BACKGROUND: Despite an increase in access to medications for opioid use disorder, less than 20% of individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) receive treatment. Stigmatizing language has been identified as a potential trigger for explicit and implicit biases that may adversely affect treatment enrollment and quality of care for persons with OUD. AIMS: To conduct a narrative review of the literature on stigmatizing language and OUD, examine how treatment outcomes are affected, and present strategies to reduce bias and promote OUD treatment. METHOD: A narrative review of the literature between 2010 and 2019 was conducted using CINAHL, PubMed, and PsycINFO. Key search terms were opioid use disorder (or substance use disorder), stigma, and language. Fifty-two articles were screened for inclusion, and 17 articles were included in this review. RESULTS: The articles reviewed provide consensus that stigmatizing language toward persons with OUD fosters explicit and implicit bias and impedes engagement in treatment. Four themes emerged: (1) stigma and language, (2) stigma and language used by health care professionals, (3) stigma and language used by the general public, and (4) stigma and language used by people with OUD. CONCLUSIONS: Stigmatizing language is dehumanizing and plays a pivotal role in bias and discrimination that may contribute to unsatisfactory treatment outcomes among persons with OUD. Health care professionals, nursing in particular, must assume an intentional stance against stigma perpetuated toward persons with OUD through advocacy in education, practice, policy, and the media.

OBJECTIVE: To describe and summarize the current body of evidence on the subject of birth plans to develop a research agenda.METHOD: A narrative review was undertaken to offer a comprehensive overview of themes emerging from previous research in this area.FINDINGS: Thirty-five papers from 33 studies were retrieved and grouped into three main themes: the impact of birth plans on obstetric outcomes, women’s experiences and opinions of completing and using birth plans, and health care professionals’ beliefs about and experiences of the use of birth plans. Key findings relate to beliefs about the benefits and challenges of birth plans, as described by women and health care professionals and the impact of birth plans on a range of obstetric outcomes.CONCLUSION: This review brings together a range of studies around birth plans and synthesizes key themes. Little homogeneity was seen in the studies identified, and a wide variety of care contexts and childbirth philosophies were represented. Findings suggest the need for further research into whether there are ideal circumstances and environments for the completion of birth plans antenatally and whether disparities between expectations described in women’s plans and experiences in labor and birth can be reduced.

Abstract We carried out a narrative review and thematic analysis of literature on the physical health care, mental health care and social care of trans older adults to ascertain what is known about older trans adults’ contacts with and use of health and social care. Thirty papers were found: a majority originated in the United States of America. Five themes were identified: experience of discrimination/prejudice and disrespect; health inequalities; socio-economic inequalities; positive practice; and staff training and education. The first three themes present challenges for providers and service users. Experiences of discrimination/prejudice and disrespect over the course of their lives powerfully influence how older trans adults engage with care services and practitioners. Health and socio-economic inequalities suggest that older trans adults are likely to have greater need of services and care. The remaining two themes offer opportunities for service improvement. We conclude that more research is needed, that there is a strong argument for taking a lifecourse perspective in a spirit of cultural humility, and that contextual societal factors influence service users and providers. We identify positive trans-inclusive practices which we commend to services. More needs to be done now to make older adult services appropriate and welcoming for trans service users.
