This review aimed to synthesize the available evidence on exploring various factors that affect knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. ⋯ KAP towards CRC screening is suboptimal among the general public, healthcare professionals, students, educators, and pharmacists worldwide. Routine CRC screening counselling is paramount to improving screening rates. Continuous medical education and training programmes are essential for healthcare professionals to enhance their KAP towards CRC screening. Students and university teachers should be educated and trained about CRC screening to improve their knowledge and foster positive behavioural changes. These comprehensive measures are critical for establishing an effective screening programme.

The effect of the Watson model-based psycho-educational intervention on preventing postpartum depression.
Psycho-education application is effective in reducing the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) and increasing the level of social support. The quality of care increases with the implementation of Watson's Theory of Human Caring Model (WTHCM)-based care programs to reduce the risk of PPD. ⋯ The Watson's Theory of Human Caring Model-based psycho-educational intervention program decreased women's risk of PPD and increased their social support levels. It is recommended to use approaches that include psycho-educational intervention in postpartum midwifery care.

To analyse the general and primary outcome-related characteristics of clinical trials protocols on COVID-19 vaccines. ⋯ the primary outcomes of clinical trials on COVID-19 vaccines are poorly described, and the registers provide insufficient information about them. The registry was retrospectively fulfilled for many trials, which may lead to bias and research waste. Outcomes were generically described and did not provide transparent information for replication in practice, further trials or meta-analyses.

The change of IgG of COVID-19 vaccine was thought to be an effect of diet quality or daily habits. ⋯ Medium diet quality has been seen to affect antibody levels positively. At the same time, it is thought that alcohol use negatively affects serum IgG antibody response in the long term. Other than that, there was shown to be a correlation between IgG levels and DQI.
