Use of patient-reported experience and outcome measures within the colorectal cancer care continuum: a scoping review.

Objective: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) are frequently adopted to evaluate colorectal cancer (CRC) care, but the use of patient-reported experience measures (PREM) appears to be underdeveloped and not widely validated. This scoping review aims to understand the contexts for deployment of PREMs in CRC care, reliability of measures, gaps in current use of PREMs, and how PREMs are associated with PROMs when deployed together.

Methods: Four scientific databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus) were systematically searched from January 2011 to December 2023.

Understanding the mental health impact of COVID-19 in the elderly general population: A scoping review of global literature from the first year of the pandemic.

Self-isolation was common in the first year of COVID-19. While necessary, it also increased vulnerability to adverse mental health among elderly (i.e.

How can we better evaluate paediatric progression of myopia and associated risk factors? Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review.

Purpose: During the COVID-19 pandemic, home-based and remote learning-particularly using electronic devices-was rapidly pushed out. Increased near-work, screen time exposure and lack of outdoor time are risk factors that contribute to childhood myopia, but it is difficult to adopt recommendations from prior publications as a consistent limitation in the literature is the heterogeneity of research methodology. This review seeks to systematically evaluate how observational studies published during the pandemic have quantified and measured risk factors and myopia in school-going children and adolescents.

Intergenerational Hypertension Prevention Education for Children and Family Members: A Longitudinal Assessment.

Introduction: Many adults are unaware of hypertension risks. Fortunately, hypertension is preventable with lifestyle modifications and regular blood pressure (BP) monitoring. Through reverse socialization (RS), children, acting as information agents, can potentially influence adults' long-term health behaviours.

Qualitative factors influencing breast and cervical cancer screening in women: A scoping review.

Breast and cervical are top cancers for women globally, but few studies have summarised how gender norms influence screening uptake, given sexual connotations and physical exposure. These beliefs may play a central role in decision-making, and understanding them is crucial to improving screening rates and services. This review scopes international literature for gender-based qualitative factors influencing women's screening uptake.

Perceived barriers and facilitators in using text and voice messaging for improving HIV and sexual and reproductive health of female entertainment workers in Cambodia: a qualitative study.

Background: Female entertainment workers (FEWs) in Cambodia are one of the hard-to-reach populations at risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and poor sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Due to the stigmatizing nature of their work, it is difficult to reach them with prevention and treatment services. The Mobile Link project is a mobile health (mHealth) intervention that aims to deliver health messages to FEWs and link them up to health services.

Epihack Sri Lanka: development of a mobile surveillance tool for dengue fever.

Background: Dengue is a serious problem around the globe, with 3.9 billion people at risk of the disease. Sri Lanka has recently seen unprecedented rates of dengue with 4.

A Comparison between the Predictors of Vaccine Uptake Intentions for Influenza and Dengue.

Infectious diseases have a huge health and economic burden globally. Vaccination has been found to be a crucial health intervention for diseases. The study aims to compare the drivers of vaccine uptake for influenza and dengue, and to understand the key drivers within each of the diseases in predicting vaccine uptake intentions.
