“…Ensuring reliability and validity of tools is important in order to avoid different interpretations or measurements between raters [ 33 ]. In this study, the PGF was used to evaluate the quality of the tools, and only two tools showed a grade of “adequate” or higher, while most showed “weak” or “very weak.” These results were similar to those of a systematic review of evidence-based knowledge measurement tools in nursing practice [ 34 ] and a systematic review of tools for measuring learning outcomes in healthcare students using the PGF [ 35 ].…”

Purpose This study aimed to identify knowledge measurement tools for kidney transplantation (KT) and confirm their assessment methods, domains, and validity to provide useful information. Design An integrative review based on Whittemore and Knafl’s (2005) framework and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Methods An integrative search was conducted using four English databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library) and the top three Korean databases (RISS, DBpia, and KISS). Search terms and strategies included (“kidney transplant*” OR “renal transplant*” OR “kidney replace*” OR “renal replace*” OR “kidney graft” OR “renal graft”) & (knowledge OR awareness) & (scale OR tool OR instrument OR questionnaire OR inventory). The time limit was set to February 2022. The extracted data included the content of the tools, participants, and psychometrics. Quality of life was assessed using a psychometric grading framework. Results A total of 15 studies and 13 tools were reviewed. Of these, seven studies (46.7%) targeted KT patients, five (33.3%) targeted KT candidates, and three (20.0%) included both groups. The number of items in the tools ranged from five to 33 items. Furthermore, seven tools comprised true-false questions and eight multiple-choice questions. The domains of the KT knowledge measurement tool used in each study differed across study participants. Both reliability and validity were confirmed in six tools, and only two showed a grade of “adequate” or higher. Conclusion A validated tool is required to measure KT knowledge. These tools can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions in promoting self-management after KT. Protocol registration number CRD42022334559.

“…The kappa value between the two raters over the MMAT scoring was 0.79, indicating substantial agreement 43. In this review, we included all articles due to their information values, even though some studies were not rated as high on quality due to their research designs 46…”

Informal carers’ information needs in managing behavioural and psychological symptoms of people with dementia and related mHealth applications: a systematic integrative review to inform the design of an mHealth application

ObjectiveTo review and synthesise the evidence on informal carers’ information needs in managing behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) of their care recipients and related mobile health (mHealth) applications to inform the design of an mHealth application.DesignThis is a systematic integrative review guided by Whittemore and Knafl’s five-stages framework. Six databases were searched: Cochrane, CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, ProQuest and PsycINFO. The key concepts included ‘dementia’, ‘behavioural and psychological symptoms’, ‘informal carers’ and (‘information need’ or ‘mHealth application’). Peer-reviewed full-text articles published in English from 2000 to 2022 were included. The methodological rigour of studies was analysed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool V.2018. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-2020 reporting guidelines were followed.ResultsThis review included 34 studies, including quantitative (n=13), qualitative (n=17) and mixed-method (n=4) studies. Four major themes emerged from the reported studies: the need for addressing information needs on managing BPSD, the role of support systems in managing BPSD, self-care for carers and the role of mHealth applications in providing education and support for carers. In managing BPSD, carers seek knowledge about dementia and BPSD, the roles of the carers and misconceptions about BPSD. One study reported an mHealth application to monitor the behavioural issues of people with dementia.ConclusionInformal carers of people with dementia face a number of challenges when providing care for BPSD of their care recipients. The lack of knowledge on managing BPSD is a significant challenge. Support systems such as professional, social, residential, legal and eHealth have a significant role in managing the BPSD of people with dementia in the community. mHealth interventions are sparse to support BPSD management. These findings can be used in designing an mHealth application that addresses needs related to managing BPSD of informal carers of people with dementia.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021238540.

Introduction: Reflection is a lifelong learning process that represents thinking about one's own experiences. It gives professionals the opportunity to examine their actions in practice and by changing them create conditions for personal and continuous professional development. Many studies report that nurses guided by reflective competencies and reflection are more likely to use a strategic approach to problem solving, achieve a holistic approach to health care, and accept continuing education as an integral part of their profession. Purpose: The objectives of this study were to determine how many nursing students have reflective competencies during clinical training and whether there is an impact of employment factors and years of study on reflection on clinical practice. Methods: A descriptive and exploratory non-experimental empirical research method was used for the study. For the study, we used a questionnaire with 36 statements. Second-, third-, and fourth-grade students and nursing students participated in the study (n = 86). For data analysis, we used descriptive statistics and the nonparametric chi-square test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Values of significance level p < 0.05 were considered significant. Results: The results of the research showed that all respondents highly assessed their ability to reflect in relation to the experience of their work on clinical practice. Conclusion: The results of the study prove that students have reflectivity in relation to clinical practice. The topic also needs to be extended to all links of the curriculum in graduate, professional, and nurse practitioner education to provide a more valid insight into reflection on clinical practice.
