Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcers is a common complication of Diabetes Mellitus and was became world health global issue. The adjunctive therapy has become the latest modality in recent years, but there were not much significant research to support its utilization as a diabetic foot ulcer treatment standard. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of various adjunctive therapies for diabetic foot ulcers. Using electronic databases, such as Scopus, PubMed, Embase, Ovid Technologies, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched in June 2013 for systematic reviews published after 2004 and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in 2012–2013. Many therapeutic modalities are available to treat DFU. Quality high-level evidence exists for standard care such as off-loading. Evidence for adjunctive therapies such as negative pressure wound therapy, skin substitutes, and platelet-derived growth factor can help guide adjunctive care but limitations exist in terms of evidence quality. Given the diversity of therapies, future studies must define the populations that most benefit from each therapy by utilizing clear and strict inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Abstract

Resilience was a dynamic process that adapts positively to the difficulties it has. This term was often used by researchers in cancer patients. Controversy often occurs in its conception and little is known by patients in the use of the term resilience in their lives. The subject of this paper was cancer patients. The literature review was conducted by examining qualitative studies that discuss the use of terms in cancer patients and the use of themes used in terms of resilience. A systematic review of reviews through SCOPUS, MEDLINE, Psyc INFO and CINAHL reviewed from 2000 to 2017. Thematic analysis was used to encode themes in the studio and produce analytical themes, and resolution resolutions in the studio. After being invited to 573 citations, there were only 32 suitable studies. Four categories emerged, including coping strategies, social support, spirituality, and growth. The conclusion is no use of the term resilience in cancer patients, but cancer patients more often use other terms with the same meaning as resilience. Cancer patients rarely use the term direct resilience, but more often use terms such as coping strategies, social support, growth, and spiritual as terms related to resilience.
