Identifying the Key Risk Factors for Adverse Psychological Outcomes Among Police Officers: A Systematic Literature Review.

It is well established that police work is highly stressful; however, a paucity of evidence limits our knowledge and understanding of the factors that may lead to, compromise, and/or compound psychological distress for this unique population. To address this lack, the current systematic review was conducted to reveal the individual, organizational, and operational risk factors that have been identified in the research literature to date and their associations with depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and burnout. We performed searches on literature published between January 2008 and January 2018 and identified a total of 20 studies that met our inclusion criteria.

Does assistive technology contribute to social inclusion for people with intellectual disability? A systematic review protocol.

Introduction: The aim of this review is to answer the following question: Previous research on assistive technology has focused on socioeconomic impacts such as education, employment and access to healthcare by people with intellectual disability. There is a need to consolidate evidence on the interaction between intellectual disability, assistive technology, community living and social inclusion.

Methods And Analysis: The review will consider studies from all settings: geographical, socioeconomic and care (institutional and community care), published in English.

Factors that influence obesity, functional capacity, anxiety and depression outcomes following a Phase III cardiac rehabilitation programme.

Aims And Objectives: To examine changes in functional capacity, anxiety, depression and BMI in patients who completed a cardiac rehabilitation programme and to determine the influencing factors.

Background: While the effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation is long established, more studies are needed to examine the combined effectiveness of this multicomponent intervention and the factors that influence this in the changed profile of patients currently attending cardiac rehabilitation.

Design: The study was a longitudinal retrospective study of patients following a six- or eight-week Phase III cardiac rehabilitation programme.

Changes in diet, exercise and stress behaviours using the stages of change model in cardiac rehabilitation patients.

The behavioural changes initiated during Phase III cardiac rehabilitation programmes were recorded using Prochaska and Diclemente's "stages of change" model. This study aimed to ascertain if changes were initiated, maintained or further developed during Phase III programmes and 6 months after the programmes with a view to ascertaining the usefulness of this tool in providing stage matched individualised care. The risk factors examined were: exercise, diet and stress.

Cognitive change 5 years after coronary artery bypass surgery.

A longitudinal study of cognitive function after coronary artery bypass surgery examined 107 participants using 11 tests, preoperatively and at 6 days, 8 weeks, and 5 years after surgery. The overall neuropsychological (NP) change score declined at 6 days, showed some recovery at 8 weeks, and declined again at 5 years. The number of microemboli recorded during surgery, postoperative short-term cognitive change, and degree of recovery at 8 weeks were identified as predictors of change in NP score to 5 years.
