The combined searches produced 2733 articles (including duplicates). After duplicate articles were removed (n = 928), the research team screened the titles, abstracts, and full texts (when necessary) for eligibility (n = 1805). Two articles were identified that met our eligibility criteria. Conclusion for Practice: There is a lack of intervention research in women with stillbirth. It is imperative to develop and implement interventions to improve both mental and physical health in this population, especially in the interconception period (ie, stillbirth aftercare). Future intervention research is needed to determine appropriate support and efficacious delivery of support interventions, feasibility and effectiveness of physical activity interventions and complementary approaches, appropriate timing and dose of interventions, and culturally sensitive interventions appropriate for racial/ethnic minority women with stillbirth.
The number of systematic reviews (SRs) published continues to grow, and the methodology of evidence synthesis has been adopted in many fields outside of its traditional health sciences origins. SRs are now published in fields as wide ranging as business, environmental science, education, and engineering; however, there is little research looking at the nature and prevalence of non-health sciences systematic reviews (non-HSSRs). In this study, a large sample from the Scopus database was used as the basis for analyzing SRs published outside the health sciences. To map the current state of non-HSSRs, their characteristics were investigated and the subject areas publishing them determined. The results showed that a majority of the non-HSSRs examined were lacking at least one characteristic commonly expected in health sciences systematic review (HSSRs) methodology. The broad subject areas publishing non-HSSRs fall mostly within the social sciences and physical sciences.
BACKGROUND Generation Z (Gen Z; individuals born between 1995-2012) experience high rates of anxiety and depression. Most Gen Z identify with being religious and/or spiritual, and aspects from religions and spirituality can be integrated into mental health treatment and care as both are related to lower levels of depression [1]. However, research on Gen Z spiritual and mental health is sparse. To date, no systematic or scoping reviews on digital approaches to Gen Z spiritual and mental health exist. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the scoping review was to describe the current state of digital approaches to address spiritual and mental health among Gen Z, identify the knowledge gaps, and make suggestions for how to leverage digital spiritual and mental health interventions for Gen Z. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, PsycInfo, CINAHL, Education Full Text, Google Scholar, SocIndex, and Sociological Abstracts. Inclusion criteria for articles included: 1) study population born between 1995-2012 (i.e., Gen Z); 2) reported on spiritual health/well-being, spirituality or religion, and mental health/well-being; 3) reported on using digital approaches; 4) published in 1996 and beyond; 5) human subjects research; and 6) full-text article was available in English. Two authors screened articles and subsequently extracted data from the included articles to describe the available evidence. RESULTS A total of 243 articles were screened at the title and abstract level, of which 18 were further assessed at full text for eligibility. Three articles were identified for inclusion and data was extracted to summarize study characteristics and findings. The studies occurred across three different countries and each had a different design: one mixed-methods (South Africa), one cross-sectional study (China), and one randomized controlled trial (U.S.). CONCLUSIONS Few studies have focused on assessing Gen Z spiritual and mental health in the digital context, and no research to date has examined a digital spiritual and mental health application among Gen Z. Research is needed to inform the development and evaluation of approaches to address Gen Z spiritual and mental health via digital means (e.g., mobile applications).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
