The search period was from database establishment to March 31, 2023.Results:A total of 13 articles were included, including five guidelines, five evidence summaries, two expert consensus, and one clinical decision-making. A total of 33 recommendations for NBD management in spinal cord injury patients were summarized from five aspects of medical history assessment, medication management, physical therapy, diet and exercise, and health education.Conclusions:The best evidence for NBD management in spinal cord injury patients summarized is scientific and practical.

The search period was from establishment of the databases to July 31, 2023. The quality of the included literature was evaluated using the qualitative research appraisal tool of Australia Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-based Health Care Center, and the results were analyzed using the Meta-integration method.Results:A total of eight articles were included, and 35 research results were extracted, which were summarized into 10 new categories and integrated into four results, namely, the dilemma of multiple challenges, complex emotional experience, multi-dimensional care needs and positive coping strategies.Conclusions:The caregivers of children with liver transplantation are faced with great pressure and difficulties in the process of care, and they are eager for multifaceted support. Medical staff should pay attention to the inner experience and needs of caregivers and construct supportive intervention programs to reduce their physical and mental burden and improve the quality of care for children with liver transplantation.
