Commentary on: Zhao et al. The impact of education/training on nurses caring for patients with stroke: a scoping review. BMC Nurs 23:90
Implications for practice and research Nurses working in clinical stroke care could benefit from leadership and management strategies that encourage empowerment and time and space to reflect on current evidence, training and practice. Comprehensive evaluation strategies are needed to assess the impact and effectiveness of empowerment-based stroke education and training on patient outcomes.
Stroke nursing is widely recognised for its significant role across the whole multidisciplinary stroke care pathway.

The risk of gender-based violence (GBV) against migrant women is largely exacerbated by precarious employment opportunities available to them as they go through the resettlement process. Despite the risk that the connection of precarious employment and GBV pose to migrant women’s health and wellbeing, critical gaps exist in literature. Our scoping review sought to identify and synthesize evidence on the interconnectedness of GBV and precarious employment among migrant women. Six electronic databases were searched for empirical literature and two reviewers independently conducted title/abstract and full text screening of studies that met the inclusion criteria. Data synthesis was guided by the intersectionality theory and the Feminist Political Economy framework. 50 articles met the criteria for inclusion in this review. Our findings reveal that precarious employment plays both a catalytic and consequential role in GBV. Findings highlighted how post-migration shifts in gender roles, schedule unpredictability leading to work-life imbalance, and debt bondage trap migrant women in cycles of exploitation and abuse. Few studies highlighted how human trafficking is intertwined with precarious labor markets, where the exploitation and abuse of migrant women mirror the characteristics of human trafficking. This review underscores the urgent need for integrated policy responses that are not only focused on individual supports but also address the structural drivers or labor precarity and protect migrant women from GBV and human trafficking. By applying an intersectional lens, policies and intervention programs can tackle systemic oppression across economic, and social systems essential in reducing exploitation and abuse to advance migrant women’s wellbeing.Variations in mental health and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes of girls/women (cisgender and transgender) and gender-diverse (nonbinary, Two-Spirit, gender fluid, agender, queer, gender neutral) youth with intersectional identities exist and have largely been ignored in the literature. There is a lack of information on how these health services meet the health needs of girls/women and gender-diverse youth with intersectional identities and the quality of such services. The objective of this global realist review is to identify how, why, for whom, in what contexts and to what extent mental health and SRH services meet the health needs of girls/women (cisgender and transgender) and gender-diverse youth (10–25 years) with intersectional identities.
The protocol has been registered with PROSPERO and will follow Realist and Meta-narrative Evidence Syntheses Quality Standards for Realist Reviews. We will identify the programme theory and implementation determinants of mental health and SRH services for girls/women (cisgender and transgender) and gender-diverse (nonbinary, Two-Spirit, fluid, agender, queer, gender neutral) youth (10–25 years). The scope of the review will be defined in the first stage and will include consultations with youth Advisory Group members and initial programme theory development. An iterative search of scholarly bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL, Web of Science, IBSS) in addition to a grey literature search will take place in the second stage. The third stage will include evidence extraction and synthesis. In the final stage, the narrative will be developed and refined in consultation with Youth Advisory Group members, and findings will be disseminated.
The study was approved by the Research Ethics Board at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (2023/153). Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, youth-friendly materials and webinars and national and international conferences.
