Objectives To synthesise the evidence on the experiences of HRQoL, psychological well-being, and supportive care needs among informal caregivers of patients with cancer in the ICU and the experiences of the MDT to deliver supportive care. Methods This mixed methods systematic review was conducted and reported in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Online databases and registers were searched using a predetermined inclusion criteria. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) assessed the methodological quality. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for mixed method systematic reviews was used to synthesise the qualitative and quantitative data. Results A total of 2211 studies were screened against the inclusion criteria. Fifty-six full-text articles were reviewed, and nine studies were included. The HRQoL of informal caregivers of patients with cancer was impacted by an inability to perform their own self-care tasks and anxiety/depression. However, little is known about how MDTs across ICU and oncology services deliver co-ordinated care. Conclusion Several domains of HRQoL and supportive care are impacted in informal caregivers of patients with cancer admitted to the ICU that may differ from the general ICU population. Implications for clinical practice This review highlights the impacted domains of HRQoL in informal caregivers of patients with cancer in the ICU, as well as their unique supportive care needs, which require further research and attention from nurses and the broader MDT.
This study explores brand transcendence through brand value co-creation within social media craft beverage brand communities across Instagram and Twitter (now X). Lexical analysis explored a total of 192,330 posts and found brand transcendence evident in the interplay between user-generated content (UGC) and brand-generated content (BGC) across social media platforms, which co-created brand value through the processes of sharing virtual cues within social media craft beverage communities. This brand transcendence was enhanced through the sharing of personal experiences and unique brand moments. BGC across both platforms showcased themes of brand affinity, the importance of time in brand experiences, gratitude, and calls to action. UGC illustrated a focus on brand-specific language, the importance of locality and brand distinctiveness. Evidence was found of hype building, fear-of-missing-out (FOMO), competitions, consumer experiences, and calls to enjoy consuming brands, extoling 'love' of brands and brand distinctiveness. This study is the first to explore how social media community content can amass brand value co-creation and its transcendence within social media brand communities and across social media platforms. Clear implications for the tourism and hospitality sectors are identified.
Procedural fairness has long been recognized as critical to citizen acceptance of urban renewal initiatives. However, research examining the underlying mechanisms of this relationship remains limited, hindering effective policy implementation. This study addresses this gap by investigating how relationship quality dimensions-specifically citizen satisfaction, citizen recognition, and citizen trust-mediate the link between procedural fairness and citizen acceptance. Drawing on survey data from 409 respondents across three communities in China that experienced urban renewal projects and employing structural equation modeling (SEM) and artificial neural network (ANN) analysis, our findings demonstrate that procedural fairness positively influences citizen acceptance, with citizen satisfaction and citizen recognition serving as partial mediators in this relationship, while citizen trust shows no significant mediating effect. These findings advance the literature by elucidating the distinct procedural fairness pathways through which citizens develop acceptance toward urban renewal policies, while also revealing the nuanced roles that different relational dimensions play in this process.
The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector has entered a data-driven era, necessitating an integration of building information modelling (BIM) with big data (Big BIM data). However, current data-management practices within the industry are underdeveloped, constraining AEC's capacity to meet Industry 4.0. We address this challenge by developing a Strategic Alignment Framework to optimally integrate big BIM data into organisational strategies. A Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling is employed to examine it. Emergent results reveal the pivotal role and pathways of aligning business strategy with BIM-data processes to enhance operational efficiency and competitiveness. Discussion on facilitating future practice and epistemological development is also presented. The contribution of this study is threefold viz: (1) expanding strategic alignment paradigms; (2) providing empirical insights into how big BIM data drives business process automation and cognitive insights/engagement; and (3) setting forth an agender for research on advancing business-IT alignment to better leverage BIM.
Context Changes in temperature regimes can alter stream macroinvertebrate community structure. We hypothesised that benthic community structure in alpine streams responded to spatial-temporal changes in environmental factors and thermal regimes.Aims We aimed to evaluate the relationship between macroinvertebrate community structure and water-quality parameters including temperature, and the influence of sampling sites positioned above or below the tree line.Methods Continuously measured water temperatures, in situ measurements of other variables and macroinvertebrates were sampled seasonally across an elevation gradient in an Australian alpine region.Key results Sites above the tree line had the greatest annual range in water temperature compared with sites below the tree line. PERMANOVA showed highly significant differences in the macroinvertebrate community structure among sites at different elevations. Redundancy analysis showed that degree-days and total nitrogen concentrations had a strong influence on macroinvertebrate distribution at sites below the tree line. We observed fewer families, number of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT) individuals and a lower EPT family richness at the two highest sites, than at sites below the tree line.Conclusions Although other variables may be influential, the larger annual temperature range at the two sites sampled above the tree line is stressful to stream macroinvertebrates and this should be considered in relation to risks from climate change.Implications Increase in water temperature due to climate change will likely affect the biology of organisms from foraging, reproduction, growth and development to finding suitable habitats.
