BACKGROUND Competence in neonatal resuscitation of the newborn is very critical to ensure the safety and health of the newborn infants. Effects of acquisition of neonatal resuscitation skills improve self-efficacy, thereby reducing neonatal mortality as a result of asphyxia. About one-quarter of all neonatal deaths globally are caused by birth asphyxia. The need for neonatal resuscitation is most imperative in a resource-constrained setting, where access to intrapartum obstetric care is inadequate and poor. OBJECTIVE The protocol describes the methodology of a scoping review on evidence of training in neonatal resuscitation and its association with practice in low-resources countries. The aim of the review is to map available evidence of neonatal resuscitation training proficient on unskilled birth attendants practice. METHODS This scoping review protocol uses the framework proposed by Arksey & O’Malley and refined by Levac et al, published by Joanna Briggs Institute while following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Review Protocols guidelines. The search strategy was developed with the assistance of the college librarian. Five peer-reviewed data-bases (EBSCOhost (PsychINFO, Wiley online), PubMed, MEDLINE with full-text, Google Scholar (Science Direct), CINAHL Plus with full text EBSCOhost), databases committed to grey literature sources, and reference extraction will be used. Two independent reviewers will screen and extract data. Discrepancies will be resolved by the third reviewer. The extracted data will undergo a descriptive analysis of contextual data and a quantitative analysis using appropriate statistical methods. RESULTS NULL CONCLUSIONS NULL

Introduction – Addictive behavior can be defined by a person's compulsion to engage in a continuous activity or behavior, despite the negative impact on their ability to remain mentally and/or physically healthy and functional in the home and community. The person may find the behavior rewarding psychologically and be satisfied while involved in the activity, but later he may feel guilt, remorseful or even be overwhelmed by the consequences of this choice on an ongoing basis1. Addressing this complexity requires multidisciplinary approaches and a range of responses and devices that, articulately and congruently, act in the various aspects of this phenomenon.Objective – This review aims to map programs or interventions in a community context with an impact on the cessation / reduction of addictive behaviors in adults, as well as to identify the characteristics of the participants and the contexts of implementation.Inclusion criteria – Will be considered published and unpublished primary and secondary studies on programs/interventions with an impact on the cessation/reduction of addictive tolls in adults between 18 and 40 years of age in community context, written in Portuguese, Spanish, or English, between 2013 and 2019.Methods – The Scoping Review will be carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR. From the objective and research questions, the databases and research repositories will be selected, CINAHL Plus with full text (via EBSCO) and MEDLINE with full text (via PubMed), SciELO, Scopus JBI Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Systematic Reviews and Scientific Repositories; OpenGrey (European repository) and Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal (Portuguese repository) using all pre-defined Boolean keywords, terms and expressions, to identify studies with inclusion criteria. Duplicate documents will be deleted. The selection of articles will be made by two reviewers independently by reading the title, abstract and full text. The extraction and synthesis of the data will also be performed by two reviewers independently through the analysis grid previously created for this purpose, based on the model of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The data synthesis will be presented in a narrative and table format.

IntroductionAgeing is a natural process marked by physiological changes and declines in functional capacity. One strategy to encourage healthy habits in older people is the use of applications on mobile devices to promote physical activity (PA). An immediate challenge is for these applications to be accessible to older people themselves, while a second challenge is to retain their interest and engagement in connection with PA itself. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to map the factors related to the adoption and adherence of PA mobile applications by older people.Methods and analysisFive databases will be searched where articles and reviews, available between 2010 and present, in English, Portuguese or Spanish, at full text, will be included. In addition, two additional strategies will be performed, including grey literature. The search terms adoption, adherence, factors, mobile application, PA, older people and other terms related to them will be used in the search strategy. This review will include studies that identify factors related to the adoption and adherence to PA mobile applications by people over 60 years. The selection of studies will be carried out by two reviewers in five stages: identification of studies and duplicate removal; pilot test; selection by reading abstracts; inclusion by reading the full text and search in additional sources. Disagreements will be resolved by a third reviewer. Data will be extracted using a data extraction tool. Quantitative data will be described in a narrative manner and qualitative data will be categorised through inductive thematic analysis.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval is not required for this scoping review. Plans for the dissemination of the review include the presentation of the results at relevant scientific conferences and the submission and publication in significant journals.

IntroductionCutaneous burns can have a catastrophic effect on people’s lives and may restrict opportunities for employment due to physical impairment and psychosocial deficits. Failure or delay in return to work can result in loss of income and support for the family unit. It can also negatively affect life role and identity and present difficulties with future opportunities. Current literature indicates multiple discrete influences on return to work as a result of burn injury but an understanding of how working-aged adults resume employment after burn injury is lacking. This scoping review will provide a comprehensive overview of the current literature by mapping and consolidating knowledge in this area of burn recovery and thus provide an informative basis for developing return-to-work programmes for survivors of burn injury.Methods and analysisThis scoping review protocol will follow the Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) methodological framework. A comprehensive search strategy has been developed with subject expert librarians. These databases were used: OvidSP: Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and EBSCOhost: CINAHL and Scopus. Reference lists of selected full text will be hand searched for additional literature. To enhance consistency and rigour, all reviewers will undertake a calibration exercise before paired reviewers independently screen all records using Rayyan. Full-text articles meeting the study inclusion criteria will be retrieved and examined. Extracted data will be analysed using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval is generally not required for scoping reviews. Findings of this scoping review will be reported in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at conferences.

Abstract Background: Indigenous youth worldwide are at greater risk of developing mental health concerns due to ongoing inequity and disadvantage. Digital mental health solutions are identified as a potential approach to improving access to mental health treatment for Indigenous youth, with evidence of acceptability and effectiveness beginning to emerge. Although collaborative design, development and evaluation is widely recognised as necessary to improving the acceptability of these tools, there is limited evidence to guide engagement of Indigenous youth in these processes. The objective of this scoping review is to map evidence regarding the collaborative involvement of Indigenous youth in the design and/or evaluation of digital mental health interventions. Methods: Scoping review methodology includes six stages, 1) identifying research question; 2) identifying relevant studies; 3) developing a study selection and data extraction method; 4) charting the data; 5) collating, summarising and reporting results. Additionally, Step 6) consultation, engages a male and female Indigenous health researcher in reviewing protocols, analysis and findings, enhancing credibility and ensuring findings are informed by Indigenous worldviews. Searches for relevant literature are undertaken in the following databases: EBSCOhost databases (Academic Search Premiere, Computer and Applied Science complete, CINAHL Plus with Full text, MEDLINE with full text, APA PsychArticles, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences collection, APA PsychInfo), PubMed, and Scopus. In addition, Infomit and Google (limited to the first 200 results) are searched for grey literature. All primary studies and grey literature in English that meet eligibility criteria are included. Data, including; study methods, methodologies, digital mental health program details, participant information and engagement and reporting processes are extracted and included for analysis. Data extraction variables are guided by the Consolidated Criteria for Strengthening Reporting of Health Research (CONSIDER statement). This statement provides a best practice checklist for reporting research involving Indigenous peoples. This scoping review protocol has been registered with Open Science Framework (available via osf.io/2nkc6).Discussion: To date, there are no reviews which critically analyse engagement of Indigenous youth in the development and evaluation of youth-specific digital mental health interventions. This review will aim to fill that gap and appraise alignment of current practice with best practice guidelines to inform future research. It will highlight appropriate strategies for the engagement of youth in collaborative processes, providing guidance for health practitioners, policy makers, and researchers working in the field of Indigenous youth and digital mental health.

Introduction: Optimizing the safety of obstetric patient care is a primary concern for many hospitals. Identifying performance indicators that measure aspects of patient care processes related to preventable harms can present opportunities to improve health systems. In this paper, we present our protocol for a scoping review to identify performance indicators for obstetric safety. We aim to identify a comprehensive list of obstetric safety indicators which may help reduce the number of preventable patient harms, to summarize the data and to synthesize the results. Methods and analysis: We will use the methodological framework described by Arksey and O Malley and further expanded by Levac. We will search multiple electronic databases such as Medline, Embase, CINAHL and the Cochrane Library as well as websites from professional bodies and other organisations, using an iterative search strategy. We will include indicators that relate to preventable harms in the process of obstetric care. Two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts of search results to determine eligibility for inclusion. For records where eligibility is not clear, the reviewers will screen the full text version. If reviewers decisions regarding eligibility differ, a third reviewer will review the full text record. Two reviewers will independently extract data from records that meet our inclusion criteria using a standardized data collection form. We will narratively describe quantitative data, such as the frequency with which indicators are identified, and conduct a thematic analysis of the qualitative data. We will compile a comprehensive list of patient safety indicators identified during our scoping review and organise them according to concepts that best suit the data such as the Donabedian model or the Hospital Harm Framework. We will discuss the implications of the indicators for future research, clinical practice and policy making. We will report the conduct of the review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA ScR) Checklist. Ethics and Dissemination: The sources of information included in this scoping review will be available to the public. Therefore, ethical review for this research is not warranted. We will disseminate our research results using multiple modes of delivery such as a peer-reviewed publication, conference presentations and stakeholder communications.

BACKGROUND Sepsis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early detection of septic patients followed by rapid treatment initiation improves patient outcomes and saves lives. Hospitals are increasingly utilizing computerized clinical decision support (CCDS) systems for the rapid identification of adult septic patients. OBJECTIVE This scoping review aimed to systematically describe studies reporting on the use and evaluation of CCDS systems for early detection of adult sepsis inpatients. METHODS The protocol for this scoping review has been previously published. Ten electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, The Cochrane database, LILACS, Scopus, Web of Science, OpenGrey, clinicaltrials.gov, and PQDT) were comprehensively searched to identify relevant studies. Title, abstract, and full-text screening were performed by two independent reviewers using predefined eligibility criteria. Data charting was performed by one reviewer with a second reviewer double checking a random sample of studies. Any disagreements were discussed with input from a third reviewer. In this review we present the results for adult inpatients, including studies that do not specify patient age. RESULTS A search of the electronic databases retrieved 12139 studies following duplicate removal. We identified 124 studies for inclusion after title, abstract, full-text screening, and hand-searching were complete. Nearly all studies (n=121, 97.6%) were published after 2009. Half the studies were journal articles (n=65), and the remainder were conference abstracts and theses (n=54 and 5 respectively). Most studies used a single cohort (n=54; 43.5%) or before-after (n=42; 33.9%) approach. Of all 124 included studies, patient outcomes were the most frequently reported outcomes (n=107; 86.3%), followed by sepsis treatment and management (n=75; 60.5%), CCDS usability (n=14; 11.3%), and cost outcomes (n=9; 7.3%). For sepsis identification, the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria were the most commonly used, either alone (n=50; 40.3%), combined with organ dysfunction (n=28; 22.6%) or combined with other criteria (n=23; 18.5%). Over half of the CCDS systems (n=68; 54.8%) were implemented alongside other sepsis-related interventions. CONCLUSIONS The current body of literature investigating the implementation of CCDS systems for the early detection of adult sepsis inpatients is extremely diverse. There is substantial variability in study design, CCDS criteria and characteristics, and outcomes measured across the identified literature. Future research on CCDS system usability, cost, and impact on sepsis morbidity is needed. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT RR2-10.2196/24899

Abstract Objective Inadequately treated pain and distress elicited by medical procedures can put children at higher risks of acute and chronic biopsychosocial sequelae. Children can benefit from hypnotherapy, a psychological tailored intervention, as an adjunct to pharmacological agents to address the multiple components of pain and distress. Despite providing evidence on the effectiveness and potential superiority of hypnotherapy to other psychological interventions, research on hypnotherapy for paediatric procedural pain and distress has been predominantly limited to oncology and needle procedures. Plus, there is a lack of reporting of intervention manuals, factors influencing hypnotic responding, pain unpleasantness outcomes, theoretical frameworks, adverse events, as well as barriers and facilitators to the feasibility of delivering the intervention and study procedures. The proposed review aims to map the range and nature of the evidence on hypnotherapy for procedural pain and distress in children to identify gaps in literature and areas requiring further investigation. Methods This review will follow the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) methodology and incorporate additional scoping review recommendations by The Joanna Briggs Institute and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses. Relevant studies will be identified through searching published literature databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science) and grey literature in addition to hand-searching of reference lists and key journals. Two authors will independently screen titles and abstracts of search results followed by full-texts review against eligibility criteria. Conclusion Findings are anticipated to guide future research and inform the development of tailored hypnotic interventions in children.
