It has become a substantial burden on public health, health care systems, workforce productivity, and society (Tulachan, et al., 2020). According to the authors, Cheruvu, V.K., Chiyaka, E.T.

It is estimated to be affecting around 3.1 billion people worldwide, nearly 35% of the global population, contributing to 7% of deaths worldwide, and responsible for various socioeconomic problems (Cheruvu, V.K., Chiyaka, E.T., 2019).

The three research articles, two quantitative, one qualitative and one quantitative, were chosen by searching CINAHL and PROQUEST databases……
