SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTER
JBI has developed a collection of world-class resources driven by the needs of health professionals and consumers worldwide.
Registration of Systematic Review Titles
Please note: this register is for the use of JBI affiliated entities ONLY. Registration of a systematic review title on the JBI website is to promote collaboration between affiliated entities via highlighting current work to other JBI review authors and to recognise that the registered topic is currently in development to avoid any unintended and/or unnecessary duplication of research effort.
Registered systematic reviews that are currently underway are listed below. Protocols for these reviews may already be published or in preparation for publication within six months of initial registration. To avoid duplication, titles in this list should not be replicated by other review authors. Please contact the listed Primary Reviewer or the JBI Synthesis Science Unit if you would like further information about any of these registered reviews.
Registration of titles on this web page does not in any way constitute acceptance of the topic by JBI Evidence Synthesis.

The review will consider studies that include adults 18 years or over, diagnosed with CHD, adults with co-morbidities in any setting will also be included. The review will consider studies with interventions such as informal or formal education programs (provided individually or as a group), printed visual information (e.g., flyers, booklets), or information presented in audio or video. These interventions can be provided separately or in combination to improve health literacy. |

The impact of family presence at the bedside of critically ill children in the pediatric intensive care unit on health-related outcomes: a scoping review | Nicole Fakhory | Aligning Health Needs and Evidence for Transformative Change (AH-NET-C): A JBI Centre of Excellence | 2021-07-05 | Aligning Health Needs and Evidence for Transformative Change (AH-NET-C): A JBI Centre of Excellence
Nicole Fakhory
Critically ill children (birth to 18 years) admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and their family members. Family members will include anyone who self-identifies as a family member. We will includes studies that examine the impact for family presence on healthcare providers, and define healthcare providers as members of the child's PICU care team who interact directly with parents and children at the bedside. Our concept of interest is family presence at the bedside. We conceive of family presence as presence that involves the child-family member dyad, rather than explorations that involve healthcare provider-family member dyads. We will consider presence that is either active (family member participation in an element of care) or passive (family member sitting in the room with the child). We will not include studies that examine the impact of family member participation in an element of care, unless the study design includes a comparison of presence versus non-presence. |

Christina Cantin
Newborns, 28 days of age or less, with in-utero exposure to antidepressant medication in any trimester of pregnancy. Infant feeding method will be categorized in four ways: exclusive breastfeeding at the breast; expressed breastmilk of mothers' own milk by any method (e.g. bottle, supplemental nursing system, syringe, spoon, or cup); mixed feeding which is a combination breastmilk, formula or pasteurized human donor breast milk; and formula feeding via bottle. |

Hospital-based patient navigation programs for injury-related trauma patients and their caregivers: a scoping review protocol | Shelley Doucet | The University of New Brunswick (UNB) Saint John Collaboration for Evidence-Informed Healthcare: A JBI Centre of Excellence | 2021-06-24 | The University of New Brunswick (UNB) Saint John Collaboration for Evidence-Informed Healthcare: A JBI Centre of Excellence
Shelley Doucet
This scoping review will focus on injury-related trauma patients and/or their caregivers. Injury-related trauma patients include individuals who experience physical injuries that occur suddenly and with enough severity to require immediate medical attention. It excludes non-injury-related trauma patients. Aside from condition, this review is not specific to any age, sex, ethnicity, or other demographic variables. The main concept is patient navigation programs for injury-related trauma patients and/or their caregivers. Patient navigation will be defined as a partnership between a patient, caregiver, or member(s) of the care team and a patient navigator (including professional, lay, or peer navigators) which facilitates timely access to health and/or community services and resources, and fosters self-management and autonomy through education and emotional support. Impact is the secondary concept of this scoping review. This review will consider articles that report impact employing a variety of evaluation methods. |
