Background: Independence is a widely used concept by the most practical areas of health knowledge, being essential to know its real meaning for subsequent application. Method: Scoping review based on the recommended principles by Joanna Briggs Institute and by the conceptual analysis method from Walker and Avant. Careful research was realized in the databases: Scopus, CINAHL complete, and MEDLINE. Two independent reviewers evaluate the relevance of the articles' understudy, the extraction, and article synthesis.Results: One hundred and two articles were included, after the application of the inclusion criteria. The majority of the authors define independence as the physical capacity for self-care and for the realization of the daily activities. Other authors, confuse independence with autonomy, referring to independence as the cognitive capacity, financial capacity, social capacity, and decision capacity.Conclusions: Independence includes the ability to perform self-care and daily living activities. Introducción: La independencia es un concepto muy utilizado por las áreas más prácticas del conocimiento en salud, siendo fundamental conocer su significado real para su posterior aplicación.Método: Revisión de alcance basada em los princípios recomendados por el Instituto Joanna Briggs y por el método de análisis conceptual de Walker y Avant. Se realizó uma cuidadosa investigación en las bases de datos: Scopus, CINAHL complete y MEDLINE. Dos revisores independientes evalúan la relevancia de los artículos en estudio, la extracción y síntesis del artículo.Resultados: Se incluyeron ciento y dos de los artículos, luego de la aplicación de los criterios de inclusión. La mayoria de los autores definen la independencia como la capacidad física para el autocuidado y para la realización de las actividades diarias. Otros autores confunden independencia com autonomia, refiriéndose a la independencia como capacidad cognitiva, capacidade financiera, capacidad social y capacidad de decisión.Conclusiones: La independencia incluye la capacidad para realizar actividades de autocuidado y de la vida diaria.

Introduction: Today, design and development of smartphone applications is growing, rapidly. Health  care applications have developed as a means of teaching, health promotion, patients’ self-care and controlling the nutrition of diabetic patients. Objectives: Identify the functionality of smart applications in the mobile platform for controlling, teaching and healthy lifestyles in the field of nutrition for diabetic patients. Method: Current review was conducted on the mobile platform to consider the functionalities of available applications to support the diabetic patients with the intelligent tools.  The results of inclusion criteria (such as nutrition, weight control, blood pressure, education and interactive analysis tools) were evaluated and organized in the form of a scoping review.  All applications in the systematic search were independent of both operating systems. The search samples were found in May 2018 by experts of medical informatics. Findings: 273 potential applications were identified according to the results of the inclusion criteria with evidence based strategies and systematic evaluations to find the apps for diabetic patients. Approximately 29% of apps in both stores (79/273) met primary assessment criteria. Of these, 40 % of apps (32/79) excluded of more consideration due to lack in the most criteria of this study. The remaining apps are described as follows: 8% of total apps (22/273) and 4% of the apps (11/273) met general criteria and all criteria (including general and special) in the Google play store, respectively.  Only 2 apps met general criteria with the Apple iOS while none of them covered with special criteria according to the objectives of this study. Conclusion: There are various applications for control, education, and self-care in diabetes. Google is an acceptable platform for developers interested in examining interactive apps and techniques in disease control, education and healthy lifestyle programs.

Abstract Scholarship on ethnicity and old age is at a crossroad now that increased diversity is a given in older populations. The same holds true for the study of inequalities in old age as it relates to ethnicity and race. This presentation relies on a scoping review of scholarship published between 1998 - 2017 (n=336) that brings attention to the ways in which ethnicity/ race – as grounds for stratification and disadvantage - are made sense of in this scholarship. The presentation will describe the topics that the review divulged when it comes to the study of health and social care (i.e. access and usage; attitudes, preferences and experiences; assessment of programs suitability and self-care practices). In doing so, this presentation will argue that if we are to address the inequalities that older ethnic minorities face we need not only a diversity-astute research agenda but also an injustice-aware one.

Background: Symptom perception in heart failure has been identified as crucial for effective self-care that is a modifiable factor related to decreased hospital readmission and improved survival. Aims: To review systematically the heart failure symptom perception literature and synthesise knowledge on definition, description, factors and instruments. Methods: We conducted a scoping review including studies reporting patient-reported symptom perception in adults with heart failure. Structured searches were conducted in Medline, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, PsychINFO, Web of Science, Cochrane, JBI and grey literature. Two authors independently reviewed references for eligibility. Data were charted in tables and results narratively summarised. Results: The search yielded 3057 references, of which 106 were included. The definition of heart failure symptom perception comprised body listening, monitoring signs, recognising, interpreting and labelling symptoms, and furthermore awareness of and assigning meaning to the change. Symptom monitoring, recognition and interpretation were identified as challenging. Symptom perception facilitators include prior heart failure hospitalisation, heart failure self-care maintenance, symptom perception confidence, illness uncertainty and social support. Barriers include knowledge deficits, symptom clusters and lack of tools/materials. Factors with inconsistent impact on symptom perception include age, sex, education, experiences of living with heart failure, comorbidities, cognitive impairment, depression and symptom progression. One instrument measuring all dimensions of heart failure symptom perception was identified. Conclusion: Heart failure symptom perception definition and description have been elucidated. Several factors facilitating or hampering symptom perception are known. Further research is needed to determine a risk profile for poor symptom perception – which can then be taken into consideration when supporting heart failure self-care.

IntroductionIn recent years, increasing methodological references have been used in scientific research; these are points of support in the search for evidence, formulation and elaboration of instruments, scales, guideline and protocols. However, significant variability currently exists in scoping review conduct and reporting, thus limiting the potential of the methodology to advance research and practice about skin self-care of people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Our objective was to perform a scoping review protocol within the health rehabilitation context of people with SCI, focusing on skin self-care.Methods and analysisThe protocol was developed by using the scoping review methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O’Malley and further refined by the Joanna Briggs Institute, incorporating insights from more recent innovations in scoping review methodology. Sensitive searches of 13 electronic databases from 2007 to 2017 will be supplemented by grey literature searches. Two reviewers using a tool developed for this scoping review will screen eligible studies.Ethics and disseminationThe scoping review will undertake a secondary analysis of previously collected data and does not require ethical approval; however, the ethical precepts of copyright will be respected. The results will facilitate a better understanding of the practical health rehabilitation context of people with SCI, the impacts of these rehabilitations and how to build an evidence base for this work in the future.
