Current State of Knowledge on Digital Rectal Stimulation in Individuals With Traumatic and Nontraumatic Spinal Cord Injury: A Scoping Review.

Objectives: To map and characterize the nature of the evidence on the use of digital rectal stimulation for bowel management in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Data Sources: Five electronic databases were searched (ie, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Cochrane Incontinence Group) from 1990 to November 2019.

Study Selection: Articles that provided information on the use of digital rectal stimulation either alone or in combination with treatments were included.

Paediatric gastrostomy stoma complications and treatments: A rapid scoping review.

Aims And Objectives: To provide a scoping review of the types of treatments used to address paediatric skin-related stoma complications specific to infection, hypergranulation and gastric leakage, and explore their effectiveness and indications for use.

Background: Stoma-related complications can be a common occurrence for children with gastrostomy (G) and gastrojejunostomy (GJ) tubes. Nurses require guidance to inform decision-making of the broad spectrum of treatments used in clinical practice.

A Call to Action: Setting the Research Agenda for Addressing Obesity and Weight-Related Topics in Children with Physical Disabilities.

Background: Pediatric obesity is a world-wide challenge. Children with physical disabilities are particularly at risk of obesity, which is worrisome because obesity can result in serious secondary conditions that decrease health status, reduce independence, and increase impact on healthcare systems. However, the determinants of obesity and the health promotion needs of children with physical disabilities are relatively unexplored compared with their typically developing peers.

Optimal Pain Assessment in Pediatric Rehabilitation: Implementation of a Nursing Guideline.

Qualifying organizations are required to implement strategies, evaluate outcomes, and sustain practices aligned with nursing clinical practice guidelines. This study reports on the development and evaluation of a multifaceted implementation strategy to support adoption of a nursing clinical practice guideline on the assessment and management of acute pain in a pediatric rehabilitation and complex continuing care hospital.
