“…Five documents investigated other interventions for skin care in adults or older people, 86,87 people with a spinal cord injury (SCI), 88 or neonates. 89,90 A best practice guideline 86 and an evidence summary 87 focused on foot and lower limb care in adults with, or at risk of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), or older people with diabetes respectively. The best practice guideline recommended protection of skin on lower extremities from trauma and providing appropriate foot care for those with PAD, including skin cleansing, foot inspection and prompt assessment of lesions.…”

Aim To synthesise evidence regarding skin care to maintain skin integrity and prevent wounds.Methods An electronic search of key terms (skin care or skin integrity) was undertaken of articles published between 1 January 2018 until 30 September 2023. A narrative integrative review synthesised results. ResultsIn all 73 articles met the inclusion criteria. The topics included cleansers, moisturisers, and/or barrier products (n=33), health service interventions related to skin care (n=15), and the impact of dressings on skin integrity (n=12). Eight encompassed multiple interventions, three examined self-management and two foot skin care. ConclusionStrong evidence on skin management to prevent wounds is limited. Moderate evidence supported the use of mild, non-alkaline cleansers and low pH moisturisers with humectants to improve skin integrity and prevent skin tears; in addition to prompt cleansing, use of topical barrier leave-on products and absorbent products to prevent incontinenceassociated dermatitis. The choice of prophylactic dressing is not a one-size-fits-all decision but rather a nuanced clinical decision that must consider the specific needs and circumstances of each patient. Use of person-centred care, evidencebased interventions by healthcare providers, and involvement of the interprofessional teams emerged as central themes of skin care for prevention of wounds.

Background Lower than expected recruitment and retention rates are common challenges in parenting trials—particularly for community-based trials targeting parents of young children that rely on face-to-face recruitment by frontline workers. Recruitment requires parental informed consent, yet information sheets have been criticized for being lengthy and complex, and particularly challenging for parents with low literacy. Recent innovations include ‘talking head’ information videos. This paper aims to explore parent perceptions of using a ‘talking head’ video to support informed consent, recruitment, and retention procedures in parenting trials. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with a sample of 24 mothers recruited after their final follow-ups in two different parenting trials in Denmark. Before consenting to participate in the trials, parents were invited to view a video of a member of the study team giving information about the study, and again before the interviews for the current study. The audio data was transcribed and thematic analysis was conducted. Results We identified three overarching themes: (1) general impression of the video, (2) thoughts on participation in research, and (3) recruitment and retention. Participants were generally positive in their appraisal of the two talking head informational videos. We found that participants felt that a mix of paper-based and video-based sources of information would enable them to make an informed choice about whether to participate in a research study. We also found that a professionally produced video featuring a key member of the study team produced a feeling of commitment to the study that could impact retention rates. Conclusions Informational videos are acceptable to parents; however, co-production or participant/patient involvement in the development of such videos is recommended. Informational videos may not increase recruitment but have the potential for improving retention. Key design recommendations are to ensure a ‘professional’ look to the video, to supplement videos with paper-based information, to keep the length to < 3 min, and for the ‘talking head’ part to feature a key member of the study team.

Background Preterm babies born below 32 weeks gestational age are placed in incubators, and therefore deprived of exposure to maternal heartbeat sounds and breathing rhythms. This article explored the use of a unique soft-robotics device that replicates these via a mattress in the incubator. Aims This study aimed to obtain data on mothers' experiences in the NHS COSYBABY study in relation to using the device and learn what, if any, value this device has to parents in the neonatal unit. Methods The study used qualitative focus groups conducted by patient and public involvement leads and interviews with parents. Framework analysis was used to analyse the data. Results Resulting themes were willingness to try anything, supporting mothers, scepticism and searching for causality, limitations of the device and beyond the intervention. Conclusions The device provides socioemotional benefits to mothers of neonatal babies, although the health benefits to their baby are uncertain.
