Nodes

Coral MacRury and Alison Glover from Edinburgh, Billy Lauder from Dundee, Steve McGillvary (University of Abertay), Pete Wimpenny (Robert Gordon University), Charlotte Young (Arkansas State University) lead this node and Coral MacRury and Billy Lauder as the Node Co-Convenors.

This Node is responsible for identifying priority review topics/questions related to nursing care that are  not currently covered by Cochrane reviews. The Node will actively promote  Cochrane reviews across nursing care groups internationally and, through the  CNCN website, seek suggestions for priority reviews, categorised by Cochrane  Review Groups. The Node will encourage the development of Review Questions and direct potential authors to the Nursing Care Review Support/CRG Liaison Node for advice, support and assistance in submitting Review Questions to the relevant CRG.

Tracey Howe from Glasgow, Donal O’Mathuna from the Republic of Ireland, Joyce Kenkre from Wales and Daksha Trivedi (University of Hertfordshire) lead this node with Tracey Howe and Donal O’Mathuna as the Node Co-Convenors.

This Node is responsible for establishing and maintaining a Review Support Unit to mentor and assist new Cochrane review authors prior to and following their submission of a title to  a CRG. Donal and Tracey are already heavily involved in supporting novice review authors. They, with other members of the Node will provide support via the CNCN website; identify and if necessary, develop support materials;  identify and maintain a register of mentors, and develop further strategies  (such as the successful Cochrane Fellowship scheme available on the island of Ireland funded by the health research agencies of Northern Ireland and the  Republic of Ireland). The Node will also assist potential review authors to identify and collaborate with co-authors, including experienced Cochrane authors from the relevant CRG; and review authors with complementary expertise  (such as epidemiology, statistics and other professional backgrounds cognate  to the review topic).

Lisa Hopp, Susan Salmond from the USA and Yann-Fen C Chao from Taiwan lead this node with Lisa Hopp and Susan Salmond as the Node Co-Convenors.

This Node is responsible for coordinating the activities of  Network Groups engaged in searching nursing-related journals and conference  proceedings not currently extracted in the electronic bibliographic databases  especially those published in languages other than English; and developing extracts and bibliographical data for upload to CENTRAL.. The CNCN  coordinating site in Adelaide will work with, and assist, this node by  developing a register compatible with other Cochrane registers and managing  this database. The Node will initially coordinate Cochrane Nursing Care Network Groups in Spain, China, Korea, Thailand, Myanmar and Saudi Arabia to establish an ongoing program of handsearching journals published in languages other than English and not currently abstracted in electronic databases. These Network Groups will translate full abstracts of trials into English and enter  these on the web-based database. The Adelaide group will oversee the transfer of records to the Cochrane Trials Register.

Margaret Harrison, Jennifer Medves, Marianne Lamb, Christina Godfrey and Cynthia Baker (Canada); Cheryl Holly (USA); Ritin Fernandez (AUST); and Bridie Kent (N.Z) lead this Node with Margaret Harrison and Marianne Lamb as the Node Co-Convenors.

This Node is responsible for identifying evidence relating to nursing care embedded in reviews from all relevant CRGs. This may involve identifying Cochrane reviews incorporating  nursing care phenomena (e.g. education for self-management across multiple  conditions – chronic heart failure, asthma, wounds); categorising the  phenomena for which there maybe relevant reviews; developing/contributing to  an indexing system to incorporate these into the Cochrane search engine; and  developing cross-cutting/umbrella reviews.

This Node is responsible for identifying priority review topics/questions related to nursing care that are not currently covered by Cochrane reviews and are priority subjects for Spanish, Portuguese and French speaking countries, or identifying those Cochrane reviews who need to be updated with Spanish, Portuguese and French papers. The Node will actively promote Cochrane reviews across nursing care groups internationally and, through the CNCN website, seek suggestions for priority reviews, categorised by Cochrane Review Groups. The Node will encourage the development of Review Questions and direct potential authors to the Celtic Node for advice, support and assistance in submitting Review Questions to the relevant CRG.
