Article Synopsis
- Missed nursing care refers to care that is not provided on time, partially done, or completely omitted, with factors like the COVID-19 pandemic possibly worsening this issue.
- This scoping review aims to assess existing research on missed nursing care during the pandemic, analyzing various studies across multiple healthcare settings.
- The review found 25 studies mainly using acute care cross-sectional surveys, highlighting the frequency and causes of missed care, and emphasizes the need for future research that includes longitudinal studies and a broader focus beyond just acute care.
Objectives: This psychometric systematic review aimed to identify the most suitable patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of quality of life (QoL) in people affected by diabetic foot.
Methods: We performed a literature search in MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and PsycINFO (EBSCOhost) databases from inception to February 1, 2022. We also searched gray literature databases.
Background: The Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI) is one of the most prominent multidimensional frailty assessment instruments. This review aimed to critically appraise and summarise its measurement properties.
Methods: Reports were eligible if they included results of studies aimed at developing the TFI or evaluating its measurement properties.
Objective: To explore the perceptions of health professionals about the characteristics of health care for patients with multimorbidity.
Design: Qualitative study of phenomenological trajectory made between January and September 2015 through 3 group interviews and 15 individual interviews.
Location: Aragonese Health Service.
Introduction: An increasing number of investigations highlight the complex nature of frailty; therefore, the use of multidimensional assessment instruments could be useful in clinical decision-making. Frail people are found mainly in the community setting which is why this is the ideal environment for early screening and intervention. For this purpose, it is necessary to have valid, time-effective and easy-to-use frailty assessment instruments.
