Froilan P. British Journal of Nursing 2022;31(5):294-295.
[The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the indispensable role of nurses in providing professional care and technical help to patients and their families. However, nursing science’s contribution to the body of knowledge in COVID-19 management, from its unique perspective, is not fully reflected in the existing literature.

The main thrust of the approach remains targeted at patient and health worker safety at the point of care where the risk of acquiring infection can be at its highest. Further work to help meet the Five Moments objectives through its adaptation and adoption worldwide is to be welcomed.]

Culturally adapting internet- and mobile-based health promotion interventions might not be worth the effort: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Balci S. npj Digital Medicine 2022;5:34.
[Adapting health promotion IMI to the cultural context of different cultural populations seems not yet to be recommendable given the substantial adaption efforts necessary and the mostly non-significant findings. However, these findings need to be seen as preliminary given the limited number of included trials with varying methodological rigor and the partly substantial between-trial heterogeneity pointing in the direction of potentially useful culturally adapted IMI.]

JAMA Network Open; 2022.
[This systematic review and meta-analysis of 26 studies comprising 779 individuals found that music interventions were associated with statistically and clinically significant changes in mental HRQOL, both preintervention to postintervention as well as when music interventions were added to treatment as usual vs treatment as usual control groups.]
