Interpregnancy weight change and neonatal and infant outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To synthesize evidence regarding the association between interpregnancy weight change (IPWC) in consecutive pregnancies and neonatal or infant outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy.

Methods: Search strategy was implemented in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library from their inception to 13 November 2023. The most adjusted odds ratio (OR) or risk ratio estimates provided by original studies were used to calculate pooled risk ratios and their corresponding 95 % confidence intervals (CI) with the DerSimonian and Laird random effects method.

Efficacy of the use of video games on mood, anxiety and depression in stroke patients: preliminary findings of a randomised controlled trial.

Background: In the different published studies, there is no consensus on the efficacy of virtual reality as an adjuvant treatment of mood states.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of no immersive virtual reality with the Nintendo Switch device in rehabilitation treatment on mood, anxiety and depression in stroke patients admitted to neurorehabilitation units.

Methods: Fifty-eight patients admitted to neurorehabilitation units underwent a 1:3 multicentre randomised clinical trial.

Impact of virtual reality-based therapy on post-stroke depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Post-stroke depression is the most common neuropsychiatric consequence and reduces rehabilitation effectiveness. However, the efficacy of virtual reality (VR) on mental health treatment for patients after a stroke is uncertain.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of VR as a co-adjuvant form of treatment to reduce depression in stroke patients admitted to neurorehabilitation units.

[Protocolo para la evaluación de una intervención de alfabetización en salud sobre morbimortalidad y calidad de vida en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca.].

Objective: Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that impairs the ability to achieve proper filling or ejection, in which patients have typical symptoms and signs. It is a major Public Health problem with a high incidence and prevalence associated with high morbidity and mortality. The management of the patient with HF is complex, requiring in its treatment the work of specialized multidisciplinary teams in which the management of cardiac-healthy habits and self-care will play a leading role.

Efficacy of the therapeutic use of video games on the depressive state of stroke patients: Protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To assess the effects of virtual reality (VR) on the depressive state of patients with stroke admitted to neuro-rehabilitation units. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

Methods: Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) focusing on the effects of virtual reality on depressive state as a primary outcome will be included.

Great geriatric syndromes: Acquisition of nursing competencies and undergraduate nursing students' perceptions through high-fidelity simulation training.

Background: The constant increase in the aging population will lead to a greater demand for high-quality nursing care for this population over the coming years. Early detection and proper treatment of great geriatric syndromes are essential and, consequently, geriatric nurses must acquire the necessary competencies for their adequate management.

Objectives: To evaluate the acquisition of the necessary nursing competencies for adequate management of great geriatric syndromes through high-fidelity simulation training and to explore undergraduate nursing students' perceptions about this training.

Off-label and unlicensed drug use in a pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary care Spanish hospital. A descriptive study.

Introduction. In pediatric intensive care units, a large number of drugs are used, many of which are prescribed for condition beyond those established in their summary of product characteristics (off-label and unlicensed drug prescriptions). The objective of this study was to describe drug use and estimate the prevalence of off-label and unlicensed drugs in a pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary care Spanish hospital.

The effects of high-fidelity simulation training on empathy and attitudes toward older people among undergraduate nursing students: A quasi-experimental study.

Aim: To evaluate the effects of high-fidelity simulation training on attitudes towards older people and empathy among undergraduate nursing students.

Background: People worldwide are living longer and, consequently, the number of older people is increasing globally. Geriatric syndromes are highly prevalent and associated with increased morbidity and mortality in this population.
