Introduction. Caregivers of children with chronic illness are at risk of having impairment in their quality of life (QOL). We systematically reviewed the available literature related to the Health Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL) of caregivers of children with Phenylketonuria (PKU). Methods. We comprehensively searched in electronic databases including Scopus, Science Direct, CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, Google scholar, and ProQuest. The search criteria included studies with samples more than one, children suffering from PKU, exploring parents or primary caregiver’s HRQOL, published from 2010 to 2020, full article available for download and published in English. Eight studies including 5 cross sectional studies, 1 open label trial, and 2 surveys were systematically reviewed. Results. Seven out of 8 studies have established a negative correlation between PKU and parent’s HRQOL in at least 1 of the domains. In one study, the HRQOL of parents is higher than their population norms. Conclusion. Most of the caregivers had poor to moderate HRQOL. More studies are required to explore HRQOL of caregivers of children with PKU using similar tools and outcome measures addressing all the domains of HRQOL in order to have more clarity on the impact of PKU on caregiver’s HRQOL. Interventional studies might help in improving the HRQOL of caregivers.

Workplace environment can have a considerable impact on the physical, psychological and maternal health of pregnant healthcare workers. This article aimed to summarise the impact of work-related ergonomic stressors on pregnancy outcomes for healthcare workers, along with potential interventions to resolve these stressors. A narrative review analysis using the Pearl Growing Strategy was conducted between February 2019 and June 2020 to identify English-language articles published between 2000 and 2020. A total of 89 studies were identified from the SCOPUS (Elsevier, Amsterdam, Netherlands), MEDLINE® (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland, USA) databases and Google Scholar (Google LLC, Menlo Park, California, USA). The results indicated that poor work-related ergonomics had detrimental effects on pregnancy outcomes, resulting in spontaneous abortions, preterm delivery, low birth weight babies and infertility. Policymakers and employers should conduct ergonomic assessments and implement appropriate practices to ensure the safety of pregnant healthcare workers. Keywords: Healthcare Workers; Physical Ergonomics; Pregnancy Outcomes; Occupational Health; Occupational Exposure.

Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has alarmed an urgent change in all spectra on the lives of people including education sector. Objective: This narrative review summarizes the challenges of online education in nursing and explores the possible opportunities to improve or maintain the standards of nursing education. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was done to identify the challenges of online education in nursing. Seven primary studies meeting the inclusion criteria, published from the onset of COVID-19 until 5 th September 2020 were included in this narrative review. Results: The available literature shows that, students are missing the practical aspects of nursing care, the real essence of nursing education during e-learning, cancellation of international training, loss of job opportunities due to lack of confidence in their skill are bothersome for students and educators. Success of e-learning is also affected by internet connectivity issues, problem with electricity and lack of computer literacy. At the same time, it is found that online education delivery is substituting theory learning to a great extent, however practical training remains indispensable for nursing education. Conclusion: Continuous engagement and motivation from the part of both the students and nurse educators is very essential in meeting the educational needs during this crisis.

Teaching (in its various forms) is one of the most influential roles in society. After parenting, it is perhaps the most crucial, for all ages. And yet, teaching -whether to children or adults -is a profession in which few practitioners have any substantial training. Much of a teacher's success in the classroom is hinged on their use of teaching strategies, or to put it another way, their approach to their teaching, how they implement instructions, how they teach, how they communicate, and how they deliver information, how they communicate data to students.

With the advent of computers, there came computer-related crimes; hence, there comes the need for cybercrime judicial proceedings. And for any trial, evidence plays an instrumental role in bringing the victim to justice. So, there is a need for digital evidence. Digital crime evidence forms a core for the field of computer forensics. Breaking down the term digital crime evidence to be understood in simple words, it is the collection of data and information that plays a crucial role in digital crime investigation and that is usually stored and transmitted in electronic formats. Digital evidence is defined as any data stored or transmitted using a computer that supports or refute a theory of how an offense occurred or that address critical elements of the offense such as intent or alibi. This data is commonly a combination of text, audio, images, and videos. This evidence is generally invisible, fragile, time-sensitive, and integrity will be lost if they are mishandled.

Background: Mental health care professionals across the globe should be prepared to contain the spread of COVID-19 among clients with mental illness and should adopt appropriate strategies to manage them effectively. Objective: The objective of this review was to summarize the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health delivery. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was done to identify the effect of COVID-19 global pandemic in mental health delivery. Articles addressing mental health concerns of COVID-19 and its impact on preexisting mental illness and mental health care delivery, available free download in English language were included. A total of nine primary studies published from the onset of COVID-19 until 15th July 2020 were referred to prepare this narrative review. Result: There is evidence that patients with preexisting mental illnesses shows increase in stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances and COVID-19 related delusions and hallucinations during this global pandemic. The proposed drug treatment for COVID-19 and the imposed restrictions on the public to prevent the spread of the disease had resulted in exacerbation of existing mental illness or triggered new mental illness. Conclusion: There should be more research coming up to understand the real effect of COVID-19 on mental health care delivery and possible alternatives to global mental health delivery at the time of global pandemic.
