To identify, critically appraise and summarize the measurement properties of instruments to assess self-care in healthy children. ⋯ The evidence available does not allow firm conclusions about the instruments identified in terms of reliability and validity. Future research should focus on generate evidence about a wider range of measurement properties of these instruments using a rigorous methodology, as well as instrument testing on different countries and child population.

Review Comparative Study
What is the impact of shift work on the psychological functioning and resilience of nurses? An integrative review.
To synthesize existing research to determine if nurses who work shifts have poorer psychological functioning and resilience than nurses who do not work shifts. ⋯ More studies are required which directly compare the psychological outcomes and resilience of nurse shift workers with non-shift workers.

The aims of this study were as follows: to identify instruments developed to assess self-care in healthy adults; to determine the theory on which they were based; their validity and reliability properties and to synthesize the evidence on their measurement properties. ⋯ Despite the development of several instruments to assess self-care in the adult population, no instrument can be fully recommended to clinical nurses and researchers. Further studies of high methodological quality are needed to confirm the measurement properties of these instruments.

Review Meta Analysis
A mixed-methods systematic review of the effects of mindfulness on nurses.
To review the effects of mindfulness-based interventions on Registered Nurses and nursing students. ⋯ Mindfulness appeared to improve nurses' mental health significantly. It could be used in worksite health promotion programmes. Only a few studies have explored the impact of mindfulness on nurses' professional behaviours and their relationships with patients and colleagues. Future research should further explore the long-term impacts of mindfulness on performance and well-being at work using sound methodological designs.
