Highlights Sociodemographic factors, including gender, age, and socioeconomic status, significantly influence eating habits, physical activity, and, therefore, the nutritional status of university students. Grip strength is directly related to physical activity levels, underscoring the importance of regular exercise; on the other hand, BMI and waist circumference are key indicators for assessing students' nutritional status and show significant variations. This study outlines some university students' nutritional status and lifestyle habits, which can shed light on the current condition of our youth and the need to study this population further and carry out interventions. It is important to carry out preventive actions focused on improving the nutritional status of young people, given the impact on the health system, the workforce, and future quality of life. Introduction: The rising prevalence of overweight and non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) represents a serious public health problem for young people in countries across the Americas. Objective: To analyze the nutritional status of students at a higher education institution in Medellín, Colombia, 2022. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 352 students. Sociodemographic information, nutritional status, and lifestyle habits were collected through surveys. Validated instruments were used to measure nutritional indicators. Data analysis included frequency distributions, summary measures, and statistical tests applied based on the assumption of normality. Results: 31.82% of students were overweight, 22.16% had a high body fat percentage, and 19.32% were at cardiovascular risk. A statistical association was observed between BMI and both academic programs and age. While the consumption of natural foods was common, there was also a high intake of ultra-processed foods. Additionally, 62.78% of students engaged in adequate physical activity, yet 95.17% displayed sedentary behavior, and 39.77% had low handgrip strength. A potential positive correlation was identified between BMI, waist circumference, body fat percentage, and handgrip strength. Discussion: The study revealed a concerning nutritional profile among university students, marked by overweight, increased adiposity, and sedentary behavior, aligning with findings from similar studies conducted in this population across various regions. Although the frequent consumption of natural foods and engagement in adequate physical activity are positive aspects, they contrast with the high intake of ultra-processed foods and prevalent sedentary lifestyles—patterns consistent with research in Latin America. Conclusion: The university environment often increases students' risk of metabolic disorders, high consumption of ultra-processed foods, excess adiposity, and low physical activity levels, contributing to a nutritional profile that calls for attention and implementing preventive educational strategies.

Highlights Students and teachers faced personal, family, and work situations due to the pandemic that had a profound impact on physical and mental health. The objective was to identify the factors related to mental health disturbances in university students from three nursing programs in Colombia and Spain during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was found that 61.92% of the nursing students manifested symptoms of mental disturbances, 61.58% manifested some degree of family dysfunction, and 44.40% manifested symptoms of posttraumatic stress during the pandemic. Some students may be more likely to have mental health disturbances, such as those with family dysfunction, difficulty paying for food, a breakup with a partner, or symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought consequences to the mental health of the undergraduate population of nursing programs. Objective: To identify the factors associated with mental health disturbances among university students in nursing programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic among students enrolled in nursing programs at two Colombian universities and one Spanish university. An online sociodemographic, economic, and personal survey was administered along with the GHQ-12, the Family APGAR, the MOS Social Support Survey, and the IES-R for posttraumatic stress. The prevalence of mental health disturbances and their differences according to the characteristics of the students were estimated; prevalence ratios were also obtained. Results: Of the 302 students, a prevalence of clinically significant mental was found in 61.92%, family dysfunction in 61.58%, and low social support in 9.33%. In addition, 44.46% had posttraumatic stress symptoms, 52.65% had economic difficulties, 54.61% had academic difficulties, and 69.87% had personal difficulties. These mental disturbances were frequent in the presence of moderate family dysfunction (PR=1.77 CI95%=1.15;2.73), difficulty in paying for food (PR=1.35 CI95%=1.09;1.67), a breakup with a partner (PR=1.27 CI95%=1.02;1.59) and clinically relevant posttraumatic stress symptoms (PR=1.69 CI95%=1.28;2.24). Discussion: Psychological distress and its related factors found in nursing students agree with other findings in the literature. Conclusion: A significant proportion of nursing students were affected in their mental health during the pandemic, demonstrating the need for systematic, continuous, and comprehensive strategies by educational institutions.

Highlights Controlling arterial hypertension through medication is important to avoid complications related to this disease. Identifying the associated factors will help health professionals in promoting treatment success. With the practice of health education, it is possible to improve the adherence to pharmacological treatment. Make hypertensive patients aware of the importance of medication in the indicated dosage and schedule. Introduction: With aging, there is an increased risk of suffering from different chronic diseases, including high blood pressure. Hypertension management must be carried out by health professionals, whether or not treatment involves medication. By controlling drug treatment, especially adherence, serious health problems for older people can be avoided. Objective: To determine the factors associated with adherence to arterial hypertension treatment in older adults who live at home. Materials and Methods: A quantitative and cross-sectional study was conducted in La Libertad Region, Peru, with 342 older adults living at home. For data collection, a sociodemographic profile form, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure measurements, the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) test, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), and the Morisky Green Levine (MGL) adherence scale were used. In addition, descriptive and analytical statistics were used. Result: 57.60% of the participants did not adhere to the pharmacological treatment, and, in most of the sociodemographic variables examined, they did not adhere to pharmacological treatment in most cases. Likewise, a relationship between retirement in older adults and the MGL adherence scale score was identified. The study showed evidence linking treatment adherence and age (p=0.01), retirement status (p=0.05), and history of stroke (p=0.004). Discussion: Treatment adherence depends on sociodemographic and health factors for disease control and a healthy lifestyle. Conclusion: Older adults and their caregivers need guidance and education to improve adherence to pharmacological treatments.

Introducción: El uso de sustancias psicoactivas en la población es un problema actual, que afecta a una gran parte de la humanidad, con diversas consecuencias. Objetivo: Analizar los factores asociados al consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en hombres que tienen sexo con otros hombres (HSH) en tres ciudades de Colombia. Materiales y Métodos: Este estudio descriptivo transversal utilizó el método de muestreo respondent-driven sampling y logró una muestra de 1301 HSH. Se evaluó la asociación entre las características sociodemográficas y personales y el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas mediante la prueba chi-cuadrado. Las razones de prevalencia se calcularon con sus intervalos de confianza del 95%. En el análisis multivariado, se empleó una regresión de Poisson con enlace logarítmico y estimador robusto, para explorar los factores asociados con el uso de sustancias psicoactivas. Resultados: La prevalencia de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en el último año fue del 87%, predominando el consumo de alcohol, marihuana y poppers. Tener parejas ocasionales (RP: 0,44; IC 95% 0,29-0,67), asistir a lugares públicos o establecimientos como bares y saunas (RP: 3,39; IC 95% 2,34 - 4,91), el trabajo sexual y no usar condón en la última relación sexual (RP: 2,10; IC 95%: 1,37 - 3,22) son factores asociados con el consumo de estas sustancias. Discusión: Se evidencia una alta prevalencia de consumo recreativo de sustancias psicoactivas, incluso superior a la encontrada en población general. Conclusión: Se confirma una alta prevalencia y asociación con conductas sexuales de riesgo, lo que requiere acciones de promoción y prevención para reducir el uso de estas sustancias.

Highlights Clima ético geral e os seus fatores foram avaliados como positivo, exceto o fator médicos foi percebido como negativo entre os profissionais de saúde. Item “Médicos pedem a opinião dos enfermeiros sobre decisões de tratamento” foi avaliado como negativo, o que reflete a dificuldade de relação entre a enfermagem e medicina. Os profissionais de saúde do sexo feminino, com idade acima de 42 anos, com maior tempo de formação e com companheiro perceberam o clima ético positivo. Percepção positiva do clima ético é o reflexo da capacidade de praticar a profissão e da busca de melhorias no cuidado ao paciente e práticas organizacionais relativas a questões éticas. Introdução: O clima ético é definido como a percepção compartilhada entre os profissionais de saúde do que é um comportamento eticamente correto e de como lidar com as questões éticas. Objetivo: Avaliar a percepção do clima ético entre os profissionais de saúde atuantes em um pronto-socorro. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com profissionais de saúde atuantes em pronto-socorro de um hospital universitário do sul do Brasil. A coleta ocorreu em janeiro de 2024 através da Plataforma de promoção do clima ético positivo, por meio do instrumento Hospital Ethical Climate Survey-Versão Brasileira. Os dados foram organizados e analisados na Plataforma de promoção do clima ético positivo, aplicando estatística descritiva. Resultados: Participaram da pesquisa 71 profissionais de saúde, em que o clima ético geral foi classificado como positivo (M=3,73; DP=0,60). Os fatores foram avaliados como positivos, exceto, o fator médico (M=3,23; DP=1,16), classificado como negativo. De forma descritiva, profissionais do sexo feminino (p=0,063), com companheiro (p=0,508), idade acima de 42 anos (p=0,047) e com tempo de formação acima de 17 anos (p=0,072) apresentaram médias elevadas para o clima ético positivo, no entanto, somente a idade apresentou associação significativa. Discussão: Apesar da avaliação positiva do clima ético geral, compreende-se a importância de uma autorreflexão e autoconsciência mediante a tomada de decisão ética na assistência. Conclusão: O clima ético geral e os seus fatores foram avaliados como positivo, no entanto, o fator médicos foi percebido como negativo.

Highlights El modelo ecológico analiza los posibles factores relacionados a la violencia en el entorno doméstico en mujeres, considerando interacciones en el entorno físico y social. Los factores individuales, familiares, comunitarios y socioculturales contribuyen a una mejor comprensión de la complejidad de la violencia doméstica. Los elementos que afectan la aparición y continuidad de la violencia doméstica proporcionan una visión completa, lo cual es esencial para la elaboración de estrategias de intervención eficaces. La revisión sistemática examina una variedad de factores que contribuyen a la violencia doméstica en mujeres y proporciona una visión integral del problema. Introducción: La violencia doméstica es una situación multicausal que impacta a las mujeres, enfrentándolas a desigualdades estructurales significativas. Objetivo: Identificar patrones que perpetúan la violencia doméstica en mujeres mediante una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura, utilizando el modelo ecológico para comprender los factores subyacentes. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura en español, inglés y portugués sobre patrones asociados a la violencia doméstica en mujeres, utilizando las bases de datos PubMed, Scopus, Sociological Abstracts y JSTOR, y siguiendo el método PRISMA. Se identificaron y seleccionaron estudios relevantes, aplicando criterios predefinidos y evaluando su calidad. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 22 investigaciones que cumplieron con los criterios de relevancia y calidad. La revisión revela que la violencia doméstica se perpetúa a través de diversos sistemas: en el microsistema, patrones como el bajo nivel educativo, el consumo de alcohol y drogas, y la dependencia emocional; en el mesosistema, la falta de habilidades para la vida, la incapacidad para tomar decisiones y el maltrato a los hijos; en el exosistema, bajos ingresos, pobreza, desempleo y antecedentes penales; y en el macrosistema, el comportamiento controlador del esposo y de la sociedad. Discusión: El análisis integral desde diferentes perspectivas microsistémicas, mesosistémicas, exosistémicas y macrosistémicas, revelan vacíos en el conocimiento existente y refuerza hipótesis sobre los mecanismos subyacentes, corroborando problemas similares en otros estudios. Conclusión: El estudio proporciona una comprensión exhaustiva de la violencia doméstica al analizar patrones desde los diferentes sistemas. Este enfoque guía al desarrollo de intervenciones y políticas de prevención más efectivas y fundamentadas. Como citar este artículo: Brito Jiménez Ivone Tatiana, Rodríguez Ávila Nuria.

Introduction: The effects of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV) during pregnancy are little known. This study aims to describe clinical outcomes in pregnant women with SARS-CoV1 and SARS-CoV2 and their impact on the health of the fetus and newborn. Materials and Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the CAPES Portal of E-Journals, Google Scholar, LILACS, and PubMed search engines. Results: 27 research articles were selected. The mortality rate was higher in pregnant women with SARS-CoV1 than those with SARS-CoV2. The most common symptoms reported by pregnant women with COVID-19 were fever and cough. Most SARS-CoV1 and SARS-Cov2 tests had negative results in infants born to mothers with confirmed COVID-19. Both types of infections caused intrauterine growth restriction and breathing problems in newborns. Discussion: SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 infections share common clinical features such as fever, dry cough, dyspnea, pneumonia, and admission to intensive care unit (ICU) for mechanical ventilation. Although vertical transmission of coronavirus disease 19 is not reported in the literature, IgM levels were found in blood tests from infants of mothers who had SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy. Conclusions: Further research is needed to better understand maternal, fetal, and neonatal clinical outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy to contribute to the precautionary principle and therapeutic decisions on this infection How to cite this article: Furlan, Mara Cristina Ribeiro; Jurado, Sonia Regina; Uliana, Catchia Hermes; Silva, Maria Eduarda Pascoaloto; Nagata, Letícia Akie; Maia, Anna Clara Freitas.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) does not have any clinical symptoms in the early stages and, therefore, most people only attend healthcare units when they are already in the terminal phase of the disease, which is still common in Brazil. Objective: To identify the prevalence of altered estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and associated factors in users of the unified health system suffering from diabetes mellitus and/or systemic hypertension at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted based on the medical records of 331 users attending the State Specialty Care Center located in the west-central region of Minas Gerais, Brazil between September 2017 and June 2019. A descriptive univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were performed. Results: A total of 118 (35.6%) of the participants had altered eGFR. A significant association between altered eGFR and age was identified: older people ≥ 60 years old were 5.53 times more likely to have altered eGFR. Participants using polypharmacy were 2.64 times more likely to have altered eGFR. Discussion: In line with similar studies, a lack of follow-up on the initiation and development of CKD in the early stages was identified, implying a late approach and limited actions to preserve kidney function. Conclusions: A high prevalence of altered eGFR was identified (35.6%) with no records in the tables that could lead to a preventive approach to impaired kidney function. Advanced age and polypharmacy were identified as independent variables in the alteration of kidney function.

Introduction: Bullying is a complex and multifactorial social phenomenon, which refers to the exposure of different forms of abuse on a repetitive, systematic and intentional basis. Objective: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with bullying in adolescents at three public educational institutions. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with 816 adolescents covering sixth to ninth grades from three educational institutions in Bucaramanga, Colombia, who were evaluated in 2014 through self-administered questionnaires. Results: 84.2% of the school-going adolescents reported having witnessed any type of violence, of which 33.8% were victims and 22.3% were aggressors. Verbal violence prevailed at 80.1%, followed by physical violence at 47.7% and psychological violence at 36.9%. No relationship was found in the bivariate analysis between bullying and gender, school, school hours, academic year, type of family and their role as witnesses and victims. An association was found in the bivariate and multivariate analysis between school bullying and gender, type of family, smoking and consumption of energy drinks in the aggressor role. Discussion: The identification of the variables associated with school bullying facilitates prioritizing and guiding decisions that will be made regarding this issue. Conclusions: School bullying is a complex phenomenon that requires the articulation of the academic community, parents, healthcare professionals and local authorities.

Introduction: Humanized nursing care is the main mission of nurses, which requires not only theoretical and intervention knowledge, but also special emotional skills aimed at improving the quality of nursing care. However, this research topic has been little addressed in the literature, which indicates the need to strengthen and expand knowledge on this matter. Objective: To describe the relationship between emotional intelligence and nursing care in a public hospital in Mexico. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional correlational descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 127 patents. Valid Emotional Quotient Inventories (EQI) and Nurse Caring Behavior Assessment Tools were applied. Results: A high and significant relationship was found between the two variables (rs=0.816; p=0.001) R2=.704, that is, emotional intelligence is responsible for 70.4% of the variability in nursing care. Discussion: The results are similar to those found in other studies in which the variables have been researched separately. The importance of emotional intelligence in nursing practice and the perception of care as a good one is evident. Conclusions: When nurses have an adequate level of emotional intelligence, it will be directly reflected on the quality of nursing care, which indicates the importance of mental health in improving the indicators for quality of nursing care.

Introduction: High blood pressure (HBP), diabetes (DM2), obesity, dyslipidemia and lifestyle habits such as diet, physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking are risk factors for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of risk factors, which are associated with cardiovascular diseases, in the population aged 18 to 64 years old living in the Ayacucho district and their relationship with modifiable behavioral factors. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in which the Ministry of Health's "Research Model, Risk Factors of Noncommunicable Diseases, and Health-Related Quality of Life Measures" was applied to a sample of 412 people. Laboratory tests were conducted for glycemia and lipid panel, and weight, height (anthropometry) and blood pressure were recorded. The data were analyzed using Generalized Linear Mixed Models and Chi-squared tests with a 95% confidence level. Results: 64.8% of the population showed at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Prevalences of 14.6 and 7.8% were observed for HBP and DM2, respectively, which significantly increase with age (p<0.05) and occur more frequently in men, alcohol abusers and smokers who are poorly fed with low levels of physical activity. Conclusions: HBP, DM2, dyslipidemia and obesity are associated with modifiable behavioral risk factors. If corrective actions are implemented, the risk of acquiring cardiovascular diseases will be reduced. This information should be used in the evaluation of the impact of intervention programs carried out in the region. How to cite this article : Barboza Palomino Edward Eusebio.

Introduction: Cardiopulmonary arrest is a critical health condition, with survival rate linked to the speed with which cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed. Objective: To evaluate self-confidence, knowledge and ability about cardiopulmonary resuscitation of nursing interns. Materials and Methods: Descriptive and quantitative study, conducted from April to July 2018, at a Public University of Northeast Brazil, with 80 nursing interns. Knowledge test, self-confidence scale in emergency situation and practical assessment of skills with dummy were applied. Kruskal-Wallis and Pearson's Chi-square tests were used. Results: Inmates had low self-confidence averages in emergency situations. Theoretical questions about place to check the victim's pulse and positioning were more correct among inmates. Major deficits in knowledge were on compression onset (p =0,245) and number of compressions / breaths (p=0,034). In skills, the deficits were in the positioning of the rescuer's hands and arms (p=0,058), trunk movement (p=0,062) and correct depth of compressions (p=0,086). Discussion: There is a need for periodic training and continuing education to enable future nurses to provide prompt, safe and effective care. Conclusion: Weaknesses in knowledge and skill were highlighted, which highlights the relevance of new methodologies to intensify and ensure the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process.

Introduction: Colombia, like other countries, promotes patient safety policies in order to avoid situations that affect their well-being and health, as well as reduce and, if is possible, eliminate the occurrence of adverse events. Objective: To characterize the safety culture of the patient referred by the staff of six surgical centers in Antioquia. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional multicenter study. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture instrument proposed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) was applied to 514 health workers. On the recommendation of AHRQ, the Likert scale of the survey was recoded. Results: On a scale of zero to ten, the average safety climate in surgery services is 8. 62% of the responses on the perception of safety culture were positive in organizational learning / continuous improvement in 81.70% from the workers; in teamwork in the service, 81.54%. Opportunities for improvement in staffing were found (49.98%); non-punitive response to errors (45.98%); and openness in communication (44.28%). Discussion: the dimensions that are strengths and weaknesses reported in the research are comparable to those reported in other studies and require attention from the health system and the directions of the institutions. Conclusion: Strengths and weaknesses were detected in the culture of patient safety. Regarding Strengths: Organizational Learning / Continuous Improvement and Teamwork in the Unit / Service; the rest are opportunities for improvement.

Objetive: This study is aimed to determine the working conditions, health and quality of life of workers involved in the driving industry. Materials and Methods: An integrative review was carried out in the Medline/PubMed, VHL, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, referring to articles related to working conditions, health, and quality of life of workers in the driving industry which had been published between 2010 and 2019, following the guidelines set forth by Ganong. Results: 29 studies met the selected criteria, which were conducted in the driver population working in the area of means of transport such as buses, taxis, motorcycles and the area of cargo transport such as trucks. Discussion: The reality experimented by these workers creates awareness and opens up a space to implement healthcare policies that seek their wellbeing, and at the same time, it is a gateway to creating knowledge about the need to study this population group. Conclusions: The quality of life and working conditions of these drivers are mostly inadequate, affecting them negatively in different ways. Moreover, the health of this group of workers is getting affected by the working conditions that many of them may have, and most of them lack good health practices, having unhealthy habits that are directly related to the work they do.
