RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: This study analyzed qualitative research to explore cancer patients' perspectives on MBIs, including benefits, challenges, and recommendations. METHODS: This systematic review focused on synthesizing qualitative data and was registered with PROSPERO under the protocol registration number xxx. Searched 7 databases for qualitative studies on MBIs & cancer patients (17 studies, 365 patients). Analyzed data using themes & assessed confidence in findings. RESULTS: Thematic analysis using NVivo software revealed four significant themes: (1) benefits and positive outcomes (e.g., symptom improvement, team support, positive experiences), (2) challenges and difficulties (e.g., practice challenges, negative experiences), (3) the journey of change and acceptance (e.g., shifts in perception, personal growth, and acceptance), and (4) adaptations and recommendations (e.g., program modification and flexibility). CONCLUSION: Mindfulness-based interventions have the potential to offer cancer patients positive emotional experiences, increased team support, and opportunities for personal growth, self-discovery, and acceptance. This, in turn, can help them manage the psychological distress associated with cancer. Customizing programs to align with individual patients' needs and preferences can enhance engagement and effectiveness. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Integrating MBIs into Patient Education and Counseling, tailored to individual needs and with ongoing support, can enhance cancer care. Group interventions foster peer support and effectiveness. Training providers and ensuring accessibility are crucial. Research and customization to patients' journeys optimize outcomes and satisfaction. A patient-centered approach is essential for positive experiences and improved clinical outcomes.

Hu et al explored the impact of comprehensive nursing model on swallowing function and quality of life in patients with ischemic stroke. They divided 172 patients into the control group (routine care) and the research group (comprehensive care), and used standard scales to evaluate the swallowing function, neurological deficit, anxiety and depression, daily living ability, and exercise of the two groups of patients before and after care. Changes in indicators of function, quality of life, and compliance. The results showed that compared with the control group, patients in the study group achieved significant improvements in various indicators, with a lower incidence of adverse reactions and higher satisfaction with care. These data suggest that the comprehensive nursing model can significantly improve the swallowing function, quality of life and satisfaction of patients with ischemic stroke. In the future, the development of comprehensive nursing models needs to focus on technological innovation, humanized services, continuing education and training, multi-disciplinary collaboration, optimal allocation of resources, standardized practice and evaluation, etc., in order to improve nursing effects and promote the improvement of medical service quality.
RESUMEN
AIM: To delineate the prevalence of smartphone addiction among nursing students. Further, to identify associated harms and underlying risk factors based on established theoretical models. BACKGROUND: Smartphones have become indispensable tools for students. However, excessive use can lead to smartphone addiction, causing physiological, psychological and social harm. Nursing students represent a unique population whose smartphone use may differ from other disciplines due to clinical training demands. METHODS: A scoping review was conducted following the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Seven databases were systematically searched from inception to August 2023. Inclusion criteria encompassed original research on smartphone addiction, harms and risks among nursing students. Data were extracted and thematically synthesized. RESULTS: Studies (n=39) met inclusion criteria, representing 15 countries. Rates of smartphone addiction among nursing students ranged from 19% to 72%, averaging 40-50%. Incorporated into Engel's biopsychosocial models, the harm is emphasized across individual inclinations, emotional aspects, cognitive processes and executive functions. Physiological harms include sleep disruption, vision concerns,other physiological concerns. psychologically, addiction correlated with increased anxiety and depression,decline in self-esteem, learning and attention and other psychological concerns. socially, it encompasses harms such as interpersonal relationships challenges, career development and decline in social abilities. The I-PACE model identifies various risk factors for smartphone addiction among nursing students, including personal factors such as interpersonal relationship anxiety and perceived academic pressure, affective factors like high stress and learning burnout, cognitive factors such as the need for online social interaction and low perception of social support, as well as executive factors like extended usage duration, poor self-control and usage before sleep. CONCLUSION: Smartphone addiction among nursing students presents tangible harms. A proposed theoretical model integrating established frameworks provides avenues to better comprehend addiction genesis and potential intervention strategies. Given addiction's multi-factorial nature, future research investigating harm mitigation through optimizing predisposing, precipitating and perpetuating factors is warranted.

Dee are a unique and rapidly growing part of the global snack food market and are recognised as having distinct sensory properties (taste and texture). In this study, the development of important volatile aroma compounds over storage was evaluated and their chemical origin explained. Sweet potatoes were batch fried in high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) and subjected to accelerated shelf life testing. Headspace volatiles were analysed using SPME GC-MS and correlated with sensory perception. All the components (sweet potatoes, oil and ß-carotene) showed significant degradation after 3 weeks of storage at accelerated conditions (equivalent to 12 weeks in real-time at 25 °C). Marker volatiles associated with lipid oxidation such as hexanal, octanal, pentanal were identified, in addition to norisoprenoids from ß-carotene degradation such as ß-ionon, 5,6-epoxy-ß-ionone, dihydroactinidiolide (DHA) and ß-cyclocitral. The most prominent marker of lipid oxidation (hexanal) rapidly increased at week 1, whereas the carotene degradation makers did not rapidly increase until week 3 suggesting a delayed response. The frying temperature during the batch frying process of SPC was also shown to play a significant role in the sensory perception of the product over the shelf life. Overall, the results suggest that tight control of process variables and raw material design may enable extended shelf life and potentially enhanced health credentials for the product. These findings are unique to SPC, but also of value to the wider food industry.

The impact of natural cheese and onion seasoning on the sensory perception and shelf life stability of potato crisps was studied. This study was carried out to evaluate the impact of nitrogen (N2) gas flushing on the shelf-life stability and sensory attributes of cheese & onion seasoned potato crisps. Markers of lipid oxidation and flavour volatile compounds were evaluated in sliced, unwashed, batch fried potato crisps during accelerated storage at 45 °C for 10 weeks. Volatile flavour compounds were evaluated by headspace gas analysis using solid phase microextraction (SPME) GC-MS and correlated with sensory perception. Gas flushing significantly increases the shelf life of both unsalted and cheese & onion seasoned potato crisps in terms of the stability of volatile compounds and sensory perception. Further to this, the addition of the cheese & onion seasoning increased the shelf life of the base potato crisp; this is proposed to be explained by the antioxidant properties of milk proteins in the seasoning. Sensory evaluation indicated that the key negative sensory attributes reported were rancidity and stale attributes, which were correlated to the progression of lipid oxidation and loss of flavour over storage time irrespective of the packaging environment (with/without gas flushing).
