Review Meta Analysis
The Effect of Coaching Programs on Physical Activity and Pain in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Coaching programs are used to achieve continuity in physical activity and reduce pain severity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Our aim was to examine the effects of coaching programs on physical activity and pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis through randomized controlled trials. ⋯ Face-to-face sessions and telephone interviews are recommended as part of a coaching program for the maintenance of physical activity and pain management in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Coaching programs can improve patients' functional status. There is a need to determine effective strategies by increasing awareness of the coaching programs implemented by nurses.

Validity and Reliability of Pain and Behavioral Scales for Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review.
To systematically review the instruments used to assess behavior, stress, and/or pain in preterm newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and verify the validity and reliability of these instruments. ⋯ Considering the assessments of inter-rater reliability, internal consistency, and quality of scales by COSMIN, the BIPP, and PIPP-R, were the scales considered appropriate.

Review
Improving Perioperative Pain Education for Patients Prescribed Opioids: An Integrative Review.
Postoperative pain is still inadequately managed for a significant number of patients despite the extensive use of opioids. Among several pain management strategies, patient education is a vital component of perioperative pain management. However, perioperative education practices remain inconsistent and incomplete in many hospital settings. ⋯ The findings from this review will help nursing professionals across surgical specialties identify effective educational approaches for patients prescribed opioids during the perioperative period. Developing education interventions based on these findings would enhance the quality and effectiveness of pain education, improve patient understanding and their preparedness to manage pain at home, and, ultimately, promote the safe use of opioids postoperatively.
