Summary: This literature analysis reveals that there is no consistent definition of the concept of fundamental care. The main findings of the study emphasize the importance of communication, the contextual environment, leadership influence, and nurse-patient relationship in providing effective and high-quality care. This definition of fundamental care will have an impact on nurse leaders and researchers in promoting and enhancing the examination and application of fundamental care in clinical practice.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the attributes and characteristics of the positive component of Mental Health Literacy (PMeHL) and explore its theoretical and practical applications. The study found that PMeHL is considered a component of Mental Health Literacy and includes attributes such as problem-solving skills, personal satisfaction, autonomy, interpersonal relationship skills, self-control, and a prosocial attitude. Understanding the antecedents and consequences of PMeHL can help improve mental health and promote healthy behaviors. Therefore, it is important to prioritize primary research focused on nursing interventions that enhance and sustain PMeHL in individuals and families.

Summary: This study aims to enhance conceptual clarity and interdisciplinary understanding of structural violence by synthesizing scholarly literature, defining key attributes, antecedents, consequences, and contextualizing the phenomenon over time and across disciplines. The analysis identified five interrelated attributes characterizing structural violence: power, marginality, oppression, adversity, and trauma. The study provides a strong foundation for continued development and operationalization of the concept, and further research is needed to substantiate the relationship between structural violence and health inequity.

Summary: This study aimed to summarize the literature on how service users view the involvement of family in their engagement with mental health services and care. The findings indicated that family involvement can have both positive and negative aspects; there are barriers to family involvement; family involvement varies; and communication and collaboration among stakeholders are important. Despite the reported benefits, including families in mental health care does not always occur. Therefore, a clearer understanding of service users' needs and preferences for family involvement is needed.

Summary: This study conducted a critical review of academic research from 2005 to 2021 on mental health consumer perspectives on their physical and mental health. It found that consumer perspectives were not adequately represented compared to clinician perspectives, and consumer perspectives were missing in the investigation of structural factors. The study also recommended the use of codesigned and coproduced research approaches to better address the health needs of consumers.

Summary: Children with complex care needs require improved access to healthcare services, communication, and support from healthcare professionals. Integrated care, which involves interdisciplinary teams and digital health technologies, is seen as crucial for meeting their individualized needs. However, there is a lack of clarity in the definition and delivery of integrated care for these children, highlighting the need for further research on measuring integrated care.

Summary: This study simulated the impact of allowing direct access to some Medicare-subsidised mental health care sessions and increasing the growth rate of mental health care capacity on population mental health indicators. The results showed that direct access increased the numbers of emergency department presentations, hospitalisations with self-harm, and deaths by suicide, while increased capacity growth reduced these adverse outcomes. The optimal combination was achieved by combining direct access and increased service capacity growth.

Summary: This study used the concept analysis method to define and analyze the concept of psychological birth trauma. The results showed that psychological birth trauma is a more complex and comprehensive concept than previously thought, and should be regarded as a separate postpartum mental health problem. This study provides suggestions for the prevention, identification, and intervention of psychological birth trauma and serves as a reference for the development of rigorous assessment tools and appropriate interventions in the future.

A systematic review of studies incorporating patient involvement in service development was conducted, and it was found that more extensive forms of involvement were associated with more positive and substantial service effectiveness.
