This review explores the conceptual frameworks, methods, barriers and facilitators associated with the human-centred design (HCD) process employed when developing digital health dashboards (DHDs) for the care of older adults.

This scoping review is designed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines, ensuring a systematic approach to identifying and synthesising relevant literature.

Five databases were searched including EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsychInfo, CINAHL and Cochrane Library from January 2012 to 30 March 2026.

Studies were eligible if they involved the HCD of DHDs for health management in older adults aged 60 years and over. The design process could involve a range of stakeholders, including older adults, healthcare professionals, carers, technology experts and other relevant parties involved in dashboard design.

Search terms included older persons, ageing, decision support systems, dashboards, human-centred design etc. Study screening was done in Rayyan, and data extraction was conducted in MS Excel using the Joanna Briggs Institute data extraction tool. HCD approaches were mapped to the Double Diamond framework using thematic analysis.

A total of 15 studies were included which employed iterative HCD approaches, involving stakeholders at various stages of dashboard development. Several conceptual frameworks were identified including user-centred design and behaviour change frameworks as well as HCD methods identified including user interviews, focus groups, co-design workshops, usability testing and surveys. Key facilitators included ongoing user engagement, multidisciplinary collaboration and iterative prototyping. Barriers included limited digital literacy among older adults, challenges in recruiting diverse user groups and resource constraints impacting the breadth of HCD activities.

Dashboards developed using HCD approaches suggest improved usability, acceptability and relevance for older adults, supporting better self-management of health conditions. However, inconsistent frameworks, lack of research outside Europe, America and Australia and underuse of dashboard analytics were identified as challenges. Future research should adopt validated HCD frameworks, address acceptability factors and evaluate real-world use to develop more inclusive and sustainable digital health tools for older adults.

The study aimed to adapt the Grief Support in Healthcare Scale (GSHCS) for use in the Turkish context and evaluate its psychometric properties among nurses.

This study is a methodological study.

This study was conducted in Turkey.

The pilot study included 30 nurses for preliminary testing and test-retest reliability. The main study comprised a convenience sample of 355 nurses.

Content validity was evaluated by a panel of experts using the Content Validity Index (CVIs). Construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Internal consistency was examined using Cronbach’s α and split-half reliability, while convergent validity was tested via correlations with the Professional Bereavement Scale (PBS).

CVIs were strong (Item-Level Content Validity Index=0.99; Scale-Level Content Validity Index=0.94). EFA identified a three-factor structure explaining 58.33% of the total variance. CFA confirmed the three-factor model (²(83) = 338.204, ²/df=4.075, root mean square error of approximation=0.093, Goodness of Fit Index=0.892, Comparative Fit Index=0.922, Tucker-Lewis Index=0.901, Incremental Fit Index=0.923, Normed Fit Index=0.900). Cronbach’s α was 0.888 for the total scale. All subdimensions showed significant positive correlations with PBS-Short-term Bereavement Reactions Subscale (r=0.176–0.401).

The Turkish version of the GSHCS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing nurses’ perceptions of grief support in healthcare settings. The scale retains its conceptual structure and demonstrates sound psychometric properties, making it suitable for clinical research and organisational assessments in Turkey.

This study aimed to evaluate the behaviours of community pharmacists in Türkiye regarding the provision of travel health services (THS) and to identify the determinants of these behaviours using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB).

A cross-sectional descriptive study.

Online nationwide survey conducted in Türkiye.

The study included 145 Turkish community pharmacists with at least 5 years of professional experience who had provided THS to at least one patient in the previous year.

A theory-based measurement tool was developed and validated according to the TPB framework. Data were collected via self-administered online questionnaires between May 2024 and July 2024. Structural equation modelling was employed to analyse the factors influencing pharmacists’ behaviours and intentions towards THS.

The structural equation model demonstrated an acceptable fit with the empirical data. Pharmacists’ intentions to provide THS were significantly influenced by subjective norms (β=0.19, p

The findings confirm that providing THS is a suitable and essential role for community pharmacists in Türkiye. Since PBC is the primary driver of intention, policy interventions should focus on empowering pharmacists through specialised training and expanding their professional autonomy to better integrate travel health into community pharmacy practice.
