ABSTRACT
Objective:To search, evaluate and summarize the best evidence for non-pharmaceutical therapy of cancer-related fatigue in cancer patients.Methods:According to the "6S" evidence model, systematically searched relevant domestic and foreign guideline networks and databases to collect relevant evidences, including clinical decision support, guidelines, evidence summaries, and systematic reviews. Retrieval time from the establishment of the database to August 2021. After evaluating the quality of the literature, we extracted and summarized relevant evidence.Results:A total of 18 articles were included in this study, including 1 clinical decision support, 4 clinical practice guidelines, 5 evidence summarie and 8 systematic reviews. 25 pieces of best evidence were summarized, involving non-pharmacological interventions in 7 aspects: health education, exercise intervention, psychosocial intervention, traditional Chinese medicine therapy, nutritional support, sleep therapy and bright white light therapy.Conclusions:It is recommended that medical staff should combine clinical practice, scientifically select the best evidence and use evidence-based management scheme for cancer-related fatigue to reduce cancer-related fatigue and improve patients′ life quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To retrieve, appraise and summarize the best evidence to prevent accidental extubation of peripheral venous catheters in adults.Methods:According to the "6S" evidence model, computer evidence retrieval was carried out. Search relevant domestic and foreign guideline networks and databases to collect relevant evidences, including clinical decision, guidelines, evidence summary, systematic reviews, etc. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to September 2021. Two researchers conducted independent literature search, quality evaluation, evidence extraction and summary. If there is a disagreement between the two, the third party shall be invited to make a ruling.Result:A total of 8 articles were included, including 1 clinical decision, 1 guideline, 2 evidence summaries, 3 RCTs and 1 expert consensus. The 35 best evidences were summarized from six aspects: education and training, catheter placement selection, dressing selection, catheter fixation, catheter maintenance and timing of extubation.Conclusion:This summary of evidence provided evidence-based evidence for the standardized management of clinical prevention of accidental extubation of peripheral venous catheters. However, some of evidence is lacking and of poor quality. In the future, the evidence should be used cautiously according to the clinical situation and patient conditions.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To re-evaluate the quality of methodology and outcome indicators for systematic reviews/meta-analysis about the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting(CINV).Methods:The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM for systematic reviews/meta-analysis on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical intervention in the prevention or treatment of CINV from inception to May 2021 were searched. The methodological quality of the included literature was evaluated by the AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation tool, and the quality of the evidence for the outcome indicators was evaluated by GRADE system.Results:A total of 24 articles were included, 7 of the AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation results were low-level, and the remaining 17 were all very low-level. The main defects were the lack of preliminary study design scheme, incomplete search strategy, no list of excluded literature, and no report of included research funding sources, etc. Only 1 of the outcome indicators was classified as high quality, 7 were classified as intermediate, and the rest were low or very low quality.Conclusions:Methodological quality and strength of evidence of systematic reviews/meta-analysis on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical intervention for CINV are generally low, and the reliability of research results is poor. It is necessary to design scientific and rigorous high-quality RCTs and systematic reviews to further verify the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions in the future.
