (SS) will be available to cast the deciding vote in case no consensus is reached between the two reviewers. Results will be given in narrative form, and will be mapped and illustrated. Discussion This scoping review aims to capture the state of the current literature on loneliness in pregnancy and new parenthood in order to identify gaps and make recommendations for future areas of study and related interventions.

Abstract BackgroundThe well-being and health of health care personnel is becoming increasingly important in the delivery of high-quality healthcare. Monitoring technologies provide new opportunities for the objective measurement of activities and behaviours related to well-being and health. However, these possible technologies used by health care personnel have not been fully synthesised. The overall aim of this scoping review is to examine what technologies are available to monitor health care personnel’s health, well-being and activities in workplace settings. More specifically, we want to explore how, by whom and for what purposes sensor applications have been used by health care personnel at different workplace settings.MethodsThis scoping review protocol will follow Arksey’s and O’Malley’s methodology, complimented by the approach of the Joanna Briggs Institute to scoping reviews. Peer-reviewed literature will be identified using a search strategy developed by a librarian, and a wide range of electronic datasets of medical, computer and information systems disciplines will be used. Eligibility of the articles will be determined using a two-stage screening process consisting of (1) a title and abstract scan, and (2) a full text review. Extracted data will be thematically analysed and validated by an expert of sensor technology and a group of nurses as stakeholders. Descriptive statistics will be calculated when necessary.DiscussionThis scoping review will examine what technologies are available to monitor health care personnel’s health, well-being and activities in workplace settings. The results obtained from the review will inform the suitability of monitoring technology used in health care settings, what methods are already available for use in research and technology might still be needed for future innovations. Findings of the scoping review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.Systematic review registrationThis review was submitted in Open Science Framework on 12 December 2020.

Women’s rugby (rugby league, rugby union and rugby sevens) has recently grown in participation and professionalisation. There is under-representation of women-only cohorts within applied sport science and medicine research and within the women’s rugby evidence base. The aims of this article are: Part 1: to undertake a systematic-scoping review of the applied sport science and medicine of women’s rugby, and Part 2: to develop a consensus statement on future research priorities. This article will be designed in two parts: Part 1: a systematic-scoping review, and Part 2: a three-round Delphi consensus method. For Part 1, systematic searches of three electronic databases (PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, SPORTDiscus (EBSCOhost)) will be performed from the earliest record. These databases will be searched to identify any sport science and medicine themed studies within women’s rugby. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Reviews will be adhered to. Part 2 involves a three-round Delphi consensus method to identify future research priorities. Identified experts in women’s rugby will be provided with overall findings from Part 1 to inform decision-making. Participants will then be asked to provide a list of research priority areas. Over the three rounds, priority areas achieving consensus (≥70% agreement) will be identified. This study has received institutional ethical approval. When complete, the manuscript will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The findings of this article will have relevance for a wide range of stakeholders in women’s rugby, including policymakers and governing bodies.
