Nurse led models of care for outpatient substance use disorder treatment: A scoping review.

AIM: To map key characteristics and describe nurse led models of care for the treatment of persons with substance use disorders (SUDs) in the outpatient setting. DESIGN: A scoping review. METHODS: Conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology. The PRISMA-ScR checklist was used. DATA SOURCES: Pubmed, CINAHL Complete (EBSCOhost), Cochrane Library, APA PsycNet and Scopus were searched from 1999 to May 2022 and updated on 28 November 2023. A handsearch and a grey literature search was conducted. RESULTS: Title and abstract screening was performed on 774 articles resulting in 88 articles for full text screening. Full text screening yielded 13 articles that met inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION: Existing nurse-led models of care for SUDS are scarce and limited in scope, with the majority focused on treating opioid use disorder. Additional research is needed to develop, test, and implement efficacious nurse-led models of care for the treatment and management of SUDs. IMPLICATIONS TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Nurse led models of care have demonstrated their efficacy and quality in the management of other chronic diseases. As we move forward with innovative solutions for individuals with addiction, nurse led models of care can be a mechanism to deliver high quality, evidence-based care for SUDs. IMPACT: SUDs are chronic diseases that impact individuals, families, and communities. SUDs require a biopsychosocial approach to treatment. Globally, nurses are well positioned to provide high quality care to mitigate the impact of SUDs. This scoping review mapped the extant literature on nurse led models of care for substance use disorder treatment in the outpatient setting finding that additional research is needed to develop, test and implement evidence-based interventions to care for individuals, families, and communities experiencing SUDs. REPORTING METHOD: PRISMA checklist for scoping reviews. No patient or public contribution were part of this study.

Nurse-led models of care for metabolic syndrome in primary care: A scoping review.

AIM: To identify and map out existing nurse-led models of care for treatment and prevention of metabolic syndrome in primary care settings. DESIGN: A scoping review. METHODS: Conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology. DATA SOURCES: A search of the databases PubMed, CINAHL Complete, Cochrane Library, Scopus, handsearch and a grey literature search was conducted in June 2022 and updated in March 2023. RESULTS: Title and abstract screening was performed on 926 articles resulting in 40 articles for full text screening. Full text screening yielded seven articles that met inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION: Additional research is needed on nursing models of care to prevent and treat metabolic syndrome. Future studies should concentrate on rigour with clearly defined objective inclusion criteria. IMPLICATIONS TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: This review contributes a synthesis of the evidence on nurse-led models for metabolic syndrome in primary care. IMPACT: This scoping review addresses metabolic syndrome, the precursor to non-communicable disease. The review mapped the evidence for nurse-led models of care for metabolic syndrome in the primary care setting. These findings promote the development and evaluation of novel nurse-led models of care which can mitigate the effect of the current epidemic. REPORTING METHOD: PRISMA checklist for scoping reviews. No patient or public contribution was part of this study. PROTOCOL REGISTRATION: Open Science Framework accessible at: https://osf.io/jfpw7/.

A Review of Voice Disorders in School-Aged Children.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to review literature concerning voice disorders in school-aged children. STUDY DESIGN: Integrative review. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A database search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Academic Search Complete, CINAHL Complete, and Medline. All records included in this review were peer-reviewed journal articles that discussed voice disorders in children, conducted in the United States or Canada, written in English, and published between 2009 and 2019. RESULTS: Database searching identified 1,771 records and 551 duplicates were removed. A total of 1,220 records were screened and 949 records were excluded. Two hundred and seventy-one full-text records were screened and 12 records met inclusion criteria. Vocal fold nodules were the most commonly reported vocal fold pathology. The Consensus Auditory Perceptual Evaluation of Voice and endoscopy were the most commonly reported assessments. However, variations in practice patterns and access to voice services may exist. CONCLUSIONS: The findings highlight that school-aged children may face barriers in accessing voice services. As a result, continued analyses of the potential barriers that hinder identification and treatment of voice disorders in this population appear warranted.
