Article Abstract
Introduction: Recruitment to randomised trials (RCTs) is often challenging. Reviews of interventions to improve recruitment have highlighted a paucity of effective interventions aimed at recruiters and the need for further research in this area. Understanding the perspectives and experiences of those involved in RCT recruitment can help to identify barriers and facilitators to recruitment, and subsequently inform future interventions to support recruitment. This protocol describes methods for a proposed qualitative evidence synthesis (QES) of recruiters' perspectives and experiences relating to RCT recruitment.
Methods And Analysis: The proposed review will synthesise studies reporting clinical and non-clinical recruiters' perspectives and experiences of recruiting to RCTs. The following databases will be searched: Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycInfo, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ORRCA and Web of Science. A thematic synthesis approach to analysing the data will be used. An assessment of methodological limitations of each study will be performed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool. Assessing the confidence in the review findings will be evaluated using the GRADE Confidence in Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research (GRADE-CERQual) tool.
Ethics And Dissemination: The proposed QES will not require ethical approval as it includes only published literature. The results of the synthesis will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and publicised using social media. The results will be considered alongside other work addressing factors affecting recruitment in order to inform future development and refinement of recruitment interventions.

Measuring the Science of Caring: A Patient-Centred Predictive Model for the Caring Interaction.
Scand J Caring Sci
September 2025
Department of Nursing, University of Seville, Seville, Spain.
Background: The nurse-patient relationship is central to quality nursing care, yet its impact remains difficult to quantify. While existing models assess caring competencies from the perspective of nursing students and professionals, there is a lack of validated instruments incorporating direct patient feedback.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate the Nursing Interaction in Caring_Competence Assessment-Patient (NIC_CA-Patient) tool, a patient-centred instrument designed to measure caring interaction in nursing practice and establish a predictive model of its development from the patient's perspective.
An integrated multi-criteria decision-making approach for evaluating healthcare service quality: a provider-centric assessment.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to present, from the service providers' perspective, a multi-level integrative approach toward prioritization of the factors that are important for healthcare service quality (HSQ). This is necessary to assign and apportion resources and attention to specific areas of concern and help in their improvement, leading to satisfying the overall objective of improving healthcare delivery in the Indian context.
Design/methodology/approach: We employed an integrated decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), interpretive structural modelling (ISM), and Matrice d'Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée á un Classement (MICMAC) approach to identify the key factors influencing HSQ.
Sexualized Deepfake Abuse: Perpetrator and Victim Perspectives on the Motivations and Forms of Non-Consensually Created and Shared Sexualized Deepfake Imagery.

Advances in digital technologies provide new opportunities for harm, including sexualized deepfake abuse-the non-consensual creation, distribution, or threat to create/distribute an image or video of another person that had been altered in a nude or sexual way. Since 2017, there has been a proliferation of shared open-source technologies to facilitate deepfake creation and dissemination, and a corresponding increase in cases of sexualized deepfake abuse. There is a substantive risk that the increased accessibility of easy-to-use tools, the normalization of non-consensually sexualizing others, and the minimization of harms experienced by those who have their images created and/or shared may impact prevention and response efforts.

Newborn screening (NBS) for Fabry disease (FD) is an effective way to identify individuals with FD before the onset of symptoms, enabling early therapeutic treatment. The classic form of FD typically begins in early childhood or later, but the late-onset form often develops in adulthood. However, FD-NBS identifies positive cases regardless of the expected timing of symptom onset.
