Article Synopsis
- Advance care planning (ACP) is crucial for older adults but is not widely adopted in community aged care settings; recent studies suggest that holistic, person-centered approaches may enhance engagement.
- The EARLI trial is a randomized study involving 12 aged care organizations in Australia, aiming to test a combined life story work and facilitated ACP intervention over two years with participants aged 65 and older.
- By assessing outcomes like ACP engagement, documentation, and emotional well-being, the trial seeks to demonstrate that personalized approaches can improve ACP uptake and ultimately benefit older adults and their families.
Objective: This systematic review seeks to evaluate the prevalence of local symptoms in patients with benign thyroid disease as described in the literature.
Data Sources: A literature search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases.
Review Methods: Crude symptom prevalence was obtained by addition of data across studies that reported local symptoms, and adjusted symptom frequency was calculated using a random effects model.
Background And Objectives: Older people with cognitive impairment are unrepresented in clinical research. Our objective was to review evidence for strategies to support their research inclusion and participation.
Research Design And Methods: Systematic review of published reports of inclusion and participation strategies for older people with cognitive impairment in clinical research (PROSPERO CRD42020212092).
Article Synopsis
- Childhood obesity is a significant public health concern that affects both physical and mental health, making it a challenging topic for Child Health Care (CHC) nurses to address with parents due to stigma and fear of losing trust.
- * The study aimed to explore parents' experiences during conversations with CHC-nurses about their child's overweight status, revealing that this is a sensitive subject for parents who often feel blame and struggle to cope.
- * Findings indicate that both parents and CHC-nurses have differing perspectives on health and weight, suggesting the need for mutual understanding and communication, with a focus on promoting healthy lifestyle choices rather than solely addressing weight.
