Nursing knowledge on skin ulcer healing: a living scoping review protocol
Objective: This review aims to continuously map the nursing knowledge on skin ulcer healing in any context of care.
Introduction: Chronic wounds are an increasing concern for society and health care providers. Pressure ulcers and
venous ulcers, among others, have devastating effects on morbidity and quality of life and require a systematic
approach. The nursing process is an important method that allows a better organization and overall care quality for a
systematic and continuous professional approach to nursing management of skin ulcers. The integration of this
nursing knowledge in informatics systems creates an opportunity to embed decision-support models in clinical
activity, promoting evidence-based practice.
Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider articles on nursing data, diagnosis, interventions, and
outcomes focused on people with skin ulcers in all contexts of care. This review will include quantitative, qualitative,
and mixed methods study designs as well as systematic reviews and dissertations.
Methods: JBI’s scoping review guidance, as well as the Cochrane Collaboration’s guidance on living reviews, will be
followed to meet the review’s objective. Screening of new literature will be performed regularly, with the review
updated according to new findings. The search strategy will map published and unpublished studies. The databases
to be searched include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, JBI Evidence Synthesis, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews,
Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PEDro. Searches for unpublished studies will include OpenGrey
and Reposito´ rios Cientı´ficos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal. Studies published in English and Portuguese since 2010
will be considered for inclusion.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Nursing knowledge of people with paresis of voluntary muscles: a living scoping review protocol
Objective: This review aims to continuously map the nursing knowledge about people with paresis of voluntary muscles in any context of care. Introduction: Muscle paresis is a condition that significantly impacts quality of life. Nurses have a crucial role in managing this condition, particularly paresis of voluntary movement muscles. However, nursing knowledge about patients with paresis of voluntary muscles is dispersed, hampering the integration of evidence within the structure of information systems. Mapping how the nursing process components are identified is the first step in creating a Nursing Clinical Information Model for this condition, capable of integrating evidence into information systems. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider studies focusing on the nursing process regarding people with paresis of voluntary muscles in all care contexts. The review will include quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods study designs, systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, dissertations, and theses.
Methods: The review process will follow JBI's scoping review guidance, as well as the Cochrane Collaboration's guidance on living reviews. Screening of new literature will be performed regularly, with the review being updated according to new findings. The search strategy will map published and unpublished studies. The databases to be searched will include MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, JBI Evidence Synthesis, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Searches for unpublished studies will include OpenGrey and Repositorios Cientificos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal. Studies published in English and Portuguese from 1975 will be considered for inclusion.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
SARS-CoV-2 introductions and early dynamics of the epidemic in Portugal
Genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal was rapidly implemented by
the National Institute of Health in the early stages of the COVID-19 epidemic, in collaboration
with more than 50 laboratories distributed nationwide.
Methods By applying recent phylodynamic models that allow integration of individual-based
travel history, we reconstructed and characterized the spatio-temporal dynamics of SARSCoV-2 introductions and early dissemination in Portugal.
Results We detected at least 277 independent SARS-CoV-2 introductions, mostly from
European countries (namely the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Italy, and Switzerland),
which were consistent with the countries with the highest connectivity with Portugal.
Although most introductions were estimated to have occurred during early March 2020, it is
likely that SARS-CoV-2 was silently circulating in Portugal throughout February, before the
first cases were confirmed.
Conclusions Here we conclude that the earlier implementation of measures could have
minimized the number of introductions and subsequent virus expansion in Portugal. This
study lays the foundation for genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal, and highlights the need for systematic and geographically-representative genomic surveillance.We gratefully acknowledge to Sara Hill and Nuno Faria (University of Oxford) and
