Abstract Background: The illness of mental health workers in the forensic area has multifactorial causes, but among the main ones is the stress resulting from legal factors at work, such as workload; bylaws; wage; promotion; resignation; assignments; safety rules; legislation for the promotion, prevention and protection of health in the workplace; regulation of risky activities, as they significantly vary the health-disease process of health personnel by directly interfering with their work mode and rhythm. Evidence shows that it is the population group more prone to stress, physical and mental exhaustion, and suicide, unlike the rest of the population. It is noteworthy the fact that 90% of the world population suffers from stress, according to the World Health Organization. Given the growth of primary research on the subject and its importance in the various health outcomes, it is necessary to start processes of compilation and synthesis of this evidence to facilitate understanding of the importance of legal factors as stressors to the work routine of health professionals in the forensic area. Methods: The studies included will be original qualitative and quantitative research articles. This systematic review protocol will be conducted in accordance with the Cochrane Manual and will follow PRISMA-P guidelines. Searches will take place from August 2021 to October 2021 and will be performed from the following electronic databases: APA PsycNet, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Oxford Journals and ScienceDirect. Two reviewers will obtain eligible articles, published from 1990 to 2020, to assess the quality of each study and extract data. A narrative and qualitative synthesis will be used to analyze the primary results, and choose the articles relevant to the research objective. Discussion: The results of this review will contribute to a better understanding that stress in the workplace is not restricted to clinical and organizational factors, but also occurs as a result of legal factors. This expanded understanding of the causes of work stress can better support discussions on the reformulation of legislation related to prevention, promotion and recovery of workers' health effectively. Ethics and dissemination: Ethics committee approval is not required for a systematic review protocol. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed health or social science journal.

Review Protocol

Understanding the dimensions of internal and external validities (e.g., using the RE-AIM model: Reach, Effectiveness/Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) of school interventions is important to guide research and practice in this context. The aim of this systematic review protocol is to synthesize evidence on the RE-AIM dimensions in interventions based on the Health Promoting School (HPS) approach from the World Health Organization (WHO) in Latin America. Studies of interventions based on HPS-WHO that were carried out in Latin America involving the population of 5 to 18-year-olds will be eligible. Searches in nine electronic databases, a study repository, the gray literature, and the retrieved articles’ reference lists will be performed, without year or publication language limits. Study selection and data extraction will be conducted by independent researchers. Data on intervention implementation will be summarized in categories of HPS-WHO actions: (1) school curriculum, (2) changes in the social and/or physical environment of schools, and (3) actions with families and the community. A previously validated tool will be used to summarize the information on the dimensions of the RE-AIM model. The strengths and limitations of the included studies will be evaluated using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) tool, and the confidence level of evidence will be assessed according to the GRADE CERQual tool.

Review Protocol

Abstract Background: Depression is a chronic condition of high prevalence in the world population and associated with functional disability and compromises the physical health of affected individuals. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), depression is associated with disability, there is not enough energy for positive feelings or associated with stagnation, when there is energy, but the flow of energy and emotions is blocked. Deficiency is also associated with excess in manic depression or irregularity in depression associated with anxiety. Auricular acupuncture, also known as auriculotherapy, it is part of a set of techniques based on TCM. For this, the auricular pavilion is related to 12 meridians, stimulating points in the ear and restoring the balance between blood and Qi (energy or vital force).Methods: This is a systematic review protocol for clinical trials prepared in accordance with the guidelines of the protocol Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA-P). Studies in which participants have any depressive disorder, diagnosed through standardized criteria such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) and other diagnostic criteria used internationally will be included. There will be no restrictions on age, gender, ethnicity, education or economic status. Studies will be accepted that have as experimental intervention any type of auricular acupuncture (using needles, seeds, magnetic stones, lasers, ultrasound, bleeding or electrical treatment). The control interventions that will be considered for the studies will be conventional medical treatment for each depressive disorder, no treatment, placebo and other active therapies. Discussion: Auricular acupuncture can be a potential alternative complementary treatment, it is low cost and has minimal side effects presented until now. With this review we hope to complete gaps in the knowledge of auricular acupuncture, promoting an updated and comprehensive synthesis of research on this topic. Record of systematic review: In accordance with the guidelines, our systematic review protocol was registered with the International Prospective Registry of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) on 10/27/2020 (registration number CRD42020211302).

The Impact

Sub-Saharan Africa, has the highest child mortality rate in the world (World Health Organization [WHO], 2016). However, there is a paucity of current systematic reviews on the impact of essential newborn care interventions in Africa. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to summarize evidence about the impact of essential newborn care interventions in Africa. Numerous databases were searched to retrieve articles that reported interventions in newborn care in Africa. The search was limited to the English language and to articles published between 2007 and 2017. Nine articles were selected for inclusion in this systematic review. Overall, these papers demonstrated an increase in performance of health workers (between 8 and 400%) following a test of knowledge, while health workers practical performance increased by 34%. Moreover, neonatal mortality was reduced by 45%, while perinatal mortality was reduced by 30%. Training healthcare workers is one of the most effective ways of improving newborn care and neonatal survival in Africa. However, there is a need for additional evidence to support this, because none of the reviewed studies assessed the impact of training by examining variables such as trainees' satisfaction with training, the knowledge and skills developed, and the health outcomes achieved.
