“…This literature review is an essential step in the identification of evidence‐based perioperative nursing (8). Literature reviews reduce research to key findings in a reliable way and offer a means of enabling perioperative care professionals to keep abreast of research (9). Sampling of the study started with searching in the Cinahl database using the word ‘perioperative’ associated with ‘dialogues’.…”

This literature review analyses eight research reports dealing with perioperative dialogues conducted between patients and nurses. The aim of this study was to summarise studies concerned with the perioperative dialogue as an organisation model for bringing safe operative practices and caring into perioperative nursing, by creating continuity for both patients and nurses in perioperative praxis and its research. How do patients and perioperative nurses experience the perioperative dialogue as a model? Perioperative nursing should be perceived as a caring profession emphasising that the focus is on perioperative caring. The perioperative dialogue has a humanistic and caring perspective and presents an ideal model on which to base perioperative nursing. There is general acceptance of the value of the perioperative dialogue for both patients and nurses as means of alleviating suffering and creating a safety nursing, with continuity in the process provided by nursing staff. This study suggests further research and that a means of measuring caring in the perioperative dialogue should be more developed.

“…The literature search that was inspired by Droogan and Cullum (1998), was carried out in the following databases: Academic Search Elite, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and MedLine/PubMed (Table 1). Searches were made by combining indexed terms from the thesauruses of these databases and free text using the Boolean operators “OR” and “AND.” Initially, a large number of search words were chosen.…”

Background: Sleep disturbances are common problems among individuals in hospitals and institutions. Although several studies have explored this phenomenon, there is still a lack of knowledge about the effectiveness of sleep‐promoting nursing interventions. This systematic review aims to describe and evaluate the effectiveness of sleep‐promoting nursing interventions in health care settings. Approach: A systematic review was performed. In June 2009, a literature search was carried out in the following databases: Academic Search Elite, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library and MedLine/PubMed. Fifty‐two references were identified and after critical appraisal, nine studies were selected. A compilation of the results and the outcomes of the interventions were carried out. Furthermore, the evidence strength of the interventions was assessed. Findings: Little evidence for the nursing interventions, sleep hygiene, music, natural sound and vision, stimulation of acupoints, relaxation, massage and aromatherapy is found. However, large effect size of interventions were found when using massage, acupuncture and music, natural sounds or music videos. The use of sleep hygiene and relaxation, on the other hand, produced only small effects. Conclusion: The lack of high evidence strength for the nursing interventions together with the uncertainty about their effects calls for more research before implementing these interventions into clinical practice.

“…The method followed the guidelines for systematic reviews by Droogan and Cullum (), adjusted to the purpose and scope of the present review paper. We have successfully followed these guidelines in previous reviews of the evidence in a number of areas, including cancer (Chouliara et al, ) and psychological trauma (Karatzias et al, ).…”

Primary objective: The authors sought to summarise and evaluate evidence regarding vicarious traumatisation (VT) in practitioners working with adult survivors of sexual violence and/or child sexual abuse (CSA). Methods and selection criteria: Relevant publications were identified from systematic literature searches of PubMed and PsycINFO. Studies were selected for inclusion if they examined vicarious traumatisation resulting from sexual violence and/or CSA work and were published in English between January 1990 and June 2008. Critical analysis and results: Ten studies met the criteria of the present review. In summary, VT levels in the field of sexual violence/CSA are high with negative effects, but do not appear to exceed those reported by professionals working with non-sexual violence or with sexual offenders. Further investigation is needed into predisposing and mediating factors before clear conclusions can be drawn. Conclusions: Previous research has suffered a number of methodological limitations regarding definitions, sampling, comparison groups, support arrangements and measurement. These factors compromise not only the rigour and generalisability of findings but also our ability to define VT as a useful concept. These limitations are discussed and recommendations made for a future research agenda.
