Mobile government is an emergent phenomenon that represents a solution for many countries to reach their citizens and improve delivery of government-to- citizens' services (G2C). Despite the fact that mobile government benefits are very promising; there are some factors that determine success or failure of mobile government applications. In this study, a systematic review of previous studies using a meta-analysis method was undertaken and a conceptual success factors model for mobile government to citizen services (G2C) was created. Furthermore, the second phase of this study was a survey with 40 academics to validate the use of meta-analysis and validate and refine the conceptual model.

BackgroundPatient experience is positively associated with both clinical effectiveness and patient safety and should be a priority for emergency care providers. While both quantitative and qualitative approaches can be used to evaluate patient experience in the emergency department (ED), the latter is well aligned to develop a detailed understanding of features influencing the lived experience of ED patients. This study aimed to systematically review the literature of qualitative studies to identify determinants of adult patient experience in the ED.MethodsA Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis compliant systematic review was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, BNI and bibliography searches to identify qualitative studies exploring patient experiences in ED published in English between 1997 and 2018. Quality assessment was conducted using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist. Descriptive text and quotations relating to patient experience were extracted from included studies and a meta-synthesis conducted using thematic analysis.ResultsA total of 625 records were screened from which 40 studies underwent full review and 22 were included. Results were coded by two researchers (BG and JML). Meta-synthesis identified 198 discrete units of analysis which were clustered around five analytical themes. These were based on the perceived ‘needs’ of patients visiting the ED and were defined as communication, emotional, competent care, physical/environmental and waiting needs. Findings were translated into a conceptual model for optimising patient experience in the ED.ConclusionThis meta-synthesis provides a framework for understanding the determinants of patient experience in the ED. The resulting conceptual model and recommendations may have the potential to directly inform practice and improve the patient experience.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Mammography is the best method for breast-cancer screening and is capable of reducing mortality rates. Studies that have assessed the clinical impact of mammography have been carried out using film mammography. Digital mammography has been proposed as a substitute for film mammography given the benefits inherent to digital technology. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of digital and film mammography. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHOD: The Medline, Scopus, Embase and Lilacs databases were searched looking for paired studies, cohorts and randomized controlled trials published up to 2009 that compared the performance of digital and film mammography, with regard to cancer detection, recall rates and tumor characteristics. The reference lists of included studies were checked for any relevant citations. RESULTS: A total of 11 studies involving 190,322 digital and 638,348 film mammography images were included. The cancer detection rates were significantly higher for digital mammography than for film mammography (risk relative, RR = 1.17; 95% confidence interval, CI = 1.06-1.29; I² = 19%). The advantage of digital mammography seemed greatest among patients between 50 and 60 years of age. There were no significant differences between the two methods regarding patient recall rates or the characteristics of the tumors detected. CONCLUSION: The cancer detection rates using digital mammography are slightly higher than the rates using film mammography. There are no significant differences in recall rates between film and digital mammography. The characteristics of the tumors are similar in patients undergoing the two methods.

Objective: Infertility influences various emotional, psychological, social, and relational aspects of women’s lives. By employing a systematic review on the papers published in this field, this study aimed to identify the consequences of infertility on psychological and social health of women in Iran. Method: This was a descriptive study, conducted through a systematic review according to the directions denoted by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) in 2018. To investigate the entirety of the published studies on the sociopsychological consequences of women’s infertility in Iran, various databases, including Comprehensive Human Science Portal, Scientific Information Databases (SID), Magiran, National Library and Archives of I. R. IRAN, Noormags, MEDLIB, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Medline, and ProQuest, were explored for the studies published between 1991 and 2018. The selected papers were evaluated according to the content analysis method. Results: Out of the 53 papers investigated, 27 were published in domestic journals (51%), while the remaining 26 papers were published in international journals and were in English (49%). The results revealed that sociopsychological consequences of women’s infertility are categorized in 6 main categories: (1) quality of life, (2) depression, (3) anxiety, (4) social support, (5) violence, and (6) sexual function. Conclusion: The results of this study can be used to design psychocognitive interventions and assist women in decreasing the emerging psychological pain and pressure.

Research aims to determine the form of application of Islamic integration in science education in Indonesia. The method in this research uses a systematic review meta-analysis method. The data used in the study were obtained by collecting journals using the Sinta journals indeks 1 to 6. This time the writer used qualitative techniques and used the prism method. The result showed that in the jourals Sinta 1 to Sinta 6 there were 193 journals found in the search for keywords on science and science education. From 193 journals, it was found that there were 47 articles related to Islam and 10 articles related to the Al-quran. It is concluded that the application of Islamic integration in science education has been carried out quite a lot and has various forms of application of Islamic integration. Researchers found various topics related to Islamic integration. However, the integration of Islam in the form of science learning in Indonesia is still small because the number of resources with a background in humanities and social science is more dominant. The development of Islamic values in education can be done through the development model of teaching materials, methods, or learning approaches.

Abstract Background This study was conducted to determine the current Age Standardized Rate (ASR) of breast cancer and its trend from 1998 to 2018, and relational factors of countries’ development as risk factors in breast cancer occurrence in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Methods Using systematic review and meta-analysis method, data on incidence of breast cancer was collected from various sources including Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, WHO from 1998 to 2018. Pooled ASR was calculated using subgroup analysis according to period of study and quality of data, by applying random effect meta-analysis method. Results 499 data points (76 studies) were analyzed. Pooled ASR of breast cancer for EMR during 2011-2018 was 39.8 per 100,000 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI], 36.01, 43.9). ASR of Breast cancer had an upward trend in EMR from 2005 to 2018; however, the increasing pattern had been somewhat different in various regions based on data quality groups 1998-2018. Pooled ASR had a significant association with Human Development Index [-6.6 (95%CI, -8.9, -4.3)] and obesity [0.1 (95% CI, 0.07, 0.1)]. Conclusion Pooled ASR of breast cancer in EMR is lower than the global average. The ASR value and incremental trend in low-quality data group is higher than others in recent years. The possible reasons for the incremental trend are data quality or physiological ones such as increasing obesity.

Abstract Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common disorder that is known to be the leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the association between PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism and non-alcoholic fatty liver. Methods Following a systematic review and meta-analysis method, articles without any time limitation, were extracted from SID, MagIran, IranDoc, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science (WoS), PubMed and ScienceDirect international databases. Random effects model was used for analysis, and heterogeneity of studies was investigated considering the I2 index and using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results The odds ratio of CC genotype in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver demonstrates the protective effect of CC genotype with the ratio of 0.52, whereas CG genotype presents an increasing effect of CG genotype with the ratio of 0.19, and GG genotype also showed an increasing effect of GG genotype with the ratio of 1.05. Moreover, CG + GG genotypes as a single group demostrated an odds rartio of 0.88. Conclusion This meta-analysis highlights that people with CC genotype has 52% lower chance of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and those with CG genotype had 19% higher risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver. Those with GG genotype were 105% more likely to develop non-alcoholic fatty liver than others. Moreover, those present in a population with CG + GG genotypes were 88% more likely to have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
