Summary: This review assessed the reporting and methodological quality of studies on ginger's effectiveness in managing nausea and vomiting. The findings support the use of ginger in chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and pregnancy-related symptoms. However, the methodological quality of the studies was deemed low. Improving the scientific quality of published meta-analyses is important in the future.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the preventive effect of ginger on postoperative nausea and vomiting. The results show that ginger can reduce the occurrence of postoperative nausea, but there was no significant difference in postoperative vomiting, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and antiemetic drug use. More high-quality and rigorous trials are needed to clarify the relationship between ginger intake and the reduction in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Summary: Rationing of nursing care (RONC) refers to necessary nursing tasks that nurses refuse or fail to do because of limited time, staffing level, or skill mix. This concept analysis study aimed to define and analyze the meaning, attributes, dimensions, antecedents, and consequences of RONC. Thirty-three articles, both qualitative and quantitative, were collected from electronic databases without date limitation. The study identified the four defining attributes of RONC, including the duty of performing nursing care, dealing with problems of doing nursing care, decision-making and prioritizing, and outcome. A theoretical definition and conceptual model of RONC were developed, which can be beneficial for nursing education, research, and organizational planning.

Summary: This study aimed to explore perceived support among older Iranian adults after the death of a child. The findings revealed that receiving support from family, entourages, and society helped the older parents heal from emotional pain. Providing support to others who have experienced a similar loss also played a protective role against the effects of child death. Monitoring the health of older parents through home care provided by nurses can help reduce the consequences of child death.
