“…Considering the gaps in behavioral change mechanisms in web-based interventions for informal caregivers of people living with dementia and the increasing number of web-based interventions, it is timely to conduct a scoping review to explore and analyze the emerging literature [21]. This study reviewed the literature to map BCTs, theories, and agents deployed in the web-based interventions for informal caregivers of people living with dementia.…”

Background Web-based interventions aimed at supporting informal caregivers of people living with dementia have the potential to improve caregivers’ well-being and psychological health. However, few interventions are widely implemented for this population, and none of the prior reviews have systematically examined the use of behavior change techniques (BCTs), theories, and agents in web-based interventions for informal caregivers of people living with dementia. To better understand this implementation gap, we reviewed the literature to map behavioral factors (BCTs, theories, and agents) deployed in the studies. Furthermore, because there is an emerging consensus that retention could be shaped by participant characteristics and behavioral factors, we explored relationships between these features and retention rates across studies. Objective We pursued 3 objectives: to map behavioral factors involved in the web-based interventions for informal caregivers of people living with dementia; to examine the relationship between behavioral change elements and retention in the studies; and to examine the relationship between participant characteristics (gender, age, and spouse or adult children caregiver proportion) and study retention. Methods We conducted a literature review using the following keywords and their corresponding Medical Subject Headings terms: dementia, caregivers, and web-based intervention. The time limits were January 1998 to March 2022. Using the BCTv1 taxonomy, which specifies active behavioral components in interventions, 2 coders collected, summarized, and analyzed the frequency distributions of BCTs. Similarly, they abstracted and analyzed participant characteristics, behavior change theories, behavior change agents, and retention rates in the studies. Results The average age was 61.5 (SD 7.4) years, and the average proportion of spousal informal caregivers, adult children informal caregivers, and retention rates were 51.2% (SD 24.8%), 44.8% (SD 22%), and 70.4% (SD 17%), respectively. Only 53% (17/32) of the studies used behavior change theories, but 81% (26/32) included behavior change agents. The most common BCTv1 clusters were shaping knowledge and social support. The median number of BCTv1 clusters was 5 (IQR 3). We observed a negative correlation between the proportion of spousal informal caregivers and the retention rate (r=−0.45; P=.02) and between the number of BCTv1 clusters and retention rates (r=−0.47; P=.01). We also found that the proportion of adult children informal caregivers in the study was significantly and positively correlated with the retention rate (r=0.5; P=.03). No other participant characteristics or behavioral factors were associated with retention rates. Conclusions We found that almost half of the studies were not informed by behavior change theories. In addition, spousal involvement and a higher number of BCTs were each associated with lower retention rates, while the involvement of adult children caregivers in the study was associated with higher retention. In planning future studies, researchers should consider matching participant characteristics with their intended intervention as the alignment might improve their retention rates.

“…This type of review is used in multidisciplinary scientific fields (e.g., health, social sciences) to answer questions relating to complex multidimensional phenomena or to learn about the available evidence (type and quantity) in a particular area (Munn et al, 2018). They provide an overview and follow a rigorous and systematic process that makes it transparent and replicable (Verdejo et al, 2021). Their usefulness lies in the fact that they synthesise the available evidence (quantitative and qualitative) to understand, in general terms, what is already known about a specific phenomenon.…”

Children’s participation is a universal right recognised by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This right corresponds to an image of children as social actors because of their relevant role in achieving inclusive, equitable, and sustainable development. Participation can take different forms and levels of involvement: consultative, collaborative, and child‐led. This study aimed to explore types and results of child‐led participatory practices. A scoping review was carried out to find out what evidence is available on child‐led participatory experiences. Based on 674 identified papers, a total of 33 studies met the inclusion criterion. The qualitative analysis employed in this review allowed us to explore the depth and themes of these experiences. The results obtained showed that the experiences analysed differed in (a) the research design and data collection methods of the studies, (b) the age of the participating children, (c) countries in which the experiences took place, (d) specific topics, and (e) outcomes. Moreover, they all shared a non‐adult‐centric view of children’s capacities for transformative action. The review has contributed to improving our understanding of children’s transformative capacities based on the possibilities offered by adults when they adopt a child‐rights approach and integrate co‐participatory approaches, encouraging us to rethink childhood from other cultural codes inspired by equality, recognition, and agency.

“…Uno de los modelos más populares es el de las revisiones sistemáticas, ya que estas permiten llegar a conclusiones potencialmente extrapolables al agrupar toda la evidencia disponible para una pregunta clínica específica, con un método riguroso y reproducible. (4) Las revisiones panorámicas son parte de este grupo de distintos modelos de revisiones y se caracterizan por responder preguntas más amplias. El número de revisiones panorámicas ha aumentado considerablemente con los años, y su mayor desarrollo se ha visto en la última década.…”

Antecedentes: La motivación es la fuerza que impulsa al trabajador a realizar determinadas acciones o comportamientos que cumplen con los objetivos de la organización. El ausentismo es la resultante de la falta de motivación, o de determinadas circunstancias imprevistas que hacen que el enfermero no asista a su puesto de trabajo. Objetivo: describir el conocimiento científico sobre ausentismo laboral y motivación en enfermería en el contexto latinoamericano.Material y Métodos: Se realizó una revisión panorámica, para ello se utilizó la metodología de scoping review. Se utilizó la metodología PRISMA.Resultados: Se encontraron 132 referencias, de las que se eliminaron 91 por no ser artículos empíricos, no abordar el objetivo de la revisión o no contar con el texto completo. Se incluyeron finalmente 12 artículos. Los factores que se describen como causas del ausentismo de forma global fueron las relaciones interpersonales, demandas físicas y emocionales, antigüedad laboral, edad, aspectos ergonómicos, el turno de trabajo destacando el turno nocturno, sobrecarga laboral, demanda familiar, la satisfacción laboral, aspectos organizacionales, salario, las relaciones interpersonales y el ambiente de trabajo. La variación de la tasa de ausentismo en fue en promedio del 38% con un desvío estándar de 23,47%, un mínimo de 18% y máximo en 74,29%.Conclusiones: El análisis de la literatura permitió dilucidar los diferentes factores causales de la conducta ausentista partiendo del supuesto de que en muchos casos el ausentismo es el resultado de una serie de factores causales más que la respuesta a uno sólo de ellos.
