Psychometric Testing of the Experience of Integrating Chronic Illness into Family Life Questionnaire.

Family members' experience of integrating chronic illnesses or chronic conditions into family life is valuable information for health care professionals, such as nurses, to understand, improve, and adjust the care provided to families of chronically ill patients. Furthermore, the assessment of the experience of integrating chronic illness into family life can support family nursing interventions and reduce suffering. This study aimed to adapt and psychometrically test a new Likert-type questionnaire on the experience of integrating pediatric chronic illness into family life (EICI-FLQ) in two European samples.

Use of "The Knowledge-to-Action Framework" for the implementation of evidence-based nursing in child and family care: Study protocol.

Nurses are increasingly focused on a practice based on scientific knowledge. However, it is important to distinguish high-quality evidence that can be applied in practice from studies of low or dubious scientific quality. Therefore, nurses must base their practice on structural support that allows for the definition of personalized and context-specific interventions.

Diabetes Mellitus Family Assessment Instruments: A Systematic Review of Measurement Properties.

Unlabelled: Although many instruments are used to assess the families of people with diabetes, their measurement properties have not been systematically reviewed. We aimed to identify and evaluate the psychometric properties of the instruments used to assess family functioning in adults with diabetes.

Methods: A systematic literature review, according to the JBI systematic reviews of measurement properties, was conducted using different databases, including gray literature.

Psychometric Properties of the Portuguese Version of the Iceland-Family Perceived Support Questionnaire in Parents of Children and Adolescents with Chronic Condition.

The support from nurses perceived by family members of children with chronic conditions has been shown to be a protective factor at different levels in a family's health. As such, nurses need to have instruments that assess this perception to increase the quality of the care provided to those families. This methodological study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Portuguese translation of the Iceland-Family Perceived Support Questionnaire (ICE-FPSQ) in parents of children/adolescents with chronic conditions.

Effectiveness of non-pharmacological and non-surgical interventions for rheumatoid arthritis: an umbrella review.

Objective: This umbrella review aimed to determine the effectiveness of non-pharmacological and non-surgical interventions on the impact of rheumatoid arthritis.

Introduction: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have identified seven major domains of the impact of disease: pain, functional disability, fatigue, sleep, coping, emotional well-being and physical well-being. This impact persists in many patients even after inflammatory remission is achieved, requiring the need for adjunctive interventions targeting the uncontrolled domains of disease impact.
