  • Oncology care humanization in adults: a scoping review protocol
    Publication . Lopes, Ana Sofia; Ribeiro, Ana Lúcia; Lamas, Bárbara; Santos, Daniela; Fernandes, Davide; Silva, Rosa; Marques, Paulo
    Objective: The goal of this review is to identify and map health professionals’ attitudes and behaviors that promote humanization of the care provided to adults with cancer, regardless of disease stage or treatment nature, in all health care provision contexts. Introduction: In the challenging context of oncology care, it becomes imperative to adopt a humanized care paradigm. This paradigm should foster a relationship of respect and compassion between health professionals and people, and its interventions should be sensitive to their values, culture, and human dignity. Inclusion criteria: Studies involving health professionals’ attitudes and behaviors focused on promoting humanization of the health care provided to people with oncological diseases will be considered for this review. Methods: This review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. Publications will be identified via MEDLINE Complete, CINAHL Complete, MedicLatina, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Scopus, and Web of Science. Additionally, backward and forward citation searches will be conducted, as will a thorough investigation of the gray literature. The studies identified will be screened by 2 independent reviewers based on their title and abstract, and then reviewed at the full-text level. The data will be extracted using a tool developed by the authors. The results will be summarized and presented in tables accompanied by a narrative summary.
  • A case study on experiences with integrated technologies in a care home for older adults
    Publication . Jøranson, Nina; Zechner, Minna; Silva, Rosa; Yaylagul, Nilufer Korkmaz; Thygesen, Hilde
    To facilitate independent living for the growing population of older adults, innovative housing solutions such as novel concepts of care homes with integrated technologies have been developed. This case study exposes a significant gap between the intended goal of fostering independence in older adults and the actual impact of technology on their daily lives. The study explored perceptions, experiences, and needs regarding residents' use of integrated technologies along with the technologies' contribution to handling their everyday life in a Care+ home. Data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis. The key finding is that one size does not ‘fit’ all, indicating that the standardized technology installed in the apartments often fails to meet the users’ individual needs. This research identifies a critical gap in tailoring technologies to the unique needs of older users. Aligning technological solutions with aging-in-place policies focused on autonomy and well-being is essential for enhancing care environments.

    Publication . Rodrigues, Joana Filipa Cunha; Santos, Diana Gabriela Simões Marques dos; Rocha, Susana Maria Moreira da; Carvalho, Carla Isabel Mota de; Santos-Costa, Paulo; Gil, Isabel Maria de Assunção; Silva, Rosa Carla Gomes; Silva, Rosa Carla Gomes da
    Background: The number of people with dementia increases significantly with age. However, non-pharmacological interventions, such as cognitive stimulation, can slow this process down. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of individual cognitive stimulation interventions on the cognition, quality of life, and neuropsychiatric symptoms of older adults with dementia, as well as on the quality of the relationship between the older adult with dementia and the caregiver. Methodology: A 12-week quasi-experimental study was conducted. The cognitive stimulation program “Make a Difference 3” was administered to older adults with dementia living in the community. Outcomes of interest were assessed before and after the intervention. Results: There were statistically significant improvements in neuropsychiatric symptoms (p = 0.042) and cognition (p = 0.038) after the program was administered. Conclusion: This type of intervention should be widely disseminated and administered as it promotes gains in older adults with cognitive impairment.
  • Experienced barriers in the use of ICT for social interaction in older adults ageing in place: a qualitative systematic review protocol (SYSR-D-22–00848)
    Publication . Jøranson, Nina; Zechner, Minna; Yaylagul, Nilufer Korkmaz; Efthymiou4, Areti; Silva, Rosa
    Background Several information and communication technologies (ICT) have been developed to enhance social connectedness of older adults aging in place, although they are not accessible for all. Barriers in using ICT might for example relate to health issues, sensory loss, lack of technical skills, or reluctance to use technologies. Though knowledge on these barriers is crucial for the development and implementation of ICT for older adults, no systematic review was found on this subject. The proposed qualitative systematic review aims to explore barriers experienced by older adults aging in place in using ICT for social interaction. Methods The review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology. Databases for search will include MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL (via EBSCO), and Web of Science (ISI), among others. Included studies focus on older adults ageing in place 60 years or older. Pairs of authors will independently, by following agreed guidelines, assess the eligibility of studies, and extract data. The testing of eligibility criteria and screening of titles, abstracts, and full texts will be performed. The findings will describe for example populations, context, culture, and the phenomena of interest. Qualitative research findings will, where possible, be pooled by using JBI SUMARI for the meta-aggregation approach. Discussion The mapping of published studies has the potential to identify research gaps in the existing literature, which again may inform developers and stakeholders in designing more user-friendly and adaptive ICT solutions for older people ageing in place.
  • Psychoeducation Programs to Reduce Preoperative Anxiety in Adults: A Scoping Review
    Publication . Oliveira, Palmira; Porfírio, Catarina; Pires, Regina; Silva, Rosa; Carvalho, José Carlos; Costa, Tiago; Sequeira, Carlos
    Background: Surgical procedure is a critical event that causes anxiety for patients. One of the possible intervention strategies to reduce anxiety in the preoperative period is psychoeducation. Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR to map knowledge about psychoeducation programs to reduce preoperative anxiety in adults. The data were extracted by the researchers, according to the objective of the study. Finally, the data synthesis was presented in narrative format and tables. Results: four studies were included in the review with different characteristics of psychoeducation programs. The approach of these programs consisted of teaching about anxiety, instruction and training in anxiety control techniques. The contents referred to included the surgical process and intervention techniques to reduce anxiety. Program sessions lasted from 45 to 150 min, with a frequency of 1 to 6. The assessment instrument used was the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The dynamisers were nurses, psychotherapists and clinical psychologists. Conclusions: Psychoeducation programs can be useful and effective in reducing anxiety. More studies are needed to confirm these results.

  • Nursing Professional Self-Concept: A Scoping Review Protocol
    Publication . Almeida, Inês Franco; Bernardes, Rafael Alves; Sousa, Liliana Baptista; Santos-Costa, Paulo; Silva, Rosa / Silva, Rosa Carla Gomes da; Bernardo, Joana; Santana, Elaine; Rosa, Amorim
    Nurses are considered one of the largest professional groups in healthcare, generating positive health outcomes for people at various stages of life. A significant impact on the construction of the professional self—or professional self-concept—is considered to exist through the educational process, influenced by factors such as the family and societal expectations often presented by teachers, tutors, and peers. Improving professional self-concept in nursing can offer specific gains in personal, relational, social, and interpersonal communication skills, favoring evolution in the academic and clinical path. This scoping review aims to map the literature related to the state of knowledge regarding professional self-concept in nursing. This scoping review will follow JBI recommendations with the PCC mnemonic and report its findings through PRISMA-ScR using a specific instrument made by the researchers. Providing healthcare complying with high scientific standards requires the professional to have enough self-confidence in his work and skills. The explicit acknowledgement of professional self-concept is essential for any educational tutor or experienced mentor to promote mental health and academic and professional performance.
