Grief and bereavement is often present among patients and families during courses of cancer. Offering support for both patients and families is essential in the context of cancer nursing. Present scoping review offers an overview of existing knowledge, which can be used for inspiration in cancer-nursing. Hence, the objective of this study was to identify understandings of grief and bereavement, which is present in a cancer-nursing context and to develop insight on existing knowledge about nursing interventions targeted patients and their families' experiences of grief and bereavement due to cancer illness. The scoping review is conducted, inspired by the methodology of Joanna Briggs Institute. Sources of evidence are retrieved from a large number of databases and resources. Twenty-two studies are included in the scoping review. The studies are retrieved from eight different countries. Findings are mapped in nine categories. Eight categories related to nursing care targeted patients and/or families experiencing grief and/or bereavement; One category related to understandings of grief and/or bereavement targeted patients and families. Nursing interventions to support patients and their families during grief and bereavement covers a broad spectrum of interventions. E.g. communication; using artwork; cultural and spiritual care; bereavement care; supporting coping strategies. Different models and theoretical understandings were identified. E.g. The dual process model of coping with bereavement; A Divorced Family-focused Care Model; Family Strengths-Oriented Therapeutic Conversation (Fam-SOTC); and understandings of children's grieving process.

Malnutrition among community‐dwelling older adults (OAs) is prevalent, particularly in groups using healthcare services. Malnutrition burdens health, social, and aged‐care systems in terms of expenses for hospital admissions and care in nursing homes and home care settings. Effective management requires early identification and multimodal interventions; however, studies report a significant gap between recommended nutrition interventions and current healthcare practices. Therefore, this study aimed to identify, present, and map existing evidence on barriers and facilitators in the implementation of nutrition interventions among OAs living in noninstitutional municipal healthcare settings. A scoping review following the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) extension for Scoping Reviews checklist were conducted. The study included evidence from bibliographic databases and gray‐evidence sources that identify barriers and/or facilitators from stakeholder perspectives that influence the implementation of nutrition interventions for malnutrition prevention or treatment among OAs (≥65 years) in noninstitutional municipal healthcare settings. Stakeholders were OAs, informal caregivers, or healthcare professionals (HCPs). Thirty‐seven articles were included and 10 categories identified. Barriers were (1) lack of knowledge and awareness among HCPs, (2) lack of resources, (3) lack of collaboration and communication, (4) missing links between healthcare settings, and (5) poor insight among OAs and caregivers. Facilitators were (1) education and training of HCPs, (2) self‐care, (3) person‐centered care, (4) technology in nutrition care, and (5) social and psychological factors. Findings from this review indicate an imperative need for targeted implementation strategies for developing evidence‐based nutrition home care practice.

Professional identity formation is a pivotal element of nursing education shaped by educational structures and by the roles of clinical supervisors and educators. This qualitative study examines how these stakeholders perceive their role in supporting nursing students' professional identity development and the conditions that influence this process. The empirical material was generated from six focus groups with clinical supervisors from somatic, psychiatric, and home care settings, and educators from diverse teams at a university college. Drawing on critical psychological practice research, the analysis centers on participants' interpretations, their reasons for acting as they do, and the broader societal and institutional conditions framing their practice. Three themes emerged: challenges arising from dual roles, perceived student vulnerability and its impact on the learning process, and a constructed distinction between professionalism and personality in identity formation. The findings illustrate the complex dynamics that, according to participants, shape nursing students' professional identity and highlight the importance of moving beyond explanations of individual shortcomings toward an understanding of challenges as embedded in everyday educational practices. This perspective emphasizes the need for structural changes that foster collaborative and reflective practices and better support students, clinical supervisors, and educators in navigating the complexities of nursing education.

Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to examine and map the existing literature on the clinical application of the EOS imaging system and to identify related evidence gaps. Introduction: The EOS imaging system was originally developed to conduct imaging for medical conditions, such as scoliosis and anisomelia. However, recent research suggests that the modality has other clinical uses that may benefit patients via reduced radiation dose and, thus, improve patient safety. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider all quantitative study designs, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Imaging phantom studies and conference abstracts will be excluded. Methods: Databases that will be searched include Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Academic Search Premier, and OpenGrey. Relevant secondary material will be identified using citation searching (backwards and forwards) of included studies through Google Scholar. In addition, we will search by author name where more than 3 included studies from the same first author are identified. Articles published from 2003 in English, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, French, and German will be included. Two independent reviewers will perform title/abstract screening, followed by full-text screening. Data extraction will include study type and design, age of participants, anatomical/physiological region, pathology, clinical endpoint, outcome measures, sample size, and clinical application. Data will be presented in tabular format and as a narrative summary. Details of the review available at: Open Science Framework https://osf.io/yc85j/

Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to systematically identify and summarize the existing literature on non-spinal clinical applications of EOS imaging and identify related evidence gaps. Method: The study followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A systematic literature search was conducted in Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, Academic Search Premier, and OpenGrey databases in November 2022 and updated in December 2023. Original research from 2003 to 2023 was eligible if in English, Danish, French, German, Norwegian, or Swedish. Two authors screened articles by title and abstract, while data extraction from full texts was performed by seven authors using a structured template. Results: A total of 8176 articles were identified, with 1350 selected for full-text review and 268 included in data extraction. Among adults, 187 articles were included, with 88 focused on surgical applications like hip arthroplasty or osteotomy. In pediatrics, 68 general and 13 surgery-related articles were included. Lower extremity analysis was the most frequent topic, with other uses identified, such as rib cage geometry, patellar dislocation, and X-linked hypophosphatemia. Conclusions: Key clinical applications of EOS imaging include lower extremity analysis, e.g., leg length assessment and knee/hip arthroplasty planning), pelvic and spinal alignment studies, and emerging uses in rib cage geometry. Evidence gaps include limited research on the diagnostic accuracy of EOS for cerebral shunt placement, reliability in bone age estimation, and an unclear role in foot and ankle morphology.
