Rogers-Clark, Janis M Doolan","doi":"10.11124/01938924-201109200-00001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11124/01938924-201109200-00001","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUND The growing demand on health services due to an ageing population and people living with complex chronic illnesses necessitates an integrated and evidence based care approach. In times of acute illness, trauma or difficult life situations, for many older people the Emergency Department is the first port of call. Despite the benefits of presenting to the Emergency Department, this environment can also be challenging for the older person, particularly those who are frail and have cognitive impairments. Emergency Department nurses play a pivotal role in tailoring the care of the older patient that specifically meets their needs, enhances their level of comfort and decreases the risk of additional distress unrelated to their presenting illness. OBJECTIVES The objective of this systematic review was to determine the best available evidence in relation to age-friendly nursing interventions in the management of older people presenting to the Emergency Department. INCLUSION CRITERIA Participants considered for this systematic review included older people aged over 65 who were cared for in the Emergency DepartmentNurse led interventions that enhanced older people's comfort during their stay in Emergency Department, specifically in relation to nutrition, hydration, pressure area care, pain management and communication.Studies using quantitative research methods as well as opinion based papers were considered for this systematic review.Outcomes were assessed in relation to the effectiveness of nursing interventions on pressure area status, hydration status, nutritional status and pain status measured during their stay in the Emergency Department. The text and opinion part of the review focused on the recommended policies for age-friendly nursing interventions. SEARCH STRATEGY An extensive search of the literature was undertaken to retrieve any English language material published and unpublished materials between January 1999 to October 2010. METHODOLOGICAL QUALITY All included articles were assessed by two independent reviewers using the appropriate critical appraisal instruments from the Joanna Briggs Institute. DATA COLLECTION Data were extracted from included papers using data extraction tools developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. DATA SYNTHESIS Data were synthesised and pooled according to their methodological approach, using standardised JBI instruments. Due to the methodological diversity and limited data found, quantitative data were combined in narrative summary. A meta-synthesis was undertaken for the opinion based data. RESULTS A total of 16 papers were included in the review, two research articles, seven expert opinion and another seven policy documents. This resulted in the identification of 39 findings, which were grouped into seven categories, which were further aggregated into two synthesised findings.

METHODS Five databases for published literature were searched for the period 1990 to 2009. Additionally, the reference lists of all retrieved articles were further searched for additional references. Assessment for methodological quality was undertaken using a critical appraisal tool from JBI-SUMARI. Following the critical appraisal, data extraction was carried out using the data extraction tool from JBI-MAStaRI. Specific details about the study, design, data collection methods, participants, stage of therapy, type of adverse drug reaction, location of evidence and findings were then described and compiled into a table. Data synthesis was presented in a narrative format as the methodologically heterogeneous nature of the quantitative studies made it not appropriate to perform meta-analysis. RESULTS Eleven included studies, mostly descriptive, formed the basis of this systematic review. The ADRs induced by oral dexamethasone that have a poorer outlook in adolescents with ALL than in children with ALL are: transient hyperglycemia, infectious complications, thrombosis, thromboembolism and avascular necrosis. Adolescents were observed to have higher incidence and risk to these ADRs. In some included studies, adolescence age was found to be a predictor of the ADRs. CONCLUSION The results indicated that adolescents experience more severe ADRs induced by oral dexamethasone during ALL treatment than children. This phenomenon may be explained by the age-related variability in pharmacokinetics characteristics of dexamethasone between the adolescents and younger children as well as the impact of pubertal changes that occur in adolescents. The outcome of the ADRs however, may be inevitably affected by the presence of confounders such as co-administered drugs as well. IMPLICATION FOR PRACTICE The findings call for more attention to be given to ALL patients who are diagnosed at an adolescent age, especially when dexamethasone is administered. This will alert the healthcare professionals to watch for the ADRs when administering the treatment. Healthcare professionals should also inform caregivers and patients so that they can be more aware of the ADRs. IMPLICATION FOR RESEARCH Prospective studies involving a larger number of subjects should be carried out, with a focus on revising protocol's efficiency in monitoring dexamethasone-induced ADRs in ALL patients. Patient subgroups who are more vulnerable to such ADRs and often ignored in non-specific protocols should be identified and prophylactic interventions, such as early screening, proposed.","PeriodicalId":91723,"journal":{"name":"JBI library of systematic reviews","volume":"9 11 1","pages":"371-399"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.11124/jbisrir-2011-93","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63416556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information about treatments for upper limb coordination deficits and their effectiveness may contribute to improved recovery of upper limb function after stroke. REVIEW OBJECTIVES INCLUSION CRITERIA: We included studies with a specific design objective related to coordination of the hand and arm during reach to grasp and involving participants with a clinical diagnosis of stroke. The review was inclusive with regard to study design. To determine effectiveness of interventions we analysed studies with coordination measures that exist within impairment measurement scales or specific kinematic measures of coordination. SEARCH STRATEGY The search included The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library); MEDLINE; EMBASE; CINAHL; AMED; ProQuest Dissertations and Theses (International) and ISI Proceedings (Conference) databases. A grey literature search included Mednar, Dissertation International, Conference Proceedings, National Institute of Health (NIH) Clinical Trials and the National Institute of Clinical Studies. We also explored PEDro, CSP Research and REHABDATA therapy databases. Finally, the reference lists of identified articles were examined for additional studies. The search spanned from 1950 to April 2010 and was limited to English language papers only. CRITICAL APPRAISAL The methodological quality of the studies was assessed by two independent authors using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Comparable Cohort/ Case Control and the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Experimental Studies together with additional questions from Downs and Black DATA EXTRACTION: Two review authors independently extracted data from the studies using standardised JBI-MAStARI data extraction forms. DATA SYNTHESIS Pooling of results was not appropriate so the findings were summarized in tables and in narrative form. RESULTS One RCT, two case control studies and 4 experimental studies without controls were included in this review. The review has identified three categories of potential interventions for improving hand and arm coordination after stroke; functional therapy, biofeedback or electrical stimulation and robot or computerised training. In view of the limited availability of good quality evidence and lack of empirical data this review does not draw a definitive conclusion for the second question regarding the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving hand and arm coordination after stroke. Improvements in hand and arm coordination during reach to grasp were reported in 4 studies, whereas one study found no benefit. Two studies did not report specific effects of interventions for hand and arm coordination after stroke.

Identifying evidence-based management strategies are essential to ensure an optimum stroke rehabilitation outcome. Currently, there are limited management strategies of constipation in stroke. OBJECTIVE The objective of this review was to determine the effectiveness of non-surgical management strategies for constipation in adults with stroke. SELECTION CRITERIA This review included studies of people of 18 years of age or more with a clinical diagnosis of stroke and symptoms of constipation defined by Rome Foundation.This review included studies that evaluate any types of non-surgical management of constipation in an adult person with stroke.The following comparisons were made where possible:This review considered studies that included bowel evacuation as the outcome measure. TYPES OF STUDIES All randomised controlled trials or other quantitative research designs were considered in the absence of RCTs. SEARCH STRATEGY A comprehensive search of eight major databases and all reference lists of relevant articles in English was performed from January 1990 up to March 2011. DATA COLLECTION & ANALYSIS Two reviewers independently assessed methodological quality using a standardised critical appraisal tool. Data was extracted from included studies using a standardised data extraction tool. There was heterogeneity in the types of intervention and outcome measures and statistical pooling of the findings was not appropriate. As such, the studies were grouped according to types of intervention where possible and the findings were presented in narrative form. MAIN FINDINGS The review included two randomised controlled trials and one quasi-experimental study. All studies were small and most were of poor quality. A one-off structured nurse assessment and intervention can be effective in improving symptoms of bowel dysfunction in stroke subjects. Targeted educational approach with written materials can result in long term lifestyle changes such as modifying diet and fluid intake to control bowel (one trial). Daily bowel care with digital stimulation may assist in achieving regular bowel evacuation but not within a shorter time frame (one trial). Time-scheduled bowel evacuation which follows premorbid bowel habit is considered to contribute to the efficacy of a bowel management program. Morning bowel program schedules are more effective than evening schedules in establishing effective bowel movement pattern (one trial). CONCLUSION The management strategies are limited due to insufficient evidence. The available evidence to support these treatments is only modest and not without methodological flaws. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE It is recommended that bowel management programs should incorporate a nursing component (assessment and education interventions) to improve symptoms of bowel dysfunction. The recommended optimal time for bowel evacuation schedule is in the ","PeriodicalId":91723,"journal":{"name":"JBI library of systematic reviews","volume":"9 64 1","pages":"2875-2914"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63415299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
