What is known from the existing literature about self-management of pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse? A scoping review protocol
Introduction Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can be managed with a pessary; however, regular follow-up may deter women from pessary management due to the inconvenience of frequent appointments, as well as preventing pessary users from autonomous decision-making. Pessary self-management, whereby the woman removes and inserts her own pessary may be a solution to these issues. However, there remains a number of uncertainties regarding the potential benefits and risks of pessary self-management. This scoping review aims to map available evidence about the subject of pessary self-management for POP to identify knowledge gaps provid...

Support programmes for parents of children with intellectual disabilities: a scoping review protocol
Introduction Evidence shows that parents of children with intellectual disabilities experience high levels of stress, emotional challenges and higher levels of depression. Despite these challenges, support for parents has tended to be peripheral in healthcare services of children. There is a lack of research attention given to support programmes for parents of children with intellectual disabilities despite the importance of parenting for the optimal development of children with intellectual disabilities. Methods and analysis This review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methods manual. The search for...

Internet of things platform technology used in undergraduate nursing student education: a scoping review protocol
Introduction Future nursing education needs to build a cutting-edge technology-based educational environment to provide a variety of consumer-oriented education. Thus, the sharing of information in nursing education needs to be considered, especially given the advancement of internet of things (IoT) technology. Before developing a horizontal platform, understanding previously developed IoT platforms is necessary to establish services and devices compatible with each other in different service areas. This scoping review aims to explore the technology used in the IoT platform for the education of nursing students in the unde...

Facilitators and barriers to using smart TV among older adults in care settings: a scoping review protocol
The objective of the scoping review is to understand what has been reported in the literature regarding facilitators and barriers to using smart television (smart TV) among older adults in care settings. Methods and analysis The scoping review will adopt the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology. It will occur between March and August 2022. It will consider literature on using smart TV with older adults in care settings. A three-step search strategy will be applied: (1) to identify keywords and index terms from MEDLINE and CINAHL; (2) to do a search using identified keywords and index terms across chosen data...

Examining the effectiveness of psychological interventions for marginalised and disadvantaged women and individuals who have experienced gender-based violence: protocol for a scoping review
Introduction Exposure to gender-based violence (GBV) has devastating psychological outcomes for victims/survivors. Particularly in conditions where GBV intersects with multiple forms of oppression, the negative impacts of violence are more challenging to overcome and potential pathways for recovery become less accessible. However, evidence regarding the availability and effectiveness of mental health interventions for GBV survivors from marginalised and disadvantaged communities has yet to be systematically integrated and synthesised. The proposed scoping review will examine the relevant literature regarding the availabili...

What is known from the existing literature about self-management of pessaries for pelvic organ prolapse? A scoping review
Conclusions Pessary self-management may offer benefits to some women without increased risk. Some women do not feel willing or able to self-manage their pessary. However, increased support may help women overcome this. Further in-depth exploration of factors which affect women’s willingness to self-manage their pessary is indicated to ensure better understanding and support as available for other conditions.

What are the barriers and facilitators to self-management of chronic conditions reported by women? A systematic review
Introduction Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can be effectively managed using a pessary. A scoping review found that pessary self-management appears to benefit women with no increased risk. Despite this, many are unwilling to self-manage their pessary. At present, there is a lack of understanding about what affects willingness to self-manage a pessary. However, there may be relevant, transferable findings from other literature about barriers to the self-management of other chronic conditions. Therefore, this systematic review aims to identify, appraise and synthesise the findings of published qualitative research exploring the...

Global monitoring of public interest in preventive measures against COVID-19 via analysis of Google Trends: an infodemiology and infoveillance study
Conclusions Sustained interest in preventive measures differed globally, with regional differences noted among Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas. The global differences should be considered for implementing effective interventions against COVID-19. The increased interest in preventive behaviours against COVID-19 may be related to overall infectious disease prevention.

Healthcare professionals perceptions and experiences of physiotherapy for people with mental illness: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-ethnography
Introduction There is a high global prevalence of patients presenting with physical and mental health comorbidities. Physiotherapeutic interventions, such as exercise, can have positive benefits for physical and mental health. However, poor accessibility and negative experiences of healthcare services for those with mental illness (MI) have been consistently observed within literature with recent research identifying poor experiences of physiotherapeutic interactions and processes such as referrals and discharges. One way to help improve physiotherapy services for this population is to understand the personal experiences a...

Correlation analysis of financial conflicts of interest and favourability of results or conclusions in addiction medicine systematic reviews and meta-analysis
Conclusion Although multiple undisclosed financial conflicts of interest were found, there was no correlation with the favourability of the results or discussion/conclusions across all addiction medicine systematic reviews. Further research needs to be done on US-based publications and encourage disclosure systems worldwide to provide more accurate reporting.

Risk and protective factors for self-harm and suicide in children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis protocol
Introduction Self-harm and suicide are major public health concerns among children and adolescents. Many risk and protective factors for suicide and self-harm have been identified and reported in the literature. However, the capacity of these identified risk and protective factors to guide assessment and management is limited due to their great number. This protocol describes an ongoing systematic review and meta-analysis which aims to examine longitudinal studies of risk factors for self-harm and suicide in children and adolescents, to provide a comparison of the strengths of association of the various risk factors for se...

Urinary incontinence in older men: protocol for a scoping review of risk factors
Introduction Urinary incontinence (UI) is common among older men. Epidemiological studies have established many risk factors for UI but these studies are not always specific to men aged 65 and above. The literature is yet to be systematically and comprehensively reviewed to identify UI risk factors specific to these men. Such evidence is required for the development of evidence-based interventions. This scoping review will synthesise evidence regarding UI risk factors in older men. Methods and analysis The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) method for scoping reviews will guide the conduct of this scoping review and its report...
