Self-reported functional status among spinal cord injury patients using the spinal cord independence measures III: Integrative literature review
Increasing attention to engaging spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with their rehabilitation entails self-assessment of their functional status. The Spinal Cord Independence Measures Self-Report (SCIM-SR) was specifically developed to allow individuals with SCI to assess their functional status and report improvements or deficits. This review was done as a preliminary phase to examine the development process of the SCIM-SR and assess the advantages of using the SCI self-reported functional status measure in Qatar. An integrative literature review was conducted using Whittemore and Knafl’s framework searching three databases: CINAHL Embase and Medline. The initial search yielded 793 articles published between 2010 and 2022. After further evaluation of the literature 12 articles were included in the subsequent analysis. This integrative literature review identified two major themes: SCIM-SR tool development and the advantages of using SCIM-SR. Tool development involved tool translation language and cultural adaptation and psychometric testing. Reported advantages included increased patient engagement independence and convenience. This integrative review identified the required processes for translation language and culture adaptation and psychometric testing to facilitate the adoption of SCIM-SR in Qatar. To develop an Arabic version of the SCIM-SR following a specific guideline as described in this integrative review is recommended. Before implementing the Arabic SCIM-SR tool it is critical to evaluate its validity and reliability.
Factors influencing self-care management in adult hemodialysis patients: An integrative review
Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) poses a significant health challenge with hemodialysis (HD) being the most prevalent therapy. Patients undergoing HD must comply with a strict therapeutic regimen including dietary control fluid restriction and medication adherence. Successful disease management and improved outcomes rely on patients’ involvement and participation in their care.
Aim: To identify the factors that hinder or facilitate self-care management (SCM) in HD patients.
Methodology: This review followed Whittemore and Knafl’s integrative review framework. A comprehensive literature search of articles published between 2017 and 2022 was conducted in CINAHL Medline and PubMed using the keywords end-stage renal disease hemodialysis self-care management self-care and self-management. This search yielded 21 suitable articles for review.
Results: SCM is influenced by three main factors: facilitators barriers and outcomes. Facilitators of SCM include self-care management interventions patient knowledge socio-demographic factors family support healthcare professionals peer support and psychological factors. Barriers encompass psychological and physical conditions. Outcomes include both physiological and psychological aspects.
Conclusion: Understanding the factors influencing SCM in HD patients is vital for developing reliable and effective self-care strategies and interventions to enhance both physical and psychological outcomes.
