“…This occurred despite our finding that all but three of the literature reviews had significant quality concerns, as identified through our use of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses or PRISMA () checklist which provides specific criteria for the creation of quality literature reviews. As such, a scoping or mapping review of all identified literature reviews was undertaken (Arksey & O'Malley, ; Cacchione, ; Levac, Colquhoun, & O'Brien, ).…”

“…This quality concern was identified despite many guides on how to conducting high-quality literature reviews being in existence now and readily available for use. There is considerable overlap as well among them in relation to recommended literature search and review methods (AMSTAR, 2015;Baker, 2016;Cacchione, 2016;Cronin, Ryan, & Coughlan, 2008;Fingeld-Connett & Johnson, 2012;Khan, Kunz, Kleijnen, & Antes, 2003, Walsh & Downe, 2005Whittemore & Knafl, 2005).…”

“…Nurse researchers, as well as numerous other disciplines' researchers, utilized scoping reviewsfor synthesizing research evidence and as a form of knowledge synthesis even though no agreed-upon unifying scoping review terminology, definition, definitive procedure, or purposeexist [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. However, the methodological steps outlined in the Arksey and O'Malley [17] framework published in 2005 and further enhanced by Levac et al [18] in 2010 are the most cited protocol for conducting scoping reviews across disciplines [20][21].…”

“…During the past 18 years, nurse researchers utilized and grew the scoping review methodology [21][22][23][24][25][26]. The scoping review methodology emerged as an alternative to the traditional literature review and systematic reviews because scoping reviews required less time and fewer resources [27].…”

Aim: The aim of the scoping review for the interpreting nursing metatheory study was to determine the presence or absence of metatheory in the nursing literature, to interpret nursing metatheory, and to determine if the Complexity Integration Nursing Theory is the primary metatheory for unifying the profession of nursing. Methods: Conducted a systematic interpretive scoping review using a modified Arksey and O'Malley framework involving 13 databases, gray literature, secondary sources of nursing theory textbooks, and six subjectively selected interdisciplinary metatheorieswith application to nursing published between 1987 and 2012 with nursing applications published within one year or up to 11 years. Evaluated identified nursing metatheories using the nine questions for interpreting nursing metatheory. Results: The interpreting nursing metatheory study retrieved seven nursing metatheories through electronic database searches, nursing theory textbooks, interdisciplinary metatheories, and gray literature; that met inclusion criteria for using the nine questions of interpreting nursing metatheory. One nursing metatheory, the Complexity Integration Nursing Theory, met all nine questions and acknowledged all nursing theories past, present, and future, and focused on the individual nurse regardless of nursing practice domain; one nursing metatheory met eight, one met seven, one met six, one met four, and two met three out of nine questions. Conclusion:The interpreting nursing metatheory scoping review provides an important high-level synthesis of nursing metatheory research, confirms the absence of nursing metatheory in primary and secondary nursing literature, and highlights the overall need for increased sophisticated methodological approaches to metatheory research in nursing especially with the trend towards interdisciplinary metatheory. The Complexity Integration Nursing Theory was the only nursing metatheory meeting all of the interpreting nursing metatheory questions and is the primary metatheory for unifying the profession of nursing.

BackgroundDespite being largely preventable, many occupational diseases continue to be highly prevalent and extremely costly. Effective strategies are required to reduce their human, economic, and social impacts.MethodsTo better understand which approaches are most likely to lead to progress in preventing noise‐related hearing loss, occupational contact dermatitis, occupational cancers, and occupational asthma, we undertook a scoping review and consulted with a number of key informants.ResultsWe examined a total of 404 articles and found that various types of interventions are reported to contribute to occupational disease prevention but each has its limitations and each is often insufficient on its own. Our principal findings included: legislation and regulations can be an effective means of primary prevention, but their impact depends on both the nature of the regulations and the degree of enforcement; measures across the hierarchy of controls can reduce the risk of some of these diseases and reduce exposures; monitoring, surveillance, and screening are effective prevention tools and for evaluating the impact of legislative/policy change; the effect of education and training is context‐dependent and influenced by the manner of delivery; and, multifaceted interventions are often more effective than ones consisting of a single activity.ConclusionsThis scoping review identifies occupational disease prevention strategies worthy of further exploration by decisionmakers and stakeholders and of future systematic evaluation by researchers. It also identified important gaps, including a lack of studies of precarious workers and the need for more studies that rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
