The latest issue has been released!
The latest issue of JBI Evidence Synthesis is out now! This issue delves into the complex nature of conducting evidence synthesis, highlighting an unforeseen challenge throughout the process; not knowing how much data is available on the topic of the review question.
The author of an editorial in the latest issue of JBI Evidence Synthesis discusses the challenge of wading through enormous amounts of data to separate the relevant from the irrelevant, which is especially applicable when conducting large scoping reviews –defined as 100 sources of evidence or more. Read editorial for more on managing the inherent challenges of large scoping reviews.
Whilst on the topic of scoping reviews, the first evidence synthesis article in this issue is a new scoping review which set out to explore the role of adverse drug events (ADEs) caused by pharmacological interventions in cost-effectiveness models for diabetes mellitus, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic macular edema, to better understand the current practices of economic evaluation.
Another scoping review aims to map the available evidence worldwide on strategies that nurses can use to address health disparities in genomics-informed care, given they work across the health system and can address these health disparities from various perspectives, including clinical, research, education, policy, and leadership.
The third evidence synthesis in the latest issue of JBI Evidence Synthesis is a qualitative systematic review that explores the experiences of pregnant nurses working shifts, highlighting the various risks associated with working while pregnant, such as psychological and physiological problems, among others.
