ABSTRACT
Infant and young children feeding (IYCF) practices, particularly for infants and young children <2 y old, became increasingly challenging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several studies have discussed various educational models in the pre-pandemic period, most of which were conducted in person. The last reviews on IYCF interventions were conducted in 2020 and were relevant to pre-pandemic contexts. Thus, there is a need to review IYCF interventions to inform educational models adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to describe the IYCF educational models proposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this relevant literature, we searched PubMed, SCOPUS, EBSCO, ProQuest, Sage Journals, and Wiley Online Library. Thirty-five literature sources were screened, and 7 data sources were included for data extraction and analysis. Many studies on the IYCF educational models focused on exclusive breastfeeding and early initiation of breastfeeding; there was only one study on complementary feeding, and no research was found on continued breastfeeding. Four studies found no significant differences in the intervention given. Three studies had a significant effect, one had in-person meetings, and two consisted of WhatsApp discussions. Most IYCF educational models from the pandemic context comprised online education, whereas WhatsApp was the most popular media used. Future researchers may develop these findings to design research on a larger scale and for a longer period, especially on complementary feeding and continued breastfeeding based on IYCF indicators.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program is currently poorly implemented by healthcare workers. Furthermore, several inhibiting and supporting factors for this implementation have been discovered to influence healthcare workers' perception of the program. This study aims to investigate the perception of healthcare workers regarding the ERAS program. DESIGN: A scoping review in a systematic manner. METHODS: A systematic search was performed using six databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, SCOPUS, EBSCO, Proquest, and Sage Journals, from August 2011 to August 2021. The data was extracted using an excel worksheet, and the results obtained were presented descriptively. FINDINGS: This study selected a total of 10 articles, where both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to discuss the perceptions of healthcare workers about ERAS. CONCLUSIONS: Based on this study's findings, not all healthcare workers have a good perception of ERAS. The implementation of ERAS is often hindered by several factors, including resistance to change and lack of knowledge about the program. However, good teamwork and support from hospital management can support the program's implementation.

OBJECTIVE: Previous systematic reviews have found that the enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol for cesarean delivery can vary from one study to another, and the attitudes of health care professionals regarding ERAS methods and the implementation of the ERAS for cesarean delivery remain unclear. We aimed to identify the attitudes of health professionals toward ERAS in the context of cesarean delivery. DATA SOURCES: Systematic searches were conducted in 6 databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, Scopus, the Cochrane Library, and Sage Journals from September 2010 to September 2020. STUDY SELECTION: A total of 4 articles were selected for analysis. All articles use survey methods and present health professional attitudes toward ERAS for cesarean delivery. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Data were extracted using Excel spreadsheets. The results obtained are presented descriptively. CONCLUSION: This review illustrates that there are many ERAS protocols that health care professionals have not yet implemented for cesarean delivery. Policymakers can use this knowledge to inform the promotion of the ERAS protocol for cesarean delivery.
