    Abstract The textual tradition of the Bible has inspired many of the most significantdevelopments, principles and methodologies in editorial practice, from theparallel texts and critical symbols of Origen's Hexapla in the early third centuryto Lachmann's nineteeth-century stemmatics. It is therefore unsurprising that,in this digital age, the New Testament continues to be at the forefront of newand exciting initiatives. The present chapter describes the workflow and toolsdeveloped for the Editio Critica Maior of the Greek New Testament, in particularthose associated with the Workspace for Collaborative Editing, and howthese have shaped the task of editing both the text and documents of the NewTestament and offer new models of publication thanks to the capacity of electronicmedia and the Internet

    Abstract This paper forms part of a series of methodological guidance from the Cochrane Rapid Reviews Methods Group and addresses rapid qualitative evidence syntheses (QESs), which use modified systematic, transparent and reproducible methodsu to accelerate the synthesis of qualitative evidence when faced with resource constraints. This guidance covers the review process as it relates to synthesis of qualitative research. 'Rapid' or 'resource-constrained' QES require use of templates and targeted knowledge user involvement. Clear definition of perspectives and decisions on indirect evidence, sampling and use of existing QES help in targeting eligibility criteria. Involvement of an information specialist, especially in prioritising databases, targeting grey literature and planning supplemental searches, can prove invaluable. Use of templates and frameworks in study selection and data extraction can be accompanied by quality assurance procedures targeting areas of likely weakness. Current Cochrane guidance informs selection of tools for quality assessment and of synthesis method. Thematic and framework synthesis facilitate efficient synthesis of large numbers of studies or plentiful data. Finally, judicious use of Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach for assessing the Confidence of Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research assessments and of software as appropriate help to achieve a timely and useful review product.

    Abstract Background : Dementia is a priority public health issue globally. Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) lead to low quality of life (QoL) for people living with dementia and can also cause distress amongst their caregivers. To date, the effectiveness of pharmacological treatments for dementia have had limited. Animal assisted intervention (AAI) has become a popular non-pharmacological therapy and psychosocial intervention, and can have positive effects on mood, social behavior, physical activity and QoL of people living with dementia. The factors influencing the delivery of AAI remain underexplored. The aim of this review is to synthesize qualitative research regarding stakeholders’ perceptions and experiences of AAI for people living with dementia in community settings. Methods : We will systematically search nine databases/platforms. Two reviewers will independently screen the titles, abstracts and full texts; the process will be reported following PRISMA guidance. Data from included studies will be extracted according to a specifically designed form. Three reviewers will independently appraise the methodological quality of studies using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program qualitative checklist. We will analyze data following thematic synthesis. GRADE-CERQual will be applied to assess confidence in the findings. The research team will engage in reflexivity throughout all review stages of process through regular meetings/discussions. A Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) contributor will be included to oversee and provide advice on the QES process. Discussion: AAI is a potentially valuable for improving mood and reducing BPSD for people living with dementia. However, the perceptions and experiences of stakeholders and factors influencing the implementation of AAI for people living with dementia are not clear. This qualitative evidence synthesis will significantly contribute to the evidence base. It will identify factors and recommendations for AAI guidance, and have clinical and social ...

    Abstract Introduction: There has been a global increase in demand for gender-specific healthcare services and a recognition that healthcare access is complex and convoluted, even in countries with well-developed healthcare services. Despite evidence in Ireland supporting the improvement in physical and mental health following access to gender care, little is known about the local healthcare navigation challenges. Internationally, research focuses primarily on the experience of service users and omits the perspective of other potential key stakeholders. Youth experiences are a particularly seldom-heard group.
    Methods and analysis: This study will use a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design with a participatory social justice approach. The qualitative phase will explore factors that help and hinder access to gender care for young people in Ireland. This will be explored from multiple stakeholders' perspectives, namely, young people, caregivers and specialist healthcare providers. Framework analysis will be used to identify priorities for action and the qualitative findings used to build a survey tool for the quantitative phase. The quantitative phase will then measure the burden of the identified factors on healthcare navigation across different age categories and gender identities (transmasculine vs transfeminine vs non-binary).
    Ethics and dissemination: This study has been approved by St Vincent's Hospital Research Ethics Committee (RS21-019), University College Dublin Ethics Committee (LS-21-14Kearns-OShea) and the Transgender Equality Network Ireland's Internal Ethics Committee (TIECSK). We aim to disseminate the findings through international conferences, peer-review journals and by utilisation of expert panel members and strategic partners.

    Abstract Objective: Mental health issues in the perinatal period are common, and can have negative consequences for maternal and child health. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) who provide women with perinatal care are well-placed to detect mental health issues and provide support. This study therefore examines HCPs' experiences and perceptions of providing mental health support during the perinatal period, including during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Design: An exploratory realist qualitative study was conducted.
    Setting: Republic of Ireland PARTICIPANTS: A purposive sampling strategy was employed to recruit HCPs (e.g., general practitioners, midwives, public health nurses, practice nurses, doulas, and breastfeeding counsellors), via professional bodies in Ireland. An invitation to participate was also circulated via Twitter. A total of 18 HCPs participated in semi-structured interviews conducted between 18/8/2020 and 24/5/2021.
    Measurements and findings: Semi-structured interviews were conducted according to a topic guide designed by a multidisciplinary team. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Four themes were developed: 'Supporting women in healthcare settings,' 'Skills and capacity to provide adequate care,' 'Structural barriers to care provision,' and 'The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stress support.'
    Key conclusions: HCPs reported providing emotional support and advocacy, but highlighted challenges, including limited capacity to address women's concerns, clinical culture and hierarchy, insufficient organisational investment, and social inequities in support access. Some HCPs felt these barriers could lead to additional psychological harm. HCPs also reported that the pandemic had introduced novel stressors and changed the nature of the mental health support they provided.
    Implications for practice: Interventions incorporating education and physical resources for HCPs, increased investment in specialist perinatal mental health services, increased investment in holistic supports, and changes to address cultural challenges in care environments, may facilitate - or enhance - support for women.

    Abstract Background: The perinatal period, from pregnancy to the first year postpartum, is a transitional period that can result in anxiety and stress for some women. Perinatal anxiety and stress can adversely impact the physical and psychological health of women and children. Understanding women's lived experiences of perinatal anxiety and stress is essential to better support women. The aim of this qualitative evidence synthesis was to examine women's experiences and perceptions of, and barriers and facilitators to coping with, perinatal anxiety and stress.
    Methods: Databases CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Maternity and Infant Care were searched from inception to June 2020. Eligible studies included women who were pregnant or up to one year postpartum and examined women's experiences of anxiety and/or stress during the perinatal period. Data were synthesised using thematic synthesis.
    Results: Of 20,318 identified articles, 13 studies met inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Five key themes emerged: Social support, women's experiences of healthcare, social norms and expectations, factors that impact on coping and mother and baby's health.
    Conclusion: This review provided a comprehensive synthesis of perinatal anxiety and stress. Findings indicate that increased support for perinatal mental health in antenatal and postpartum care is needed. Addressing unrealistic expectations and conceptualisations of motherhood is also important to better support women. Enhancing women's social support networks and provision of clear and consistent information are also essential to support women and minimise stress and anxiety in the perinatal period.

    Abstract Purpose Parent-child interaction therapy refers to a number of interventions mediated by trained parents to treat developmental difficulties, including speech, language, and communication. Understanding the experiences of parents who take part in parent-child interaction therapy is a key aspect of determining how this intervention can be implemented successfully. However, to date, there has been limited work on synthesizing parental views of this intervention. Method We used qualitative evidence synthesis that involved searching the literature for qualitative studies addressing the experiences and perceptions of parent-child interaction therapy for parents of preschool children with communication difficulties. We identified 27 studies (from 32 publications) and synthesized the data using thematic synthesis. We appraised the quality of included studies using Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) and assessed our confidence in the review findings using GRADE Confidence in the Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research (CERQual). Results At the beginning of this intervention, parents may have competing demands and varied expectations about the intervention. Their engagement is facilitated when the intervention is tailored to their individual family, their preferences for learning, and when they have a trusting relationship with the clinician. At the end of the intervention, although most parents perceive an improvement in their child's communication and feel empowered to facilitate this, they have concerns about their child's future needs. Conclusions It is important that clinicians explore parents' readiness for this intervention by discussing their needs and preferences openly, and that they facilitate their engagement through a supportive relationship. They also need to consider how parents will transition out of the intervention and continue to support their child's language development.

    Abstract Background: Increasing numbers of people with dementia are presenting to acute care facilities for management of medical conditions and co-morbidities. They require an individual approach to care due to the confusion and disorientation which may accompany their illness. Current evidence syntheses on this topic explore how staff, family and carers view their care. This review aims to complement previous work in the area by exploring care from the perspective of the patient living with dementia.
    Objectives: The aim of this qualitative evidence synthesis was to explore the experiences and perceptions of patients living with dementia on the care they receive in acute settings.
    Design: Qualitative evidence synthesis systematically draws the findings from individual studies together to create valid, reliable and meaningful evidence for healthcare policy development. Framework synthesis was utilised and guided by the VIPS framework; Values, Individualised, Perspective, and Social and psychological. The VIPS framework has previously been used for exploring staffs' views of care in the acute setting and provides guidance to caring for people with dementia.
    Review methods: Following screening, data were extracted and appraised using Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. Framework synthesis, incorporating thematic synthesis, was conducted and the confidence in findings was assessed using GRADE CERQual.
    Data sources: Seven qualitative studies that explored care in acute hospitals as experienced or perceived by the person living with dementia.
    Results: The VIPS framework helped to capture views of care. Patients often experienced rushed and task- based approaches, poor communication, and exclusion in some cases. The environments were clearly unsuitable, sometimes exacerbating behaviours of concern, thus leading to unnecessary restraint due to an inability to protect this group.
    Conclusions: Further research needs to be conducted in testing existing or developing new interventions to improve the physical environment, the systems of care and to provide more person-centred approaches to care. Organisational structures must ensure patients are cared for in a dementia friendly environment by a dementia trained workforce. At local level, involving support workers, eliminating unnecessary care practices, and facilitating individual choices of patients are recommended.
