This is the protocol for an updated Campbell systematic review. The objectives are as follows: To evaluate the effect of behavioral interventions on smoking cessation among homeless individuals.

To explore the effect of rapid rehabilitation nursing model on surgical site wound infection and pain of patients with ovarian cancer. Computer searches were performed on randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of rapid rehabilitation nursing model applied to ovarian cancer patients in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed), VIP and Wanfang Database from the time each database was constructed to May 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data and completed an assessment of the quality of the literature based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. The database was searched to obtain 255 articles, and 22 articles were finally included, containing 966 patients in the experimental group and 954 patients in the control group, for a total of 1920 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed that, compared with other nursing models, the use of the rapid rehabilitation nursing model significantly reduced surgical site wound infections in patients with ovarian cancer (OR = 0.30, 95% CI: 0.15–0.61, p < 0.001) and the rate of post-operative complications (OR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.19–0.38, p < 0.001) also reduced the patients' post-operative wound pain (MD = −0.70, 95% CI: −0.85 to −0.55, p < 0.001). The rapid rehabilitation nursing model applied to patients with ovarian cancer surgery can effectively reduce the rate of post-operative complications and wound infections, and it can also reduce the post-operative wound pain.

BACKGROUND: Center-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR) has been shown to improve outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). Home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) can be an alternative to increase access for patients who cannot participate in CBCR. Hybrid cardiac rehabilitation (CR) combines short-term CBCR with HBCR, potentially allowing both flexibility and rigor. However, recent data comparing these initiatives have not been synthesized. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a meta-analysis to compare functional capacity and health-related quality of life (hr-QOL) outcomes in HF for (1) HBCR and usual care, (2) hybrid CR and usual care, and (3) HBCR and CBCR. A systematic search in 5 standard databases for randomized controlled trials was performed through January 31, 2019. Summary estimates were pooled using fixed- or random-effects (when I(2)>50%) meta-analyses. Standardized mean differences (95% CI) were used for distinct hr-QOL tools. We identified 31 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1791 HF participants. Among 18 studies that compared HBCR and usual care, participants in HBCR had improvement of peak oxygen uptake (2.39 mL/kg per minute; 95% CI, 0.28-4.49) and hr-QOL (16 studies; standardized mean difference: 0.38; 95% CI, 0.19-0.57). Nine RCTs that compared hybrid CR with usual care showed that hybrid CR had greater improvements in peak oxygen uptake (9.72 mL/kg per minute; 95% CI, 5.12-14.33) but not in hr-QOL (2 studies; standardized mean difference: 0.67; 95% CI, -0.20 to 1.54). Five studies comparing HBCR with CBCR showed similar improvements in functional capacity (0.0 mL/kg per minute; 95% CI, -1.93 to 1.92) and hr-QOL (4 studies; standardized mean difference: 0.11; 95% CI, -0.12 to 0.34). CONCLUSIONS: HBCR and hybrid CR significantly improved functional capacity, but only HBCR improved hr-QOL over usual care. However, both are potential alternatives for patients who are not suitable for CBCR.

AIMS: Previous reviews have revealed uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of home visit interventions for managing diabetes. Therefore, we performed a quantitative systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effects of home visit interventions among patients with diabetes. METHODS: We searched various electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, Wanfang, and Chinese scientific full-text databases) from their inception until March 2016. We included randomized controlled trials that included patients with diabetes and evaluated the effects of home visit programs on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) concentrations. Two reviewers independently used the Cochrane Collaboration methods to assess the included studies' risk of bias and quality. RESULTS: We included 7 randomized controlled trials with 686 participants. Compared to the usual care, the home visit group exhibited a greater reduction in HbA1c concentrations (mean difference [MD]: -0.79% [-9 mmol/mol], 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.93 to -0.25% [11 to -3 mmol/mol]; p < 0.05; I2 = 0%), systolic blood pressure (MD: -5.94 mmHg, 95% CI: -11.34 to -0.54 mmHg), and diastolic blood pressure (MD: -6.32 mmHg, 95% CI: -12.00 to -0.65 mmHg). Furthermore, home visits improved quality of life, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, total triglycerides, and self-management. However, there were no significant differences between the two groups in their body weight, total cholesterol, body mass index, and self-efficacy. CONCLUSION: Home visits were associated with improved glycemic control and reduced cardiovascular risk factors, which indicates that it is an effective method for diabetes management.
