Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate the attitudes of Iranian nurses towards clinical information systems in nursing practice. Results show that clinical information systems impact on at least seven aspects of nursing practice, including documentation, patient safety, quality of treatment, communication, treatment management, nursing tasks and hospital resource management. Also, results indicate that one aspect of using clinical information systems in nursing practice is satisfaction with the 'quality and design of clinical information systems', such as ease of use and learning, flexibility and software speed.

Summary: End-of-life educational interventions were effective in improving nurses and nursing students' attitude toward death and care of dying patients. However, the sustainability of these improvements could not be determined due to lack of follow-up assessments. Both nurses and nursing students showed similar attitude improvement, suggesting the potential benefits of such interventions.

Summary: This meta-analysis demonstrated that exosome therapy is effective in improving the quality of diabetic wounds, with increased wound healing rate, neovascular density, re-epithelialization rate, and reduced scar width and inflammatory factors. Future studies should focus on large-scale, randomized, double-blind trials with high-quality, long-term follow-ups to identify the most efficient exosomes and therapeutic parameters for diabetic wound treatment.

Summary: This scoping review explores the existing knowledge in the literature about nurses' clinical leadership in the intensive care unit. The findings reveal that key competencies for intensive care unit nurses' clinical leadership include idealized influence, motivational inspiration, intellectual stimulation, and intrinsic individual consideration. Situational and transformational leadership styles are compatible in this setting. Communication skills and professional experience are important determinants in promoting clinical leadership in intensive care units.

Summary: This systematic review explores the effectiveness, acceptability, and cost of mHealth interventions in improving adolescent uptake of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The results show that these interventions can effectively improve adolescent's uptake of SRH services, especially in contraception. Interventions with interactive functions and more behavior change techniques embedded in them are more effective. However, the cost-effectiveness of these interventions needs further evaluation.

Summary: This study aims to understand the psycho-social process of health professionals caring for a dying patient for the first time in a hospital setting. The core category identified in this study is challenging professional boundaries. The study revealed three phases: building a relationship between patient/family and professionals, the disrupting impact, and the reaction phase. The analysis highlighted the initial strong impact on professionals, leading to emotional suffering and feelings of inadequacy. Additionally, the study found that the identified categories are relevant to all professionals involved, emphasizing the importance of interprofessional collaboration in end-of-life care.
