Transforming oncology nursing navigation
Oncology nurse navigators play a critical role in addressing patients' physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. However, gaps in existing training programmes often limit the effective integration of holistic care principles and therapeutic relationship skills into clinical practice. Online education offers potential flexibility and scalability, yet evidence regarding its effectiveness for developing these competencies remains limited. Th…
Innovative virtual reality exposure therapy for anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder
Innovative virtual reality exposure therapy for anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder
Background: Anxiety disorders impose a substantial burden on individuals and society, affecting mental health, quality of life, and health care systems. Virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) has emerged as a promising treatment. However, existing meta-analyses often included participants without clinically diagnosed anxiety or related disorders. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of VRET in reducing anxiety, phobia, behavioural symptoms,…
Global prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity among migrant workers
Background: Migrant workers are increasingly recognised as a nutritionally vulnerable population due to unstable working conditions, disrupted food environments, and limited access to health services. However, global estimates of malnutrition in this group remain fragmented. We aimed to identify the global prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity among migrant workers and identify key moderating factors. Methods: and Cochran's Q statistic…
Effects of synergistic tongue and chin resistance training on swallowing function, oral intake, and cognitive function in community-dwelling elderly individuals with frailty
Background: Tongue strengthening exercises (TSE) and chin tuck against resistance (CTAR) improve swallowing function. However, previous findings are limited to post-stroke population, single-mode therapies, and immediate post-test assessment only, while evidence on effects of combined therapies in community-dwelling elderly individuals with frailty is unknown. Therefore, we explored effects of synergistic TSE and CTAR on swallowing function (tong…
The effectiveness of emotion-oriented approaches on psychological outcomes and cognitive function in older adults
Background: Emotion-oriented approaches have demonstrated effectiveness in the care of the elderly. However, related studies have reported conflicting results. We aimed to explore the pooled effect of emotion-oriented approaches on the psychological outcomes and cognitive function of older adults through a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Methods: tests. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Cochrane Ris…
The effect of cognitive training on domains of attention in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia
Efficacy of multi-domain cognitive function training on cognitive function, working memory, attention, and coordination in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia
Background: Cognitive function, working memory, attention, and coordination are higher-level functions sharing a complex relationship. Limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of multi-domain cognitive function interventions to improve cognitive outcomes. We evaluated the effectiveness of such interventions on cognitive function, working memory, attention, and coordination in older adults with mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia. Meth…
Prevalence of sleep disorders among first responders for medical emergencies
Prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia and risk of mortality among hospitalized Covid-19 patients
Prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among first responders for medical emergencies during Covid-19 pandemic
Effect of Work–Family Conflict, Psychological Job Demand, and Job Control on the Health Status of Nurses
Work-family conflicts (WFCs) are common in the healthcare sector and pose significant health risks to healthcare workers. This study examined the effect of WFCs on the health status and nurses' leaving intentions in Taiwan. A self-administered questionnaire was used to survey 200 female nurses' experiences of WFC from a regional hospital. Data on psychosocial work conditions, including work shifts, job control, psychological job demands, and work…
Large-Scale Assessment of Function and Disability in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease Using the Functioning Disability Evaluation Scale-Adult Version
This study assesses the functioning and disability related to Parkinson's disease using the Functioning Disability Evaluation Scale-Adult Version (FUNDES-Adult), based on the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) in a large-scale database; this study describes, discusses and clarifies the predictive factor of not being in an ambulatory status. Of 7455 patients included in this study, 3561 were not ambulatory an…
