ReviewBest Evidence Summary of Home Enteral Tube Feeding Care Management in the Elderly.
To evaluate and summarize the best evidence of home enteral tube feeding (HETF) care management in the elderly to provide an evidence-based basis for caregivers to implement care interventions. ⋯ This study comprehensively summarized the best evidence of home enteral tube feeding care management in the elderly and provided a scientific basis for caregivers to implement care interventions. In home care settings, using evidence-based practices requires developing a comprehensive care management system based on the trinity of hospital, community and home, in order to reduce the incidence of HETF-related complications, improve the quality of life of the elderly with HETF, and provide a practical reference for NST members and caregivers.

ReviewA Systematic Review Uncovering Modifiable Influences on Statin Adherence.
Statins are effective in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but adherence rates remain low globally. Understanding and addressing modifiable influences on adherence is key to improving outcomes. Existing reviews have methodological limitations, often failing to integrate qualitative and quantitative data or consider specific barriers to statin adherence. ⋯ While side effects had inconsistent associations with adherence, forgetfulness was mainly addressed in quantitative studies, and social influences were highlighted in qualitative research. This review identified modifiable factors that could improve statin adherence. Future research should focus on addressing barriers faced by underrepresented groups to create more inclusive and effective interventions that enhance patient support and communication for better health outcomes.

Experiences of Oral Corticosteroid Use and Adverse Effects: A National Cross-Sectional Survey of People with Asthma.
Oral corticosteroids (OCS) are an effective treatment for severe uncontrolled asthma or asthma exacerbations, but frequent bursts or long-term use carry serious and sometimes irreversible adverse effects, or complications such as adrenal insufficiency upon discontinuation. Our aim was to survey people with asthma on their experiences of, and attitudes towards, using OCS. ⋯ Adverse effects of OCS use are common. People with asthma are not adequately informed about optimal OCS use or strategies to reduce overuse. These findings can help guide the implementation of OCS stewardship initiatives.

Barriers and Facilitators to Adherence to a Healthy Diet Across the Spectrum of Chronic Kidney Disease.
A healthy diet plays an important role for chronic kidney disease (CKD) treatment, but adherence to nutritional recommendations is frequently low. The aim of the present study was to describe barriers and facilitators to adherence to a healthy diet in people with CKD. ⋯ Personal, environmental, health professional-related, CKD related as well as feelings and emotions aspects that people with CKD face in a daily basis, act as barriers or facilitators when trying to follow a healthy diet. Individualizing nutritional treatment taking into account people with CKD perspectives and situations is of utmost importance to improve adherence to nutritional treatment.
