The Pivotal Role of Host Organizations in Enhancing Mentoring in Internal Medicine: A Scoping Review.

In undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, mentoring offers personalized training and plays a key role in continuing medical education and the professional development of healthcare professionals. However, poor structuring of the mentoring process has been attributed to failings of the host organization and, as such, we have conducted a scoping review on the role of the host organization in mentoring programs. Guided by Levac et al's methodological framework and a combination of thematic and content analysis, this scoping review identifies their "defining" and secondary roles.

Evaluating assessment tools of the quality of clinical ethics consultations: a systematic scoping review from 1992 to 2019.

Background: Amidst expanding roles in education and policy making, questions have been raised about the ability of Clinical Ethics Committees (CEC) s to carry out effective ethics consultations (CECons). However recent reviews of CECs suggest that there is no uniformity to CECons and no effective means of assessing the quality of CECons. To address this gap a systematic scoping review of prevailing tools used to assess CECons was performed to foreground and guide the design of a tool to evaluate the quality of CECons.

Assessing mentoring: A scoping review of mentoring assessment tools in internal medicine between 1990 and 2019.

Background: Mentoring's success in enhancing a mentee's professional and personal development, and a host organisations' reputation has been called into question, amidst a lack of effective tools to evaluate mentoring relationships and guide oversight of mentoring programs. A scoping review is proposed to map available literature on mentoring assessment tools in Internal Medicine to guide design of new tools.

Objective: The review aims to explore how novice mentoring is assessed in Internal Medicine, including the domains assessed, and the strengths and limitations of the assessment methods.

Nurturing professionalism in medical schools. A systematic scoping review of training curricula between 1990-2019.

Professionalism is an evolving, socioculturally informed multidimensional construct that influences doctor-patient relationships, patient satisfaction and care outcomes. However, despite its clinical significance there is little consistency in how professionalism is nurtured amongst medical students. To address this gap a systemic scoping review of nurturing professionalism in medical schools, is proposed.

Personalised eHealth interventions in adults with overweight and obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Given that many existing electronic health (eHealth) interventions with a general approach have limited effects, a personalised approach is necessary. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of personalised eHealth interventions in reducing body weight and identify the effective key features of such interventions. We searched seven databases for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) from inception until September 6, 2018.

Educational roles as a continuum of mentoring's role in medicine - a systematic review and thematic analysis of educational studies from 2000 to 2018.

Background: Recent studies have gone to great lengths to differentiate mentoring from teaching, tutoring, role modelling, coaching and supervision in efforts to better understand mentoring processes. This review seeks to evaluate the notion that teaching, tutoring, role modelling, coaching and supervision may in fact all be part of the mentoring process. To evaluate this theory, this review scrutinizes current literature on teaching, tutoring, role modelling, coaching and supervision to evaluate their commonalities with prevailing concepts of novice mentoring.

Technology-Delivered Psychotherapeutic Interventions in Improving Depressive Symptoms Among People with HIV/AIDS: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials.

With the increasing popularity of advanced technology, technology-delivered psychotherapeutic interventions (TPIs) may play a promising role in improving depressive symptoms among PLWHA. However, its effectiveness remains unclear. We aimed to synthesise the evidence of the effectiveness of TPIs in improving depressive symptoms of PLWHA using a meta-analytic approach.

Training clinical ethics committee members between 1992 and 2017: systematic scoping review.

Introduction: Clinical ethics committees (CECs) support and enhance communication and complex decision making, educate healthcare professionals and the public on ethical matters and maintain standards of care. However, a consistent approach to training members of CECs is lacking. A systematic scoping review was conducted to evaluate prevailing CEC training curricula to guide the design of an evidence-based approach.

Internet-based self-monitoring interventions for overweight and obese adolescents: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Internet-based self-monitoring intervention offers accessibleand convenient weight management. This review aimed to systematically review the evidence on the effectiveness of internet-based self-monitoring intervention for overweight and obese adolescents.

Method: PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, ProQuest, PsycINFO and SCOPUS were systematically searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) from inception until December 13, 2017.

Effectiveness of digital resuscitation training in improving knowledge and skills: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Aim: This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital resuscitation training in improving knowledge and skill compared with standard resuscitation training.

Methods: We searched through the CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, ERIC, ProQuest Dissertations and Thesis, PsycINFO, PubMed and Scopus from inception of our review until 5 March 2018. The quality of individual and overall evidence was evaluated according to the risk of bias, Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI) and Grade of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system, respectively.

Electronic-based lifestyle interventions in overweight or obese perinatal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Electronic-based (e-based) lifestyle interventions provide potential and cost-effective delivery of remote interventions for overweight and obese perinatal women. To date, no meta-analysis has reported the efficacy of maternal and neonatal outcomes. Seven electronic databases were searched from inception up to July 13, 2016, including the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, PsycINFO, PubMed and Scopus.

Therapist-Supported Internet-Based Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Stress, Anxiety, and Depressive Symptoms Among Postpartum Women: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: A growing number of meta-analyses have supported the application of therapist-supported Internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (iCBT) for psychological disorders across different populations, but relatively few meta-analyses have concentrated on postpartum women.

Objective: This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of therapist-supported iCBT in improving stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms among postpartum women.

Methods: A total of 10 electronic databases were used to search for published and unpublished trials.
