Abstract Introduction: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a serious health problem which is considered as a silent epidemic. Early rehabilitation interventions are among significant factors affecting the functional improvement, reduction of disability and impairment in patients. Initial observations indicate evidence for the effectiveness of such interventions; however, there is no related systematic review study conducted so far. The main objective of the present study is to investigate the prevalence of the interventions and to determine the effectiveness of such interventions on functional outcomes for patients with TBI. Methodology: In order to find related studies, several data bases such as Embase, Medline, Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science and also Gray Literature are observed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are designed and modified by a team of experts. Observation of the content of the titles and abstracts will be done by two reviewers and then the data will be extracted and evaluated. All the studies published in English between 1990 and 2019 were included. Primary outcomes include the frequency of early rehabilitation interventions and the effects of such interventions on functional outcomes. If possible, meta-analysis will be conducted as well. Discussion: The results of this systematic review study will contribute to identification and clarification of different types of rehabilitation interventions and the effects of such interventions on TBI patients’ functional outcomes.

Objective This review was aimed at systematically synthesizing and appraising the existing literature of sociodemographic, macroeconomic, and health resources factors on life expectancy. Methods A systematic literature search of English databases, that is, PubMed/MEDLINE were scrutinized for exploring sociodemographic, macroeconomic, and health resources factors on life expectancy. The literature search was conducted in January 2020, covering a total of 46 articles from 2004 to 2019 met the review criteria, which were fully discussed subsequently. Findings Among sociodemographic factors, infant mortality rate, literacy rate, education level, socioeconomic status, population growth, and gender inequality have a significant impact on life expectancy. Gross domestic product, Gini, income level, unemployment rate, and inflation rate are the main macroeconomic factors that significantly correlated with life expectancy. Among various health care resources, health care facilities, the number of the health care profession, public health expenditure, death rates, smoking rate, pollution, and vaccinations had a significant correlation with life expectancy. Conclusions The systematic review showed general conformity of different studies, with a significant association between life expectancy and factors comprising several sociodemographic, macroeconomic, and various health care variables. This review found that only one study examined factors affecting life expectancy in Arabic countries. More studies on this region to fill this research gap were highly recommended.

AbstractObjectivesThis study was performed to determine the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of health care workers (HCWs) towards radiation protection.MethodsIn this systematic review study, three international databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus) were searched for related published articles in the English language from 1 January 2000 to 1 February 2020. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Hoy et al. tool.ResultsOut of the 1,848 studies examined, 41 studies that were performed on 11,050 HCWs were included in the final stage. The results indicated that in most studies, more than half (50%) of the participants had average knowledge. Furthermore, 60% of the participants had a positive attitude, but in most studies, they had average practice regarding radiation protection. The most important recommendation for improving KAP among the participants was incorporating radiation protection standards in the student curriculum.ConclusionConsidering the results of the study, further attention should be paid to proper education regarding radiation protection standards and improvement of HCW performance.

The Impact

Abstract Background Nowadays, a growing literature reveals how patients use informal payments to seek either better treatment or additional services, but little systematic review has been accomplished for synthesizing the main factors. The purpose of this study was to analyze the content of literatures to demonstrate the factors for informal patient payments. Methods In this systematic review study, PubMed, Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, Science Direct, Ovid, Scopus, and Iranian databases were investigated without time limitation for eligible English and Persian studies. Achieved data were analyzed using content analysis approach and MAXQDA 10 software. Results Themes related to informal payments in external context of health system were demographic features of health service consumers, patient’s personality features and social & cultural backgrounds of the community. Health system challenges’ themes were about stewardship weakness, and sustainable financing and social protection weakness. These were followed by human resources’ organizational behavior challenges, drugs, medical products, and services delivery provision process challenges and finally change management weakness for reducing and dealing with IPs. Conclusion It appears that improving the quality of health care services and accurate monitoring of delivery processes, along with performing some strategies for regulating payroll and medical tariffs, strict rules and regulations and improving health staff motivation, would be effective ways against informal payments. Improving the health insurance contribution, promoting transparency & accountability in health system especially in financing, identify precise control mechanism, using empower patient/public related approach, modifying community perception, reinforcing social resistance to unofficial payments and rebuilt lost social capital in health care are some of the other recommendations in this field. To practice these strategies, a comprehensive and systemic vision and approach is needed, however, the key point is that before applying any strategy the impact of this strategy on access, efficiency, equity, and other health systems’ goals and policies should be investigated due to the consideration.
