Smartphone use, e.g., on social network sites or instant messaging, can impair well-being and is related to clinical phenomena, like depression. Digital detox interventions have been suggested as a solution to reduce negative impacts from smartphone use on outcomes like well-being or social relationships. Digital detox is defined as timeouts from using electronic devices (e.g., smartphones), either completely or for specific subsets of smartphone use. However, until now, it has been unclear whether digital detox interventions are effective at promoting a healthy way of life in the digital era. This systematic literature review aimed to answer the question of whether digital detox interventions are effective at improving outcomes like health and well-being, social relationships, self-control or performance. Systematic searches of seven databases were carried out according to PRISMA guidelines, and intervention studies were extracted that examined timeouts from smartphone use and/or smartphone-related use of social network sites and instant messaging. The review yielded k = 21 extracted studies (total N = 3,625 participants). The studies included interventions in the field, from which 12 were identified as randomized controlled trials. The results showed that the effects from digital detox interventions varied across studies on health and well-being, social relationships, self-control, or performance. For example, some studies found positive intervention effects, whereas others found no effect or even negative consequences for well-being. Reasons for these mixed findings are discussed. Research is needed to examine mechanisms of change to derive implications for the development of successful digital detox interventions.

This article presents findings from a literature review concerning grandparenting in healthcare. Using qualitative content analysis, data were collected from CINAHL and organized in three categories: transition to grandparenthood; grandparental roles; and grandparental health and well-being due to transitions and roles. The review demonstrated a growing number of studies on grandparents rearing grandchildren and sparse studies on other issues. Grandparenting is discussed in a human caring paradigm as a phenomenon based on love and care, and as containing suffering that gives health problems. Directions for future research encompass how nurses include grandparents in the care of the sick grandchild.

Käyttäytymisen muutokseen tähtääviä kohdennettuja, kansalaisten, ryhmien ja yhteisöjen osallistamista hyödyntäviä menetelmiä on kuvattu lupaaviksi keinoiksi terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin edistämisessä. Tällaisten interventioiden taloudellista arviointia on tehty kuitenkin melko vähän. Taloudellinen arviointitutkimus on systemaattista toimintaa, jossa tunnistetaan, mitataan ja verrattaan vaihtoehtoisten interventioiden kustannuksia ja vaikutuksia. Tähän kirjallisuuskatsaukseen etsittiin tietoa ja tuloksia ikääntyneille suunnatun sosiaalisen markkinoinnin tehokkuudesta. Sosiaalista markkinointia kuvataan käyttäytymisen muutokseen tähtääväksi prosessiksi, jonka alkuperä on kaupallisen markkinoinnin ohella myös sosiaali- ja yhteiskuntatieteissä. Katsauksen aineiston muodostavat yhdeksän kansainvälistä taloudellista arviointitutkimusta, jotka valikoituivat kriteerien mukaan lopulliseen analyysiin. Arvioitujen interventioiden tavoitteet liittyivät ikääntyneiden terveyden edistämiseen ja/tai sairauksien ennaltaehkäisyyn. Katsauksessa arvioitiin myös taloudellisten arviointitutkimusten laatua. Tutkimusten tulosten yhteenvetoa hankaloittavat erot interventioiden tutkimusasetelmissa, arviointinäkökulmissa, vaikuttavuuden mittaustavoissa sekä kansallisiin palvelujärjestelmiin liittyvät erot. Tuloksiin liittyvästä epävarmuudesta huolimatta tutkimusten tulokset viittaavat siihen, että sosiaalista markkinointia hyödyntävät interventiot voivat olla vaikuttavia ja potentiaalisesti myös kustannus-vaikuttavia ikääntyneiden terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin edistämisessä. Economic evaluation of social marketing interventions targeting older adults – A scoping literature review Behavioural change methods that seek to involve individuals, groups, and communities have been described as a promising approach to promote health and well-being. Yet, only few economic evaluation studies are found. Economic evaluation is a systematic attempt to identify, measure and compare the costs and outcomes of alternative interventions. The aim of this literature review was to analyse the previous evidence on the cost-effectiveness of social marketing targeting older adults and the elderly. Social marketing has been described as a behavioral change approach that has its origins both in commercial marketing and social sciences. The review is based on nine international economic evaluation studies, which were selected for the final analysis based on eligibility criteria. Objectives of the evaluated interventions involved health promotion and/or illness prevention targeting older adults. The second aim of this review was to assess the previous economic evaluation studies. Summarising the research findings is impeded by the variation in research designs, the perspectives for the evaluation, the methods used to measure effectiveness, and the differences in health care and welfare systems between national states. Despite these uncertainties, the international research indicates that interventions applying social marketing techniques appear to be effective and potentially cost-effective approach to promote health and well-being of older adults.

Objective: The objective is to determine reported cases of co-creation methodology about the use of smart technologies in public spaces in order to create new forms of social interactions and practices, which in turn creates new socio-spatial relations and promotes interactions and communication between isolated and disperse communities.   Methods: The literature published in the last 5 years (2016-2020) has been reviewed. Searches on Co-creation methodology and ICTs in Health and Biomedicine, on topics such as interaction among users, ICT and social behaviour, spatial analyses, planning methodologies and public involvement, on-line gaming, self‐learning, and the prevention of risky habbits are made manually. Results: Search strategies developed through electronic databases and manual search identified a total of 180 references, included in the supplementary material. They have been divided by the technologies used in the studies, co-creation methodology, and according to the type of socio-medical application. This research highlights the penetration of ICT in social and healthcare environments and clearly demonstrates the high number of publications that have come out over recent years and a lack of publications that evaluate co-creation methodology in this field. Conclusions: Most of the papers included only partially cover the subject matter of ICT in Health and Biomedicine and how to use smart technologies to transform public spaces in small communities into people-friendly human environments. The research carried out for this paper clearly demonstrates the high number of publications concerning technology assessment. However, there is a distinct lack of publications that evaluate co-creation methodology.

Objectives: Although a range of factors shapes health and well-being, institutionalized racism (societal allocation of privilege based on race) plays an important role in generating inequities by race. The goal of this analysis was to review the contemporary peer-reviewed public health literature from 2002-2015 to determine whether the concept of institutionalized racism was named (ie, explicitly mentioned) and whether it was a core concept in the article. Methods: We used a systematic literature review methodology to find articles from the top 50 highest-impact journals in each of 6 categories (249 journals in total) that most closely represented the public health field, were published during 2002-2015, were US focused, were indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE and/or Ovid/MEDLINE, and mentioned terms relating to institutionalized racism in their titles or abstracts. We analyzed the content of these articles for the use of related terms and concepts. Results: We found only 25 articles that named institutionalized racism in the title or abstract among all articles published in the public health literature during 2002-2015 in the 50 highest-impact journals and 6 categories representing the public health field in the United States. Institutionalized racism was a core concept in 16 of the 25 articles. Conclusions: Although institutionalized racism is recognized as a fundamental cause of health inequities, it was not often explicitly named in the titles or abstracts of articles published in the public health literature during 2002-2015. Our results highlight the need to explicitly name institutionalized racism in articles in the public health literature and to make it a central concept in inequities research. More public health research on institutionalized racism could help efforts to overcome its substantial, longstanding effects on health and well-being.

Till the time one has not loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unborn. Animal Assisted Therapy can be used in amalgamation with other forms of therapy. The animal becomes an assimilation of the therapeutic plan with AAT. Many psychological disorders have been shown to react well to Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT). The article is a concise literature review on Animal Assisted Therapy of database available from the studies that were integrated and provided a general understanding of the perceived benefits of Animal Assisted Therapy and includes topics that are categorised as an Introduction to Animal Assisted Therapy: how it can help people with disorders, it’s utilisation in therapeutic practice and its relation to our health and well-being. Papers were considered eligible if they satisfied the following pre-determined criteria: (1) Talked about Animal Assisted Therapy in context to well-being of an individual, (2) Talked about implications of Animal Assisted Therapy in context to disorders and (3) Showed benefits of Animal Assisted Therapy in counselling. This paper further provides an overall review of Animal Assisted Therapy. Relevant data was summarized and collated to make a narrative account of the findings that animal in the therapy would not make it more difficult, but rather make it easier, the therapist be aware of any animal-related allergies when employing animals as adjuncts and animals can help have a better emotional and physical healing experience by the patient

This data descriptor summarizes the process applied and data gathered from the contents of 87 peer-reviewed papers/sources reporting on the contribution of public green infrastructure (PGI), in the form of public parks and urban nature spaces, in the context of city liveability and general human health and well-being. These papers were collected in a systematic literature review that informed the design of a questionnaire-based survey of PGI users in Perth, Western Australia. The survey explored visitor satisfaction with the amenities and facilities of the PGI space, and perceptions of the importance of such spaces for city liveability. Papers were sourced by searching over 15,000 databases, including all the major English language academic publishing houses, using the ProQuest Summon® service. Only English language peer-reviewed papers/editorial thought pieces/book chapters that were published since 2000 with the full text available online were considered for this review. The primary search, conducted in December 2016, identified 71 papers, and a supplementary search undertaken in June 2018 identified a further 16 papers that had become discoverable online after the completion of the initial search.
