Background: Relocation is a very important event in people's lives in general, but really significant in old age. However, some predictors of relocation still need to be improved. The objective of this review was to synthesize qualitative evidence to understand the reasons of the participants to decide on the place of care of the older people.
Methods: Systematic review of qualitative studies was conducted in six databases: Scopus, SciELO, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science and CINAHL, from its beginning until 29 November 2017. Qualitative or mixed studies, written in English or Spanish and addressing the decision-making process (already experienced by participants) on the place of care of older persons (65 years or older), were included in the review. PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42018084826).
Results: A total of 46 articles were finally included in the analysis. Our main result is the distinction of multiple reasons for each population group involved in the decision-making process, ranking these reasons into three factors: Retention, pull and push.
Conclusion: This differentiation allows for a more detailed and in-depth analysis of the motivations of the different groups involved in this process.

Background: Anxiety during pregnancy is linked to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, as well as dissatisfaction with childbirth, and may contribute to the development of postpartum depression. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mindfulness-based counselling on the anxiety levels and childbirth satisfaction among primiparous pregnant women.
Methods: This two-group, parallel, randomized controlled trial involved 60 eligible primiparous pregnant women who were referred to health centers in Kermanshah province (western Iran).
Background: For patients with head and neck cancer who have undergone microvascular free flap surgery, securing a tracheostomy collar onto the neck using the traditional method (ie, with tracheostomy ties) is contraindicated because the ties may compress the newly vascularized tissue. However, no clear guidance exists for the use of other methods in these patients. Current techniques often use safety pins, which can cause injury to staff members.

Our goal was to estimate the effect of expiration of a state-level eviction moratoria on adverse maternal and infant outcomes among Medicaid insured individuals residing in states with a state-level moratorium in place at conception in the United States.
