Re-examining systematic literature review in management research: Additional benefits and execution protocols

Objective: To better understand the inter-professional clinical communication between pharmacists, other health professionals and medication errors.
 Methods: This research study used a systematic literature review approach by searching online databases including Medline, PubMed and CINHAL to understand the relationship between pharmacist clinical communication and medication errors. The results of this study show that from 1158 studies that were screened and assessed, only 454 studies were initially selected after the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria. A PRISMA chart and descriptive analysis was used to present the result.
 Results: The results concluded that of the 18 studies, 17 showed a relationship between communication and medication errors, while only one study indicated no relationship. Thematic synthesis was used to classifythe result of the 17 studies. The result was classified into five general themes based on the literature review and similarity among the studies.
 Conclusions: This systematic literature review investigated the interrelationship between communication and medication errors. In regards to patient safety, the research highlights that structured communication iseffective in preventing medication errors. These errors can occur within the medication management cycle at any point of the drug distribution chain. This is due to the involvement of different health professionals, anddifferent steps in the cycle from the correct prescription through to correct administration. Thus, to effectively prevent medication errors and reduce the rate of patient harm, structured communication (verbally andnon-verbally) is highly recommended.

Background:Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects more than 80,000 people worldwide, having a considerable impact on the quality of life of patients and their caregivers, who assist patients with time-consuming treatment regimens. Despite this, a review of the available evidence has not been previously undertaken. This systematic literature review aimed to identify the humanistic and economic burdens of CF on caregivers.Methods:A systematic literature review was conducted, in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Publications reporting outcomes for the caregivers of people with CF, including utility data, health status, and occupational impact, were reviewed. Sources searched were Embase (OvidSP), Medline (PubMed), the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the Epistemonikos database, from 2010 to March 2020. A subsequent search with updated terms identified articles up to April 2020. Electronic searches were supplemented by hand searches to capture all relevant literature.Results:A total of 889 articles reporting humanistic burden and 310 reporting economic burden were identified. Following full-text screening by two independent reviewers, 72 articles were included in the review, of which 65 and 17 reported data on humanistic and economic burdens, respectively, with 10 reporting on both. The reviewed literature covered several outcomes and identified multiple key findings: greater disease severity is associated with the reporting of greater caregiver burden and lower utility scores of quality of life; reduced patient lung function is associated with increased caregiver depression and anxiety; and caregiving causes significant occupational impact, with pulmonary exacerbations decreasing caregiver productivity by up to a third compared with the patient being in a ‘well’ state.Conclusion:Findings from this systematic literature review highlight the substantial humanistic and economic burdens borne by the caregivers of people with CF. Future research would help to further inform on the link between disease severity and caregiver burden.

This article provides a step-by-step approach to conducting and reporting systematic literature reviews (SLRs) in the domain of healthcare design and discusses some of the key quality issues associated with SLRs. SLR, as the name implies, is a systematic way of collecting, critically evaluating, integrating, and presenting findings from across multiple research studies on a research question or topic of interest. SLR provides a way to assess the quality level and magnitude of existing evidence on a question or topic of interest. It offers a broader and more accurate level of understanding than a traditional literature review. A systematic review adheres to standardized methodologies/guidelines in systematic searching, filtering, reviewing, critiquing, interpreting, synthesizing, and reporting of findings from multiple publications on a topic/domain of interest. The Cochrane Collaboration is the most well-known and widely respected global organization producing SLRs within the healthcare field and a standard to follow for any researcher seeking to write a transparent and methodologically sound SLR. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), like the Cochrane Collaboration, was created by an international network of health-based collaborators and provides the framework for SLR to ensure methodological rigor and quality. The PRISMA statement is an evidence-based guide consisting of a checklist and flowchart intended to be used as tools for authors seeking to write SLR and meta-analyses.

Headaches are a prevalent disorder worldwide, and there is compelling evidence that certain dietary interventions could provide relief from attacks. One promising approach is ketogenic therapy, which replaces the brain's glucose fuel source with ketone bodies, potentially reducing the frequency or severity of headaches. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of the scientific literature on the impact of ketosis on migraine, using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. After a careful selection process and bias evaluation, 10 articles were included in the review, primarily from Italy. The bias assessment indicated that 50% of the selected articles had a low risk of bias in all domains, with the randomization process being the most problematic domain. Unfortunately, the evaluation of ketosis was inconsistent between articles, with some assessing ketonuria, some assessing ketonemia, and some not assessing ketosis levels at all. Therefore, no association could be made between the level of ketosis and the prevention or reduction of migraine attacks. The ketogenic therapies tested in migraine treatments included the very low-calorie ketogenic diet (VLCKD, n = 4), modified Atkins diet (MAD, n = 3), classic ketogenic diet (cKDT, n = 2), and the administration of an exogenous source of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). The meta-analysis, despite reporting high heterogeneity, found that all interventions had an overall significant effect (Z = 9.07, p < 0.00001; subgroup differences, Chi2 = 9.19, dif = 3, p = 0.03; I2, 67.4%), regardless of the type of endogenous or exogenous induction of ketosis. The initial findings of this study suggest that metabolic ketogenic therapy may provide some benefit in treating migraines and encourage further studies, especially randomized clinical trials with appropriate and standardized methodologies. The review strongly recommends the use of the adequate measurement of ketone levels during ketogenic therapy to monitor adherence to the treatment and improve knowledge of the relationship between ketone bodies and efficacy. https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier: CRD42022330626.

Distributed Software Development (DSD) emerged from the need to achieve geographically distant customers and currently, allows organizations have global customers and other benefits. This scenario has given rise to new Software Engineering challenges resulting from DSD particularities. Several Systematic Reviews were conducted to address these new challenges. The objective of this paper is to categorize systematic reviews conducted in DSD context. We used the systematic review method to identify SLRs (Systematic Literature Reviews) that address DSD aspects. This study is categorized as a tertiary review. Of fourteen SLRs, seven address aspects of managing distributed development. Four SLRs addressed topics of engineering process. The three remaining are related to Requirements, Design and Software Engineering Education in DSD. The topic areas covered by SLRs are limited, where the majority are focused on summarize the current knowledge concerning a research question. Despite the number of SLRs, the amount of empirical studies is relatively small.

&lt;p class="0abstract"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;With every year’s start being a new beginning and a source of happiness, reigniting hopes and optimism around the world, the happiness and enjoyment of the year 2020 faded away quite earlier. It was not long into the year 2020 that the notorious COVID-19 hit the world. Millions of people died of it and billions of people got affected by it either directly or indirectly. With its impact on everybody, it drastically affected the business world as well; individuals lost their jobs and companies lost their businesses. However, companies learned to respond to the pandemic by converting their businesses to the online business model and the customers also shifted to online shopping. With this compelling shift, the customers still had the phobia of online shopping and tried to abstain from it as much as possible. To respond to this, a systematic review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was developed to offer a systematic and holistic literature review of the research regarding customer confidence in online shopping particularly by the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology. The database of this review includes a set of 54 systemically selected state-of-the-art articles from Scopus database covering empirical and theory research conducted in different countries with different resource endowments. The results show that the use of AR technology can help customers in overcoming their shopping phobia and thus, it can be a source of enhanced online business for companies. Some possible opportunities for future research are also illustrated in this paper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

As the significant success of business enterprises, information system development becomes IT managers' concern to keep the balance between business and information system. The information system has an important role to deliver advantages to the business enterprises. To keep maintain these issues, information system should be developed to innovate the business process. However, in developing an information system, the information system process improvement may obtain the possibility of information system development failures. Therefore, to avoid the failures in implementing information systems there are some important factors. Those factors are called critical success factors (CSF). Therefore, this study observes the critical success factors (CSF) in information system development (ISD) projects. This systematic literature review discusses critical success factors in information system development. The method section determines the research question. It also describes how to collect and filter the data. The order of this research written is according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses Checklist or also known as PRISMA Checklist. Therefore, to collect and filter the data, this systematic literature review uses Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses method or also known as PRISMA method. There were 20 papers selected to help this research based on the filtering papers due to PRISMA flow diagram. Most of those papers are discussing information system development and the rest are about factors of information system development. The result section has two parts, which are study characteristics and study results. This systematic literature review concluded that there are five critical success factors in developing information system projects. Those critical success factors are people, project, organization, knowledge, and expertise. Those critical success factors are also supported by several items of each factor. Therefore, the output of this research is expected to satisfy the information system development projects to meet the organizations' need and reduce also possibly avoid the failures in information system development projects.

Strategic use of social media within business-to-business (B2B) marketing: A systematic literature review

Teaching students to conduct a rigorous systematic literature review (SLR) may be challenging, given the growing output of scientific literature and the increasing plethora of supporting software and artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT. A SLR supported by design science artefacts and emerging artificial intelligence tools have the potential to overcome the challenges posed by increasing scientific literature. However, guidelines and steps required to conduct a SLR still need to be clarified in the existing literature. Furthermore, existing design science artefacts and software tools do not support teaching students to conduct rigorous systematic reviews. This paper presents guidelines on the required steps for a rigorous SLR and proposes a Researchbuddie artefact to support teaching SLR. Using a systematic review and design science findings, identify SLRs four main phases of planning, conducting, evaluating and reporting reviews, each supported by itemised sub-steps. Furthermore, a design science artefact Researchbuddie is proposed to support teaching SLR. Therefore, the paper contributes to guidelines for teaching SLR for Information Systems students with phases, sub-steps and a proposed Researchbuddie artefact.
