Although, recently, the biopsychosocial approach has been emphasized in the practice of family medicine, how psychologists and physicians interact in collaborative family health care practice is still emerging in Portugal. This article describes a qualitative study that focused on the understanding of psychologists and family physicians' perceptions of their role and the collaborative approach in health care.A questionnaire gathered information regarding collaboration, referral, training and the practice of biopsychosocial medicine. A content analysis on respondents' discourse was performed. Results show that both physicians and psychologists agree on the importance of the biopsychosocial model and interdisciplinary collaboration. However, they also mentioned several difficulties that have to do with the lack of psychologists working full time in health care centers, lack of communication and different expectancies regarding each other roles in health care delivery.Both physicians and psychologists acknowledge the lack of academic training and consider the need for multidisciplinary teams in their training and practice to improve collaboration and integrative care. Implications for future research and for the practice of biopsychosocial medicine are addressed.

Purpose This paper aims to systematically review the current literature on compassion in mental health from a historical, service user and carer (SUAC)/academic researcher perspective with respect to the current paradigm/biomedical model. Design/methodology/approach Searches were conducted in CIANHL Complete, Academic Search Complete, British Education Index, ERIC, MEDLINE, PsycArticles, Scorpus, Proquest Central using a simplified PRISM approach. Findings In the UK, the SUAC-movement facilitated the adoption of more compassionate mental health in statutory services. Across the world, compassion-based approaches may be viewed as beneficial, especially to those experiencing a biomedical model “treatment”. Health-care workers, suffering burnout and fatigue during neoliberal economics, benefit from compassion training, both in their practice and personally. Randomised control trials (RCTs) demonstrate compassion-type interventions are effective, given sufficient intervention timing, duration and design methodology. Psychology creates outcome measures of adequacies and deficiencies in compassion, demonstrating their importance statistically, with reservations. The effective protection of mental health by self-compassion in both SUACs and health care professionals is evident. It is clear from qualitative research that SUACs prefer compassionate mental health. It also makes a large difference to mental health in general populations. Implications for practice and suggestions for future research are given, including a necessity to fund RCTs comparing compassionate mental health interventions with the biomedical model. Unless statutory mental health services adopt this emerging evidence base, medics and their SUACs will continue to rely on pharmaceuticals. Originality/value This is the first integrated literature review of compassion in mental health from a historical, SUAC/academic researcher viewpoint using all research methodologies.

Objective: A literature review was conducted to examine how pharmacy students and technicians have been utilized in medication reconciliation processes in an effort to evaluate expanded roles for pharmacy students and technicians. Data were summarized on accuracy of obtaining medication histories, time requirements, discrepancy identification, and cost savings. Limitations and areas for future research also were identified. Data Sources: A search of PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), and PsycINFO and a manual searching of bibliographies were performed. Study Selection: Articles were included in this literature review if they focused on medication reconciliation with pharmacy student or technician outcomes independent of pharmacist involvement, they are available in English from any country, and the outcomes were empirical. Data Synthesis: Of 2112 identified studies, 32 met the inclusion criteria. The literature review revealed pharmacy technicians or students were involved in several medication reconciliation activities. Trained pharmacy students and technicians were able to obtain thorough medication histories as well as identify medication history discrepancies and take appropriate action to correct these discrepancies. Through the use of pharmacy students and technicians in the medication reconciliation process, hospitals experienced cost savings and other health-care professionals had more time for other patient care activities as well as an increased trust in the accuracy of medication histories. Conclusion: These findings suggest that pharmacy students and technicians are accurate, time efficient, decrease costs, and provide support to other health-care professionals when they are included in the medication reconciliation process.

Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The clinical scope of Covid-19 varies, from asymptomatic, mild symptoms, to clinical conditions characterized by acute respiratory failure. The most common comorbidities in patients with COVID-19 were hypertension (HTN) (56.2%), followed by diabetes mellitus (DM) (30.1%), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) (17.5%). Several studies suggest that diabetes is one of the main risk factors for COVID-19. Therefore, this literature review aims to determine the risk factors for the occurrence of COVID-19 in patients with diabetes mellitus so that it can be used as a consideration for controlling risk factors and better treatment of COVID-19 patients with comorbidities. The method used in this research is literature review and literature search is carried out through the NCBI, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. This research involves as many as 24 library sources from 2020-2021. Several studies have shown that diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for COVID-19. This condition is associated with several macrovascular and microvascular complications that ultimately impact the patient's survival. Diabetes which is a hyperinflammatory condition that can increase susceptibility to COVID-19 with possible mechanisms of chronic inflammation, hypercoagulable state, and activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and dysregulation of the sympathetic nervous system. Future research is urgently needed to provide a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the association between COVID-19 and diabetes, and their clinical management

BACKGROUND Studies on precision health care for older adults with diabetes in Indonesia are still limited. This study was aimed to reach the experts consensus on the suitable precision health care strategies for older adults with diabetes. METHODS A total of 10 experts (4 physicians, 4 nurses, and 2 dietitians) agreed to participate in the 3-round interview using Delphi technique. The experts should have at least 5 years of experience in teaching or working as health professionals in a hospital. RESULTS Consensus was reached that precision health care consisted of eight elements: self-management, interdisciplinary collaborative practice, personalized genetic or lifestyle factors, glycemic target, patient preferences, glycemic control, patient priority-directed care, and biodata- or evidence-based practice. The strategies of precision health care for diabetes were divided into seven steps: conducting brief deducting teaching; assessing self-management level and risk of cardiovascular disease; organizing a brainstorming session among patients to exchange experiences on glycemic target and specific target behavior; making a list of patients’ needs and ranking the priorities; setting a goal and writing action; doing follow-up; and reporting the goal attempts. CONCLUSIONS The eight elements of precision health care provided the basis of precision health care strategies for diabetic older adults, which are the real and measurable strategies for precision health care implementation in clinical settings.

The Family

The occurrence of health issues in the family affected by the ability of the family itself to carry out the role and task of family health care. Family nursing has been developed in various countries as a solution to solve individual, family, and community health issues in a region. The family health status in Indonesia is measured by the Family Health Index (FHI) value, comprising the category of unhealthy families (FHI < 0.50), pre-healthy families (FHI value of 0.50 to 0.80), and healthy families (FHI > 0.8). This study aims to generate a literature review on strategies that can be used to improve the Family Health Index. The search database includes CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar with several keywords: 'family nursing', 'family health', and 'family health status'. 102 articles published between the year of 2000 until 2019 have been obtained. The results of the literature review indicate that family nursing is an innovative and efficient strategy to achieve a preferable health status as well as a better quality of human life. Family nursing has a positive correlation with the increased ability of families to carry out their task in maintaining, preventing and overcoming family health issues independently. Research on the families' ability to carry out health care tasks to improve the health status by measuring FHI has never been done previously. Future research is required to discuss the relationship of families' ability in carrying out the five health care tasks to improve FHI independently in Indonesia.

This study aims to explore the different forms of corporate governance in the health sector, how they interact, and analyze the emerging research trend through a systematic literature review (SLR) in the period 2015-2019. The Scopus and ISI Web of Science databases were used to select the 167 articles analyzed. The coverage of corporate governance research was centred on adapting the PRISMA analysis, highlighting the environment which corporate governance belongs to and analysis of the co-occurrence of the keywords used in the studies. Through Grounded theory, a conceptual model was developed, emphasizing the main attributes that influence governance at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels, in the health area, and raising a future agenda for future research in this area: (1) quality of health care, (2) corporate social responsibility in health, (3) health risk management and (4) global health governance. The results of this research aim to guide governments towards emerging regulatory trends, warning about the risks of the impact of corporate governance on health, or the lack of it, on the quality of services. Analysis of the quality of health care is intrinsically related to the environment, although this aspect has received little attention from researchers.

Barriers To Access

Due to the aging population worldwide, need to access primary health care (PHC) services is increasing. Older adults are at a heightened risk of developing chronic diseases, poor health outcomes, and increased emergency department visits. Living in rural communities also increases the risk of chronicity for older adults due to a lack of PHC resources. However, there is limited information available to provide insight into how healthcare providers can reduce barriers to access to PHC for older adults. As PHC providers, nurse practitioners are in a position to implement strategies to reduce barriers older adults in rural communities face with accessing PHC services. An integrative literature review was conducted to identify barriers nurse practitioners within rural communities can reduce to improve older adults’ access to PHC services. An analysis of the literature revealed the complexity of barriers that prevent older adults from accessing PHC services in rural communities. Environmental, systemic, and individual barriers were reviewed alongside programs and interventions relevant to reducing barriers in the findings. Findings from the literature review suggested strategies to reduce these barriers, which nurse practitioners can promote in the PHC setting. These strategies include virtual care, home visits, nurse practitioner-models of care, interdisciplinary teamwork, and role clarification. In addition to these strategies, implications for practice, limitations of the study and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract Following hurricanes, there can be increases in exacerbations of chronic diseases, such as asthma. Asthma is common among children, and many asthma exacerbations can be prevented. This systematic literature review assessed literature describing the impact of hurricanes on children with asthma in the United States. Medline, Embase, Global Health, PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched for peer-reviewed, English-language articles published January 1990 to June 2019 that described the effect of a hurricane on children with asthma. This search identified 212 articles; 8 met inclusion criteria. All 8 were related to Hurricane Katrina, but research questions and study design varied. Articles included information on asthma after hurricanes from cross-sectional surveys, retrospective chart review, and objective clinical testing. Four articles described discontinuity in health insurance, asthma-related health care, or asthma medication use; and 3 articles examined the relationship between mold exposure and asthma symptoms and reported varying results. The eighth study quantified the burden of asthma among people visiting mobile medical units but did not describe factors associated with asthma symptoms. These results highlight opportunities for future research (eg, on more recent hurricanes) and disaster preparedness planning (eg, strategies to prevent health-care discontinuity among children with asthma).
