RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Although there is a body of literature on the implementation of interventions to manage procedural pain and anxiety in youth with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), we found no literature presenting the current state of knowledge on this topic. OBJECTIVES: To review the state of knowledge on interventions for the management of procedural pain and anxiety in children and adolescents with ASD. METHOD: A scoping review using PRISMA-ScR was conducted. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, MEDLINE, all EBM reviews, Embase, APA PsychInfo, EBSCO CINAHL, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Global databases were searched. Gray literature was also searched. ANALYSIS METHOD: Braun and Clarke's (2006) model for thematic analysis in psychology was used to synthesize the search results. RESULTS: Thirty articles were selected. Analysis of the extracted data revealed four elements of intervention for better management of procedural pain and anxiety in the study population: 1) characteristics of the procedure and the immediate environment; 2) parent-child interactions; 3) health care provider-child interactions; and 4) direct pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nurses must be able to implement appropriate interventions for the management of procedural pain and anxiety in youth with an autism spectrum disorder.

Background and Purpose: Family resilience in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is a promising avenue for promoting parental mental health, yet no tool is available to assess it. This study aimed to develop a new scale to measure family resilience in French-speaking parents during the NICU hospitalization and evaluate content validation. Methods: This methodological study was conducted in Quebec and included two phases: (a) item development process and (b) content validity evaluation process using successive quantitative and qualitative methods. A total sample of 14 experts evaluated item clarity, relevance, and representativeness on 1-4 rating scales and provided qualitative feedback on scale characteristics. Results: An initial scale of 55 items was developed. Excellent content validity (Scale Content Validity Index > .90) and consensus regarding item selection and scale presentation were achieved. Conclusions: This content-validated 55-item Communication, Organization, and Intrafamilial Beliefs in Neonatology (COCINL) scale should be psychometrically tested in the Quebec NICU parent population.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Individuals experiencing suicidal ideation or behavior frequently seek assistance at the emergency department (ED), yet the care they receive does not consistently align with their needs. This study explores the ED care experience of suicidal patients from their own perspective and offers recommendations to improve ED care for this population. METHOD: This qualitative study uses a descriptive interpretative design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 7 individuals who sought care in an ED due to suicidal ideation or behavior. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis. FINDINGS: Participants' experiences were marked by an unsuited physical environment described as uncomfortable, noisy, and depressing. The organization of care was perceived as inadequate as patients complained about limited front-line access to mental health expertise, long waiting times, overworked staff, and inequities between patients with physical injuries and those with mental health concerns. Participants reported feelings of being trapped, left on their own and mistreated during their ED stay. Most found their care experience unhelpful or distressing, leaving them reluctant to reconsult. Specific recommendations based on patients' testimonials and literature are provided to enhance the ED care experience of suicidal patients. CONCLUSION: This study highlights several areas for improvement of the ED care experience of suicidal patients. Changes in current practices are needed to offer suicidal patients the satisfying care experience they deserve.

INTRODUCTION: Mental disorders are common in adult patients with traumatic injuries. To limit the burden of poor psychological well-being in this population, recognised authorities have issued recommendations through clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). However, the uptake of evidence-based recommendations to improve the mental health of trauma patients has been low until recently. This may be explained by the complexity of optimising mental health practices and interpretating CGPs scope and quality. Our aim is to systematically review CPG mental health recommendations in the context of trauma care and appraise their quality. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We will identify CPG through a search strategy applied to Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO and Web of Science databases, as well as guidelines repositories and websites of trauma associations. We will target CPGs on adult and acute trauma populations including at least one recommendation on any prevention, screening, assessment, intervention, patient and family engagement, referral or follow-up procedure related to mental health endorsed by recognised organisations in high-income countries. No language limitations will be applied, and we will limit the search to the last 15 years. Pairs of reviewers will independently screen titles, abstracts, full texts, and carry out data extraction and quality assessment of CPGs using the Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II. We will synthesise the evidence on recommendations for CPGs rated as moderate or high quality using a matrix based on the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation quality of evidence, strength of recommendation, health and social determinants and whether recommendations were made using a population-based approach. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval is not required, as we will conduct secondary analysis of published data. The results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal, at international and national scientific meetings. Accessible summary will be distributed to interested parties through professional, healthcare quality and persons with lived experience associations. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: (ID454728).
