New technologies, namely eHealth platforms, are being used more than ever before. These platforms enable older people to have a more independent lifestyle, enhance their participation, and improve their well-being. Information and communication technologies are expected to be linked to the triad of aging, social inclusion, and active participation, which is in line with the implementation of Smart Healthy and Age-Friendly Environments. This scoping review aimed to map eHealth platforms designed to promote autonomous life and active aging. The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and the PRISMA-ScR checklist were used. A search was conducted on MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL Complete (via EBSCOhost), Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (via EBSCOhost), SciELO, DART-Europe, CAPES, and MedNar databases. Fourteen studies were included. This scoping review synthesized information on eHealth platforms designed to promote active living, their domains of intervention, and the outcomes assessed in those studies that have implemented and evaluated these eHealth platforms.

The aging process is characterized by diverse and complex changes in the individual’s various dimensions, requiring continuous adaptation. In this sense, this transition can be faced from an active aging standpoint through strategies such as intergenerationality programs/projects, resulting in an active social participation and valorization that is so important to life in society. This review aimed to map existing programs/projects to promote interaction between children and older adults in Portugal to understand the extent and type of evidence available. A scoping review was developed guided by the JBI methodology and using PRISMA-ScR. The studies included six programs/projects promoting intergenerationality identified in Portugal, focusing their actions on promoting active aging and preventing problems associated with aging. The evaluated dimensions along the implementation of these programs were in the cognitive, motor, emotional and communicational domains, including parameters such as self-esteem, self-confidence, self-worth, well-being, loneliness and depression. These programs/projects present themselves as potential senior mental health promoters. However, other dimensions have been evaluated during these programs’/projects’ applications.

This article addresses the importance of nursing supervision in shaping students' ethical thinking. The supervising nurse plays a crucial role in the ethical and professional development of students, ensuring quality care and fostering the growth of the supervisee. The study proposes two objectives: to describe a nursing supervision situation and to analyze the ethical role of the supervisor in students' ethical formation. The adopted methodology is descriptive and reflective. Successful supervision depends on the quality of the relationship between supervisor and supervisee, as well as constant reflection on practice. Supervisors face challenges such as integrating theory and practice, supporting student development, and promoting their ethical thinking. A case study elucidates the importance of ethical supervision. A student faced ethical issues while caring for a patient. After joint reflection, the student understood the importance of informed consent and respect for patient autonomy. The supervisor played a fundamental role in guiding the student and promoting their critical thinking. In conclusion, ethical supervision is decisive for the development of students' ethical thinking in nursing. Reflection on practice, mediated by supervisors, is essential to promote students' critical and ethical thinking, empowering them to face the challenges of the profession responsibly and ethically.

Introduction: In increasingly aging societies, the life course towards aging should be a positive experience supported by interventions for promoting healthy lifestyles, namely through social interaction. Technological advancements, such as eHealth platforms, are becoming increasingly available and may facilitate a more autonomous life and promote active and healthy living. Objectives: To map eHealth platforms designed and used to promote autonomous life and active aging. Methods: This scoping review will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews. Two independent reviewers will appraise the articles and extract and synthesize data. This review will include studies published in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, without any time restrictions. The following databases will be searched: MEDLINE (via PubMed), CINAHL Complete (via EBSCOhost), Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (via EBSCOhost), SciELO, DART-Europe, CAPES, and MedNar. Results: This scoping review is expected to include studies addressing eHealth platforms that promote autonomous life and active aging. Conclusion: This scoping review will analyze and synthesize the available scientific evidence on using eHealth platforms to promote autonomous life and active aging. It may also be the basis for a systematic review and/or help identify gaps where it may be important to invest in the future.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review was to map the range of methodologies and methods used to undertake evidence synthesis aimed at determining barriers and/or enablers in health care, and to inform further research relevant to synthesis methodology in this area. Introduction: Questions related to identifying and exploring barriers and/or enablers within health care are becoming increasingly popular. Currently, there are multiple approaches to synthesizing this evidence, and it is unclear whether a more consistent approach is warranted. Eligibility criteria: Evidence synthesis on barriers and/or enablers (facilitators) that included interest-holders at different levels of the health system were considered. Evidence synthesis projects had to include primary research studies and were published from 2010 to 2021. Literature reviews, narrative reviews, and umbrella reviews were excluded, as were reviews published in languages other than English. Methods: This scoping review followed JBI methodology and was based on a published a priori protocol and reported in line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). A 3-step search strategy using a combination of key terms and index headings was undertaken in October 2021 via the following databases/resources: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (Ovid), Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, JBI Evidence Synthesis , and EPPI-Centre Systematic Reviews. An extensive piloting process for screening and selection, and data extraction was undertaken due to the large number of reviewers involved. All records were screened independently by 2 reviewers, and any disagreements were resolved through either a third reviewer or discussion with a panel of reviewers. Extraction was undertaken using a customized form, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Data are presented via tables, figures, a word cloud, and an infographic, supplemented with a narrative synthesis. Results: Following completion of the search, 24,823 records were screened and 774 reviews were included in the scoping review. Systematic reviews were the most commonly used methodology (68%) to synthesize barrier and/or enabler questions. Reviews often included diverse types of evidence and involved an assessment of methodological quality (70%). Findings related to barriers and/or enablers were usually grouped and organized into categories, often by thematic methods (33%) or a narrative approach (20%). Incongruencies related to nomenclature, missing information, and methods used were evident across the large dataset. Conclusions: A variety of methodological approaches are being followed to undertake reviews focused on barriers and/or enablers in health care. The current state of the literature indicates that most authors answer these questions via the conduct of a systematic review and include diverse types of evidence. Further work is needed to determine whether authors are unclear when deciding on methodology and whether guidance is required.

Musculoskeletal injuries are a growing concern among adolescent athletes, with significant physical and psychological consequences. This integrative literature review aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with musculoskeletal injuries in adolescents engaged in sports and to explore the role of nursing interventions in their prevention. A systematic search was conducted across four databases and one gray literature source, including studies published between 2014 and 2024. Three descriptive studies were included, with evidence levels ranging from 3 to 4, according to the Joanna Briggs Institute classification. The main findings highlight that risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries include excessive training loads, inadequate sports technique, lack of professional supervision, improper use of equipment, and failure to recognize early signs of discomfort. Preventive nursing interventions were shown to be effective, particularly those focused on health education, proprioceptive training, and continuous monitoring. Multidisciplinary collaboration between nurses, coaches, and other health professionals emerged as a key strategy in creating safe sporting environments. Despite limitations such as the scarcity of studies on nursing-specific interventions in diverse sports contexts, this review supports the potential of structured, evidence-based nursing actions to reduce musculoskeletal injuries incidence, promote safer sports practices, and enhance adolescent athletes’ health outcomes.
