“…Scoping reviews systematically assess the breadth of a body of literature in a particular research area [ 10 , 11 ]. Scoping reviews are particularly useful when investigating nascent and/or abstract concepts in order to map key themes in a research area and help to identify gaps in existing literature [ 12 , 13 ].…”

A knowledge synthesis of culturally- and spiritually-sensitive end-of-life care: findings from a scoping review

BackgroundMultiple factors influence the end-of-life (EoL) care and experience of poor quality services by culturally- and spiritually-diverse groups. Access to EoL services e.g. health and social supports at home or in hospices is difficult for ethnic minorities compared to white European groups. A tool is required to empower patients and families to access culturally-safe care. This review was undertaken by the Canadian Virtual Hospice as a foundation for this tool.MethodsTo explore attitudes, behaviours and patterns to utilization of EoL care by culturally and spiritually diverse groups and identify gaps in EoL care practice and delivery methods, a scoping review and thematic analysis of article content was conducted. Fourteen electronic databases and websites were searched between June–August 2014 to identify English-language peer-reviewed publications and grey literature (including reports and other online resources) published between 2004–2014.ResultsThe search identified barriers and enablers at the systems, community and personal/family levels. Primary barriers include: cultural differences between healthcare providers; persons approaching EoL and family members; under-utilization of culturally-sensitive models designed to improve EoL care; language barriers; lack of awareness of cultural and religious diversity issues; exclusion of families in the decision-making process; personal racial and religious discrimination; and lack of culturally-tailored EoL information to facilitate decision-making.ConclusionsThis review highlights that most research has focused on decision-making. There were fewer studies exploring different cultural and spiritual experiences at the EoL and interventions to improve EoL care. Interventions evaluated were largely educational in nature rather than service oriented.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12877-016-0282-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Although there are systematic reviews in related areas [23,24], neither has had a primary focus on the breadth of consequences for children, and both have more precise foci and mechanistic orientations. Literature searches in MedLine and Google Scholar (October 2014) identified some scoping reviews related to alcohol use [25,26], but none were found on parental drinking's possible harmful effects. This scoping review thus offers the first summary of available evidence from cohort studies of parental drinking and child outcome, both in terms of study characteristics and principal findings.…”

Introduction and AimsThere is a growing interest in measuring alcohol's harms to people other than the drinker themselves. ‘Children of alcoholics’ and foetal alcohol spectrum disorder have received widespread attention. Less is known about how children are affected by post‐natal exposure to parental drinking other than alcohol abuse/dependence. In this scoping review, we aim to assemble and map existing evidence from cohort studies on the consequences of parental alcohol use for children, and to identify limitations and gaps in this literature.Design and MethodsSystematic review methods were used. Electronic databases were searched (1980 to October 2013) and a total of 3215 abstracts were screened, 326 full text papers examined and 99 eligible for inclusion according to selection criteria including separation of exposure and outcome measurement in time and report of a quantitative effect size.ResultsThe main finding is the large literature available. Adolescent drinking behaviour was the most common outcome measure and outcomes other than substance use were rarely analysed. In almost two of every three published associations, parental drinking was found to be statistically significantly associated with a child harm outcome measure. Several limitations in the literature are noted regarding its potential to address a possible causal role of parental drinking in children's adverse outcomes.Discussion and ConclusionsThis study identifies targets for further study and provides a platform for more targeted analytic investigations which ascertain risk of bias, and which are capable of considering the appropriateness of causal inferences for the observed associations.

“…A key implication of our interpretation for policy and practice is that women’s relationality and care should be the starting point for interventions to help to reduce health inequalities in alcohol use. Using this theoretical framework highlights that interventions to prevent/reduce heavy alcohol consumption should enable women to gain care and support, and address their material circumstances (Fang et al 2014 ). Because of the focus on the importance of care in all women’s lives and their own need for care, drawing on ethics of care theory would also ensure that interventions do not unequally focus on women with young children as care givers, and ignore the needs of women themselves (Bell et al 2009 ).…”

“…Theoretical interpretations of women’s alcohol drinking practices grounded in their lived experience are needed to further understand how gender, social class and other social factors shape this phenomena (Staddon 2015 ). Such work can help build the case for, and aid the development of, interventions to prevent or reduce heavy alcohol consumption which engage closely with the social contexts of women’s lives (Fang et al 2014 ; Staddon 2015 ).…”

Exploring the significance of relationality, care and governmentality in families, for understanding women’s classed alcohol drinking practices

et al. 2022

In this paper we explore the importance of relationality and care for understanding women’s alcohol use, using a theoretical framework comprising concepts from feminist ethics of care, the sociology of personal life, and feminist approaches to governmentality. A key focus is how care giving responsibilities and expectations in families appear to be particularly significant for creating or constraining possibilities for drinking practices. We draw on findings from a qualitative study about alcohol use and stress with 26 women, aged 24-67 years, in the North East of England, UK. We consider how care practices in families feature in the accounts of alcohol use by women with and without children, and how the symbolic and material aspects of social class interact with care to alter the drinking practices women engage in. The interpretation extends scholarship on women’s drinking, by adopting a relational approach to identity and linking private care practices and alcohol use to social and political structures. Public health approaches for preventing or reducing heavy drinking practices are predominantly situated within biomedical or psychological paradigms. Intervention approaches to reduce women’s drinking that draw on our theoretical framework could offer potential for reducing harmful alcohol use in a more meaningful way.
