“…As an example, the search in CINAHL with Full Text is shown in Table 1 , and the full literature search comprising all the selected databases is shown in the supplementary material. The final step of the literature search process was a ‘ citation pearl searching ’ [ 51 ], i.e. an examination of the reference lists of all included studies.…”

Purpose To identify and summarise extant knowledge about patient ethnicity and the use of various types of restrictive practices in adult mental health inpatient settings. Methods A scoping review methodological framework recommended by the JBI was used. A systematic search was conducted in APA PsycINFO, CINAHL with Full Text, Embase, PubMed and Scopus. Additionally, grey literature searches were conducted in Google, OpenGrey and selected websites, and the reference lists of included studies were explored. Results Altogether, 38 studies were included: 34 were primary studies; 4, reviews. The geographical settings were as follows: Europe ( n = 26), Western Pacific ( n = 8), Americas ( n = 3) and South-East Asia ( n = 1). In primary studies, ethnicity was reported according to migrant/national status ( n = 16), mixed categories ( n = 12), indigenous vs. non-indigenous ( n = 5), region of origin ( n = 1), sub-categories of indigenous people ( n = 1) and religion ( n = 1). In reviews, ethnicity was not comparable. The categories of restrictive practices included seclusion, which was widely reported across the studies ( n = 20), multiple restrictive practices studied concurrently ( n = 17), mechanical restraint ( n = 8), rapid tranquillisation ( n = 7) and manual restraint ( n = 1). Conclusions Ethnic disparities in restrictive practice use in adult mental health inpatient settings has received some scholarly attention. Evidence suggests that certain ethnic minorities were more likely to experience restrictive practices than other groups. However, extant research was characterised by a lack of consensus and continuity. Furthermore, widely different definitions of ethnicity and restrictive practices were used, which hampers researchers’ and clinicians’ understanding of the issue. Further research in this field may improve mental health practice. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00127-022-02387-8.

“…Additionally, relevant search terms were included specifically for the purpose of this study. As shown in Table 1, a block search strategy (De Brún & Pearce‐Smith, 2014) was used to divide the searches into three topic blocks: Dementia, Care and Orthopaedic, and combined with the Boolean operator AND to retrieve results for each database. Based on the final results from the systematic literature search and selection process, a further “citation pearl searching” strategy using the related articles function in the databases and snowballing (De Brún & Pearce‐Smith, 2014) was carried out.…”

Aims and Objectives:This integrative literature review is to collect what is known about the care of people with dementia when they require a hospital admission for an orthopaedic surgical procedure and to contribute to developing an evidence-base to support nursing practice when caring for people with dementia in an orthopaedic setting.Background: People with a dementia diagnosis are increasingly common in acute orthopaedic care settings and the admission exposes people with dementia to risks during their hospital stay. In addition, nurses find people with dementia challenging to care for due to the complexity of dual conditions. Little is known specifically about the care requirements for people with dementia in orthopaedic settings. Design: Integrative literature review. Methods: An integrative literature review and qualitative deductive content analysis using McCormack and McCance's theoretical nursing framework (Person-Centred Nursing Framework) of nine studies were undertaken. The process of the review was guided by PRISMA checklist. Results:The care environment and resistance either in passive form, or through physical intervention, is common in orthopaedic nursing. Planning and delivering care for physical, cognitive and emotional needs is identified as being difficult, resulting in a lack of inclusion for patients, partly due to communication challenges. Finding ways to implement tailored care plans within standard ward routines proves difficult, and the consequence is a less than optimal care experience with adverse effects on patients characterised by an increase in dementia symptoms.Conclusions: Care for people with dementia in an orthopaedic setting is complex. It needs to be further studied so that more evidence and supporting literature can contribute to improved care for this group of patients. Relevance to Clinical Practice:This study describes the complexity of providing fundamental care for people with dual conditions of dementia and orthopaedic injury and suggests opportunities for improvement.

“…ChildLink and Safeguarding Adults at Risk Information Hub were excluded because the databases had insufficient facilities for running a complex search. Both were unable to utilize Boolean operators to combine terms (De Brun & Pearce-Smith, 2009). ChildLink could not filter search results according to publication type and limited a search to a maximum of 128 characters, including spaces, which was inadequate to include all necessary concepts and terms.…”

“…A draft search strategy was developed for databases hosted on the Proquest platform using the Boolean phrase “AND” to combine terms and “OR” to include the various terms (De Brun & Pearce-Smith, 2009): (“Social work” OR “social service” OR “case management” OR “care management” OR “case work” OR “human services”) AND (Experience OR perspective OR belie* OR response OR reaction OR perception OR opinion) AND (bureaucra* OR managerialism OR “new public management” OR “performance management” OR audit OR “paperwork” OR “form-talk”).…”

Context: In response to the growth of evidence-based practice in social work, systematic literature reviews offer significant value to social work but are often met with concerns of time scarcity. Purpose: Through a case study search strategy addressing the research question “What are practicing frontline social workers’ experiences of bureaucracy?,” this article seeks to promote efficiency by providing a practical guide for conducting systematic literature searches and an appraisal of database performance in qualitative social work research. Method: The total citations, unique hits, sensitivity, and precision for each database were calculated before conducting a cross-study comparison with three previously published social work systematic searches to identify emerging performance trends. Results/Conclusion: Relying on a single database is subject to bias and will not provide comprehensive or sensitive findings; however, due to consistent high performance across four systematic searches, Applied Social Science Index and Abstracts, Social Services Abstracts, and Social Science Citation Index are recommended for future literature searching in social work.
