Objectives: The objective of this review is to identify, appraise, and synthesize available evidence on the experiences of informal caregivers providing HIV and/or AIDS care and the experiences of care received by people living with HIV and/or AIDS (PLHIV) in sub-Saharan Africa.
Introduction: PLHIV share the burden of the disease with their informal caregivers throughout their lives. Experiences of HIV- and/or AIDS-related caregiving and care receiving have a significant impact on the treatment and physiological health outcomes of both care receivers and caregivers. However, there is limited evidence regarding how caregiving approaches and caregiving experiences influence HIV and/or AIDS care.
Inclusion Criteria: This review will consider qualitative studies on informal caregivers providing HIV- and/or AIDS-related care and PLHIV receiving care in sub-Saharan Africa. Eligible studies will focus on positive and negative experiences of informal caregivers and PLHIV throughout the HIV/AIDS caregiving continuum.
Methods: A comprehensive search strategy will be developed to retrieve relevant articles from Ovid MEDLINE (R), Embase (Ovid), PsycINFO (Ovid), and CINAHL (EBSCOhost). The review will be conducted by 2 independent reviewers using the JBI approach to perform study selection, critical appraisal, data extraction, assessment of confidence, and data synthesis.

Children with neurodevelopmental disabilities living in rural and low-resourced regions within the United States, such as Appalachia, face gaps and barriers to accessing healthcare services due to a shortage of providers, specialists, hospitals, and clinics. Without access to specialized medical and rehabilitation services, their performance across developmental domains and participation within their communities is likely suboptimal. The purpose of this study was to identify both intrinsic and extrinsic factors using a mixed-methods approach to better understand factors that may impact performance across developmental domains and participation for children with disabilities living in Appalachia.

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) serve as critical life-sustaining therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure awaiting heart transplantation, significantly improving survival rates and enabling social reintegration. However, many patients with LVAD face multiple challenges in their daily lives and social reintegration, such as anxiety about the device, low societal awareness, and economic and psychological burdens. In Japan, where prolonged waiting periods for heart transplants are inevitable, these challenges further exacerbate the economic and psychological burdens on both patients and caregivers.
