The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of telephone interventions as a strategy for glycemic control in adult Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. An integrative literature review was undertaken in April and May 2011 through surveys in the Cochrane, PubMed/Medline, Lilacs and Cinahl databases. Nine studies complied with the inclusion criteria, mainly randomized controlled clinical trials. Concerning the time period analyzed in each study, it varied from eight weeks to twelve months. 1294 patients participated in the study, being 671 randomized to telephone follow-ups and 479 to usual care. In eight studies analyzed, glycemic control was based on the levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The information found showed that the interventions are effective for glycemic control in patients who have type 2 Diabetes. Self-management was improved and possible complications of the disease were reduced.

Anxiety is a feeling of helplessness, and worry about things that are not clear, as well as a comprehensive feeling that something bad is going to happen. Anxiety is experienced subjectively and communicated interpersonally, at the same time feelings of anxiety are a necessary survival instinct. The Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a communicative approach employs a positive view of anxiety and how it can help shape life changes, and that is the topic of this article. This research method uses a Systematic Literature Review, investigating Garuda, Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and Proquest, using boolean for keyword neurolinguistics programming (NLP) and anxiety. The inclusion criteria used were Indonesian and English language articles written within the last 5 years (from 2015 until 2020). The exclusion criteria used by the article were abstract writing style, inaccessible, or lacking national accreditation. Articles were tested with Critical Appraisal Tools. The studies indicate that good communication using NLP can help reduce anxiety and can promote changes in a person’s behavior patterns. There are several NLP techniques including sensory acuity, reframing, anchoring, rapport, and pacing, and leading. NLP can improve knowledge, skills and attitudes, communication skills, self-management, mental health, reduce work stress, and self-efficacy.   Keywords: Anxiety, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, NLP

Background: COVID-19 pandemic condition made the consultation shifted from face to face consultation to telemedicine for mild, stable, and follow up cases. In stabile condition of pregnant patients, telemedicine implementation will be beneficial to reduce the COVID-19 transmission risk. The problems are not all patients can implement telemedicine and the reimbursement procedure was hard. The aim of this paper is to describe about challenges in telemedicine implementation for pregnancy care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: this paper is a literature review, Literature was identified from the archives of PubMed, Scopus, and Elsevier. All the literature was published in 2020. The inclusion criteria were the literature should be peer-reviewed and related to the topic of the paper. Keywords were challenges, COVID-19, opportunities, pregnancy, and telemedicine. Results: from 18 articles in this literature review, it was found that challenges in telemedicine are reimbursement, infrastructure, confidentiality, and unfamiliarity for the pregnant patients. Conclusion: Telemedicine can be used for pregnant patient control consultation during the stable condition to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission. The implication of this paper is to give insight that telemedicine can be done for stable pregnancy condition to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission during the pandemic. The benefits of reducing COVID-19 risk transmission for baby and mother outweigh the challenges and problems such as reimbursement, confidentiality, and technical issues.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze how Quality of Working Life (QWL) / Quality of Life at Work (QLW) has been studied, and assess the Brazilian nursing professionals' satisfaction. METHODS: Articles were selected using the following databases: LILACS; CAPES; DEDALUS; UNICAMP; UNIFESP; and UNESP. The selected studies were analyzed based on some evaluation criteria used in studies about Quality of Life: concepts and domains, used instruments and investigated population. RESULTS: Of the 47 studies found, 17 (36.1%) met the established inclusion criteria. The term QWL/QLW was conceptualized in eight articles (47.0%). Eleven papers (64.7%) pointed out the analyzed domains. The QWL/QLW concept was more related to professional satisfaction, while the most approached domain was payment. Seven instruments were found, and the Index of Professional Satisfaction was the most used (23.5%). CONCLUSION: Generally, there was no consensus among the researched authors regarding the QWL/QLW concept and the domains of the evaluated studies.

Abstract. Aims: To discuss and review the latest research related to gambling expansion. Method: We completed a literature review and empirical comparison of peer reviewed findings related to gambling expansion and subsequent gambling-related changes among the population. Results: Although gambling expansion is associated with changes in gambling and gambling-related problems, empirical studies suggest that these effects are mixed and the available literature is limited. For example, the peer review literature suggests that most post-expansion gambling outcomes (i. e., 22 of 34 possible expansion outcomes; 64.7 %) indicate no observable change or a decrease in gambling outcomes, and a minority (i. e., 12 of 34 possible expansion outcomes; 35.3 %) indicate an increase in gambling outcomes. Conclusions: Empirical data related to gambling expansion suggests that its effects are more complex than frequently considered; however, evidence-based intervention might help prepare jurisdictions to deal with potential consequences. Jurisdictions can develop and evaluate responsible gambling programs to try to mitigate the impacts of expanded gambling.

Alexithymia is a construct defined as the inability to differentiate between emotional experiences and bodily sensations. According to existing knowledge, alexithymia may have a major effect on the process of treatment and the outcome of the hemodialysis disease. The objective of this literature review was to determine the significance that alexithymia has for compliance and variables of clinical and mental health in the population of hemodialysis patients. For the above purpose, bibliographic databases “MEDLINE” and “Web of Science” were searched. The matrix method was used in analysis of articles. Searching both databases resulted in 248 articles. After applying exclusion and inclusion criteria, we included results of 13 articles in the literature review. The results of the search are findings regarding the prevalence and correlation of alexithymia with variables of clinical and mental health in hemodialysis patients. Alexithymia is significantly more common in the population of hemodialysis patients, and it has a negative effect on their mental and somatic health. Alexithymia levels in hemodialysis patients are more pronounced in cases where there is a greater number of comorbidities. Alexithymia is the predictor of high mortality rate in the population of hemodialysis patients, independent of other comorbidities.

The computer science (CS) unplugged approach intends to teach CS concepts and computational thinking skills without employing any digital tools. The current study conducted a systematic literature review to analyze research studies that conducted investigations related to implementations of CS unplugged activities. A systematic review procedure was developed and applied to detect and subsequently review relevant research studies published from 2010 to 2019. It was found that 55 research studies (17 articles + 38 conference proceedings) satisfied the inclusion criteria for the analysis. These research studies were then examined with regard to their demographic characteristics, research methodologies, research results, and main findings. It was found that the unplugged approach was realized and utilized differently among researchers. The majority of the studies used the CS unplugged term when referring to “paper–pencil activities,” “problem solving,” “storytelling,” “games,” “tangible programming,” and even “robotics.”
