The objective of this review is to evaluate the best available evidence to determine the prevalence of depression in the general population of Latin America and the Caribbean countries.

Depression is a common mental disorder that affects quality of life and has been ranked as the largest contributor to non-fatal health loss. Knowledge of this disorder serves as a relevant instrument for policy makers and for the reassignment of public health resources. Although the prevalence of depression is well documented in high-income countries, little is known about the prevalence in Latin America and the Caribbean.

This review will include studies that report the prevalence of depression in the general adult (14 years and older) population of countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Non-representative subsets of the population will be excluded.

The search strategy will be designed to obtain both published and unpublished studies. Information sources include PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane CENTRAL, and SciELO. Sources of unpublished studies include literature from government departments, international agencies, and academic institution repositories or websites. link2 Eligible studies will be critically appraised for methodological quality. Prevalence estimates will be statistically pooled in a meta-analysis after heterogeneity interpretation; data not appropriate for pooling will be reported in a narrative review. Finally, risk of publication bias will be studied via funnel plot analysis and the Egger test.

The objective of this review is to identify and synthesize the risk factors for hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia in adults with pharmacologically treated type 2 diabetes mellitus in any scenarios and environments for health care.

Studies around the world have investigated which factors are associated with episodes of alteration of blood glucose level. It is through the characterization of these factors that nurses can plan and intervene accurately in the control of serum glucose levels in people with diabetes.

This review will include studies conducted among adults with pharmacologically treated type 2 diabetes mellitus in any scenarios and environments for health care. Studies should focus on risk factors for the variation of fasting glycemic levels lower than 3.9 mmol/L and higher than 7.21 mmol/L, as well as postprandial glycemic levels lower than 3.9 mmol/L and higher than 10 mmol/L.

Databases to be searched include MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, LILACS, and ScienceDirect. Following the search, titles and abstracts will be screened by two independent reviewers for assessment against the inclusion criteria for the review. The full text of selected citations will be assessed in detail against the inclusion criteria, and studies selected for retrieval will be assessed by two independent reviewers for methodological validity using JBI critical appraisal tools. Studies will not be excluded based on their quality assessment. link3 Data will be extracted using the standardized data extraction tools. Quantitative data will, where possible, be pooled in statistical meta-analysis.

The objective of this review is to examine and map the literature on the use of the functional resonance analysis method in health care research.

Health care systems are highly complex and involve interrelated functions, organizations, individuals, and technologies. Understanding how these elements interact and impact health care processes is difficult because of inherent contextual and human variables. The functional resonance analysis method offers an approach to deconstruct complex systems and examine relationships between individual processes and elements. By using the functional resonance analysis method, researchers can map health care processes and uncover performance variables that can emerge and strengthen, or compromise, intended outcomes. Insight into how the functional resonance analysis method has been operationalized in health care research will help researchers and policy makers understand how the method can be used to strengthen health care systems.

The scoping review will consider reseaoping review will aim to locate published and unpublished literature by employing a three-step search strategy. Only papers published in English will be considered and no limits will be placed on the year of publication. Data extracted will include key concepts and definitions of the functional resonance analysis method, research questions/aims/objectives, methods used to operationalize the functional resonance analysis method, and key findings. Extracted data will be reported in tabular form and presented narratively to express the review question.
This review will aim to assess the influence of sex-based differences on oral anticoagulation control in patients taking coumarin derivatives.

Coumarin derivatives, such as warfarin, have a narrow therapeutic index, requiring frequent monitoring to achieve adequate anticoagulation control, which can be assessed by the time in therapeutic range. Differences in the quality of oral anticoagulation control between men and women have been reported, although the current evidence is controversial. A systematic review on this topic would provide results that could be incorporated into clinical practice to enhance oral anticoagulation control and treatment outcomes.

Observational and experimental studies were assessed for eligibility, with participants aged ≥18 years of either sex taking oral anticoagulation or other coumarin derivatives for ≥3 months, for any indication of chronic use, who had oral anticoagulation control evaluated by time in therapeutic range.

Electronic databases to be searched include MEDLINE, BVS, CINAHL, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Web of Science. Two reviewers will independently perform title/abstract selection and screening, and then full text retrieval and screening of articles that meet the inclusion criteria. The evaluation of methodological quality and data extraction will also be performed by two independent reviewers. Data will be synthesized in tables and then the compiled results will be meta-analyzed. In the presence of subgroup differences, meta-regression methods will be used to investigate the effects of categorical or continuous covariates. If statistical pooling is not possible, a narrative synthesis will be presented.

The objective of this review is to comprehensively identify and synthesize the best available evidence about the experiences of women who smoked tobacco during pregnancy or postnatally (or both) concerning their health care providers' interactions with them about their smoking.

Smoking tobacco during pregnancy and postnatally continue to be important global public health challenges. Maternal smoking poses risks to the woman's general health and causes pregnancy complications and serious adverse health effects for the fetus and child. Hence, it is essential that health care providers support pregnant and postnatal women to achieve smoking cessation and not relapse. Learning about these women's experiences of health care provider interactions may inform recommendations for health care provider best practice in interpersonal approach.

The participants of interest are women who smoked tobacco during pregnancy, the postnatal period, or both, with the phenomenon of interest being their experiences of health care provider interactions with them about their smoking. The context is any setting globally. Studies for consideration will have qualitative data, including any mixed methods studies.

This qualitative systematic review will be conducted according to JBI methodology. Databases to be searched for published studies include CINAHL, PubMed, APA PsycINFO, Embase, Sociological Abstracts, and SocINDEX. Gray literature will be searched for unpublished studies. The authors will conduct an initial screening and then a full-text review of studies for congruence with the inclusion criteria. A critical appraisal will be performed on eligible studies and data will be extracted from included studies. Meta-aggregation will be used to yield synthesized findings, which will be assigned confidence scores.

In this scoping review, contemporary concepts and definitions of phenomena during normal labor and birth, wherein the process appears to plateau (slow, stall, or pause) but remains within physiological limits, will be mapped.

During labor and birth, it is frequently perceived as pathological if contractions, cervical dilation, or fetal descent plateau. However, there is evidence to suggest that some plateaus during labor may be physiological, and a variety of concepts and terms refer to this phenomenon. Where a physiological plateau is perceived as pathological arrest, this may contribute to undue interventions, such as augmentation of labor. Therefore, it is important to advance understanding of physiological labor patterns, including potentially physiological labor plateaus.

Publications mentioning any plateaus of the processes of normal human labor and birth will be considered. This may also include phenomena where labor is perceived to "reverse," for example, a closing cervix or a rise of the presen boundaries, terminology, precedents, consequences, concept origin, and types of evidence that report this phenomenon. Results will be presented in tabular, diagrammatical, and narrative manner.
The primary objective of this scoping review is to explore what is known about cultivating rapport between adult patients with cancer and their nurses in oncology ambulatory care. ARV-771 will be performed to explore whether this method enhances mapping of the literature.

Research demonstrates that patients with cancer value nurses not only for their skillful delivery of treatment but for their support and guidance. Rapport, or nurse-patient bonding, is associated with patient satisfaction. Although the importance of the nurse-patient relationship in oncology nursing is established, less is known about the process of nurturing rapport, especially in ambulatory care where most treatment is delivered.

This scoping review will consider studies pertaining to nurses working with adult patients undergoing treatment for any form of cancer within ambulatory oncology. It will include experimental, quasi-experimental, descriptive observational and qualitative designs, systematic reviews, and dissertations.
