To provide guidance on food equity-oriented nurse engagement in education, research, and practice and to develop a glossary of food equity terms to serve as a resource to nurse educators and to fuel nurse engagement in food equity work.
A discussion paper outlining guidance for nurse engagement in food equity efforts.
We provide guidance for nurse engagement in three areas: Education, Research and Community Care. Additionally, through literature review, we created a glossary of food-related terms that can be used in nurse advocacy for food equity. Although not an exhaustive list, we compiled and provided definitions of equity-oriented food-related concepts across three categories: food environment, consumer/community-based and social safety net/anti-hunger terms.
Nurses can be instrumental in advancing food equity, thereby helping to prevent chronic diseases related to poor nutrition, yet nutrition and food equity content are not typically integrated into nursing education.

Diabetes mellitus is a significant global health challenge, requiring innovative strategies to improve management and mitigate complications. Digital health technologies offer promising solutions to enhance diabetes self-care by providing real-time feedback, improving communication and supporting data-driven decision-making. Despite the increasing adoption of digital self-care interventions, there is a lack of comprehensive synthesis of evidence on their impact, accessibility and integration into healthcare systems. This scoping review aims to map existing research on digital self-care solutions for diabetes management, identify knowledge gaps and highlight best practices and key factors influencing adoption.
The review will follow Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and adhere to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. A systematic search will be conducted in Medline, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL and Google Scholar, focusing on studies published from January 2004 to December 2024 in English, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Czech, Slovak and Chinese. Studies reporting on digital self-care solutions for diabetes management will be included, covering experimental and quasi-experimental study designs. Data extraction will cover study and participant characteristics, digital solution features, and barriers and facilitators to adoption. Ethical and equity considerations will also be analysed using established frameworks. Two reviewers will independently screen studies, with discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer.
This scoping review will provide a comprehensive understanding of digital self-care solutions for diabetes management, offering insights to inform future research and enhance self-care practices globally. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, conferences and interest holder engagements to inform clinical practice and policy development. As this study involves the review of existing literature, ethical approval is not required.
