Death: between the individual and the social
type: item
description: This paper discusses the concept of death and its various types, focusing on how death affects terminally ill nurses. The importance of understanding and managing emotions related to death in nursing practice is explored. Types of death such as natural, apparent, sudden, violent, suicide, homicide, accidental death, and assisted suicide are discussed. The paper reflects on the universal fear of death and how this fear can influence the pursuit of achievement to counteract distress, often leading to an anxious race against time without enjoying achievement. The importance of recognizing and addressing death-related fears and emotions in nursing staff to provide high quality care to terminally ill patients and their families is highlighted. It is highlighted that, despite the inevitability of death in nursing practice, nursing professionals are not always emotionally prepared to deal with death. It is mentioned that the dying process not only affects nurses in their professional lives but also impacts their personal lives. The need to provide adequate support and resources to help nurses cope with the complex emotions associated with the death of patients is highlighted. In conclusion, this paper highlights the importance of addressing the issue of death in nursing practice, recognizing the need for emotional support and training for nursing professionals. The need for more compassionate and dignified care in the process of caring for terminally ill patients is emphasized

Healthcare Disparities and Cultural Factors in India and Argentina
type: item
description: This scientific text explores the healthcare systems, cultural factors, and health challenges in the Republic of India and Argentina. It begins by emphasizing the importance of understanding how disease is perceived and experienced differently by individuals due to cultural and socioeconomic factors. It highlights that people's definitions of health and illness influence their healthcare-seeking behavior. The text provides insights into India's complex social and economic landscape, characterized by significant diversity in language, religion, and caste. Despite its economic growth, India faces challenges such as poverty, illiteracy, malnutrition, and gender inequality. These factors contribute to a high burden of noncommunicable diseases, respiratory infections, and other health issues. The healthcare system in India is described as a mix of public and private providers, with access to quality care often determined by one's economic status. Comparatively, the Argentine healthcare system is discussed, which includes public, private, and prepaid sectors. Argentina's constitution guarantees access to healthcare as a fundamental right, and public expenditure on health is used to provide free coverage with easy access for the population. The text concludes by emphasizing the importance of addressing health disparities and improving healthcare access, particularly for vulnerable populations. It underscores the role of nursing professionals in providing culturally sensitive care and facilitating effective communication to enhance patient outcomes

Cultural beliefs and parental support for female genital mutilation practices in Ibadan, Oyo State
type: item
description: Introduction: female genital mutilation (FGM) remains a persistent cultural practice in Nigeria despite decades of advocacy against it. This study examined cultural beliefs and parental support for FGM in Ibadan City, Oyo State of Nigeria, where parental decisions and community norms significantly influence its continuation. The purpose was to assess parents’ knowledge of FGM practices, identify cultural beliefs sustaining the practice, and determine the level of parental support within the study area. Method: a descriptive survey design was adopted, targeting parents across the five local government areas of Ibadan. Using a multistage sampling technique, 400 respondents were selected, with 342 valid responses analyzed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests at a 0.05, level of significance. Results: findings revealed that although FGM still exists in Ibadan, perceptions indicate a gradual decline in its prevalence and social endorsement. Most respondents disagreed with cultural beliefs linking FGM to purity, obedience, or family honor, though traces of religious and traditional justification persist. Parental support for FGM was generally low, with stronger support found in rural than urban areas. Hypothesis testing showed that age and education significantly influenced parental support, while gender and religion did not. Conclusions: The study concludes that cultural beliefs and parental support for FGM are weakening in Ibadan, signaling a gradual cultural shift. It recommends strengthening anti-FGM laws, expanding culturally sensitive health campaigns, integrating FGM awareness into educational curricula, and focusing interventions on rural communities where support remains stronger.

Transforming Teacher Competency in Coastal Areas through Training on Digital Worksheet Design Using Canva
type: item
description: Introduction: this inquiry seeks to overcome the insufficient technological and pedagogical capabilities observed among educators in the coastal district of Muara Gembong, Indonesia. Structured training in designing digital Student Worksheets (LKPD) using the Canva application was delivered to advanced participants to enhance their digital literacy and instructional design expertise. The initiative was framed within the Independent Curriculum and sought to generate a sustainable uplift in teacher competencies through context-sensitive and practice-based professional development. Method: employing a Participatory Action Research (PAR) paradigm, the investigation incorporated 15 junior secondary teachers as collaborative co-researchers. The design unfolded across four interrelated phases: a needs diagnostic, training workshops, the classroom deployment of developed materials, and a reflective evaluation. Quantitative indicators comprised digital literacy levels, instructional design proficiency, and overall participant satisfaction. Data were subjected to descriptive statistical treatment and normalized gain (N-Gain) computations to quantify cognitive advancements. Results: aggregate teacher performance on teacher knowledge assessments rose from a mean of 43,33 (pretest) to 81,33 (posttest), yielding a normalized gain of 0,67, which situates the level of enhancement within the moderate-to-high category. The majority of participants produced digital worksheets characterized by visually coherent design and congruence with specified curriculum goals. Aggregate satisfaction ratings for trainers and the training itinerary eclipsed the threshold of 81 points, thereby classifying feedback as “very good.” In addition to cognitive strides, teachers conveyed heightened self-efficacy and observable increases in student engagement during the materials’ classroom application. Conclusions: The program significantly enhanced teachers’ expertise in creating digital instructional stra…

Use Of Pain Assessment Scales In Non-Communicative And Communicative Patients
type: item
description: Introduction: Adequate pain management in non-communicative patients represents a critical challenge in healthcare. Globally, approximately 50 % of non-communicative critically ill patients experience pain during their stay in intensive care units. However, the use of validated scales such as the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS) and the Critical-Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) remains limited. In Ecuador, 87 % of medical staff do not use scales to assess pain, resulting in 66 % of patients not receiving an adequate assessment and 92 % experiencing ineffective pain management. Objective: to analyze the clinical utility and application of validated scales for the assessment of pain in non-communicative patients in hospital settings. Methods: a systematic review was conducted with a qualitative-descriptive approach, using the PRISMA methodology. Twenty-seven articles published between 2020 and 2025, in English and Spanish, located in scientific databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Scielo, were included. Results: the Behavioral Pain Scale (BPS), the Pain Indicator Behavior Scale (ESCID), PAINAD, CPOT, and NCS-R were the most frequently used. These tools were found to have good validity and reliability for detecting pain in non-communicative critically ill patients and were effective in procedures such as tracheal aspiration and mobilization. New technologies have also shown advances in the automation of pain diagnosis, although with limitations in standardization. Conclusion: adequate pain assessment in non-communicative patients is possible through validated behavioral scales, whose clinical application requires ongoing professional training and adaptation to the patient's context.

Effectiveness of the kangaroo method in premature infants
type: item
description: Introduction: prematurity is one of the main causes of neonatal mortality, the Mother Kangaroo Method (MMC), developed in 1978 in Colombia, emerges as an effective and humanized alternative for premature neonates, based on skin-to-skin contact, strengthening the maternal bond, regulating temperature and promoting breastfeeding. It reduces neonatal mortality by 40 % and optimizes hospital resources. Although it faces cultural and structural challenges worldwide, its implementation can improve the quality of life of newborns and their families. Objective: to determine the effectiveness of the Kangaroo Method in preterm infants. Methods: this article uses a systematic review supported by the PRISMA 2020 Declaration, with a qualitative-descriptive approach. The PICO model was used to define the research question, scientific articles from the last 5 years were reviewed in ten databases, using MeSH terms, DeCs and using Bilean operators, related to the Kangaroo method and its effectiveness. Results: a compilation of studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the kangaroo method in improving the quality of life, basing this on different categories supported by authors who defend this method as an effective and recommended alternative to problems such as breastfeeding, socioeconomic level or medical problems that arise in premature newborns. Conclusions: CMM is an effective strategy to care for preterm newborns, however, despite its multiple benefits, there is a lack in terms of its application, for this reason the dissemination of this effective method is sought.

Art Therapy in people with dementia: a rapid literature review
type: item
description: Introduction: dementia is a highly prevalent condition, affecting approximately 55 million people worldwide. Art therapy is identified as a non-pharmacological intervention that can offer benefits in managing dementia symptoms. The objective was to map the evidence in the existing literature about the benefits associated with art therapy on the quality of life of elderly people with dementia in a community setting. Method: a rapid literature review was conducted, addressing the PICO question, "What evidence is there about the benefits of art therapy for older adults with dementia in the community?”. CINAHL and MEDLINE databases (via EBSCOhost) were used for this study, on 23/11/2024. Reference lists of the selected articles and Google Scholar were also reviewed. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies focused on individuals aged 65 and older with dementia, involving art therapy interventions, published between 2019 and 2024, in English or Portuguese. Studies which refered to secondary dementias due to other conditions, hospital care, and programs exclusively for caregivers were excluded. Results: 8 studies were analyzed, that included music therapy, painting and visual arts, drama, and poetry. The identified benefits included improvements in the quality of life, social interaction, self-esteem, relaxation and general well-being, relief of emotional symptoms, as well as economic benefits. Conclusions: the use of art therapy is an approach that may improve quality of life and well-being. It is essential to adapt the chosen intervention to the individual's needs. This review has some limitations, such as the risk of bias due to deficits in blinding in some analyzed studies.

Rehabilitation nursing in promoting health literacy in the elderly and preventing falls
type: item
description: The aim of this study was to map the available scientific evidence on the intervention of rehabilitation nurse specialists in the promotion of health literacy, with an emphasis on the prevention of falls in the elderly. The literature review suggest a positive relationship between adequate Health Literacy and a lower prevalence of falls, although more studies are needed to consolidate this association. The promotion of Health Literacy in the context of falls prevention can be operationalized in three main areas: identification and assessment of risk factors; mobilization and provision of resources; education, teaching and training. Within the scope of their competencies, rehabilitation nurses play a central role in developing and implementing strategies that promote the empowerment of the elderly, providing tools that facilitate informed decision-making and the adoption of behaviors aimed at preventing falls.

Dating Violence: Responsibility of the Nurse Specialist in Community and Public Health
type: item
description: Dating violence represents a significant public health challenge. Recent data indicates an increase in its prevalence, with serious consequences for the victims, making intervention necessary. A theoretical-reflective methodology was used, supported by bibliographic research. Recent national findings show an increase in the legitimization of physical violence, control, and stalking. The consequences for victims range from low self-esteem to suicidal behavior. The results are unanimous in reinforcing the importance of prevention and raising awareness about healthy relationships. The specialist nurse in community and public health plays an important role in raising awareness and educating young people about the issue, due to their specific competencies. The lack of studies highlights the need for further research to build evidence that enables effective intervention.

Occupational risks for nursing interns according to their working conditions
type: item
description: Introduction. Working conditions are the combination of physical, organizational, and environmental factors present in the workplace. Occupational hazards are those elements that can harm the physical, mental, or emotional well-being of workers. In the field of nursing, these hazards include exposure to biological, chemical, and physical agents. Methodology. A quantitative, observational, cross-sectional, and correlational study was conducted with 75 eighth-semester nursing students from the Technical University of Ambato, Ecuador. Two validated questionnaires were used to assess working conditions and occupational hazards. Data were analyzed using Pearson and Spearman correlation tests. Results. 76 % of students reported a high biological risk, followed by 50,7 % for chemical risk, and 65,3 % for physical risk. Working conditions were perceived as inadequate, especially in intra-work aspects. A significant correlation was observed between poor working conditions and exposure to occupational hazards (p < 0,05). Conclusions. The alternative hypothesis is accepted in all four cases. That is, there is a direct and strong relationship between occupational conditions and hazards and their biological, chemical, and physical dimensions. Improving aspects such as workload and supervision could significantly reduce these risks, highlighting the need to establish safety policies and protocols in healthcare institutions.

The acculturation process of ethnic youth during their time at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas
type: item
description: Indigenous education in Mexico revealed profound inequalities with respect to the rest of the population. The Sectoral Education Program 2020-2024 established that inclusion and educational equity were fundamental pillars to guarantee social justice. In this context, the research addressed the acculturation process of ethnic youth at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas (UAZ), through life histories and qualitative techniques such as interviews, non-participant observation, and documentary analysis. Historically, indigenous education in Mexico has been marked by acculturation, forced assimilation and castellanization. During the colonial period, missionaries promoted evangelization and established schools with the aim of transforming indigenous identity. Subsequently, in the 19th and 20th centuries, the education system continued to exert pressure to integrate native peoples into the mestizo national culture, perpetuating the marginalization of their identity. In the 21st century, although constitutional reforms and intercultural education programs were implemented, ethnic youth still faced obstacles in higher education. The lack of records on indigenous students at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas (UAZ) highlighted the absence of institutional policies aimed at their inclusion. The research used Grounded Theory and the Expanded Model of Relative Acculturation to analyze the cultural adaptation of these students. Using ATLAS.ti software and Sankey Diagrams, their experiences were represented, making visible the barriers and challenges they faced in their university journey.

The Process of Autonomy of indigenous peoples in the state of Michoacán today
type: item
description: The article analyzed the process of autonomy of the indigenous communities in Michoacán, highlighting the historical struggle of these peoples for their self-determination. Autonomy was presented as a complex process that allowed various communities to establish systems of self-government to avoid dependence on local councils. In this context, the case of Cherán K'eri was mentioned, which in 2011 demonstrated strong internal solidarity while facing state repression. Furthermore, in 2004, the communities of Nurio and Quinceo also declared themselves autonomous, setting a precedent in the region. The study showed how autonomy not only represented a vindication of collective rights, but also forced nation states to rethink their political structures. The influence of the Zapatista uprising in 1994 and the legal reforms of 2001 that promoted the recognition of indigenous rights were mentioned. The importance of various legal bodies, such as the SCJN and the TEPJF, in the protection of these rights was also highlighted. The article also addressed the administration of communal resources, the fight against political corruption and the establishment of community security bodies, such as the Kuarichas. Finally, the progress of these communities in their self-government was recognized, although the need to guarantee an efficient use of the budget was emphasized. Indigenous autonomy in Michoacán was presented as an evolving process, marked by resistance, organization and the search for collective well-being.

Mentoring in Developing Best Practices for Elementary School Teachers in Indonesia
type: item
description: Introduction: Elementary school teachers face challenges in designing and documenting best practices from their teaching experiences. These difficulties are often caused by a lack of understanding of what constitutes best practices, how to format and write them systematically, and the limited specialized training to support these skills. Teachers need ongoing support through training and technical guidance to develop skills for effectively documenting and disseminating best practices. Objective: The aim of this community service program is to improve teachers' ability to develop best practices. Methods: This study uses a lesson study method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data was obtained from observing activities during training and filling out descriptive questionnaires. Results: The methods and teaching materials used by teachers are dominated by methods and sources that are less relevant to the needs of the times. Low student attention, interest, and competence reinforce that there are deficiencies in the learning process. Teachers need e-modules based on local wisdom to help improve cultural literacy and critical thinking skills. Conclusions: This study concludes that there is a need to develop teaching materials in the form of e-modules developed based on local wisdom that can improve cultural literacy and critical thinking skills for elementary school students

Breastfeeding and education in the puerperium
type: item
description: This systematic review explores the effectiveness of various educational and emotional interventions to promote breastfeeding in the postpartum period, analyzing their benefits and limitations. Interventions include prenatal educational programs, mobile apps, emotional support, nutritional supplementation, and personalized teaching methods such as teach-back, which has been shown to improve breastfeeding self-efficacy. Research shows that a combination of approaches, such as psychosocial support and technology integration, is essential to reduce practical and emotional barriers faced by mothers, especially in cases of cesarean section, postpartum depression, and socioeconomic vulnerability. Although some interventions do not directly increase the duration of exclusive breastfeeding, they reduce the perception of difficulties, contributing to more effective breastfeeding. The study concludes that a holistic approach, including education, emotional support and counseling, is key to improving breastfeeding outcomes and supporting maternal and child health in diverse populations.

Women's participation in the process of autonomy in the community of Cherán, Michoacán
type: item
description: Indigenous women have often been judged without foundation or reason, they have been denied participation in public life, denied the right to let their voice express everything they consider to be best for their people or for society as a whole. In Cheran Michoacán, with a “Basta ya!” (Enough already!) that came from the mouths of some women, the transformation of an environment full of violence that filled the community members of that native town with fear began. Relationships between each of the members of the community were strengthened, to protect what was most sacred to them: “life, mother nature”. It also led to a change that benefited women in terms of political participation, because they began to be present in the assemblies, in the Greater Council, representing the interests of each one of them and also of their territory.

Development of intercultural competence of university teachers. A teacher training experience
type: item
description: Unlike training, which involves the preparation of an organization's personnel to perform a certain activity, teacher training deals with the “acquisition, definition and redefinition of skills, knowledge, abilities and values for the performance of the teaching function throughout their professional life” (Estepa Murillo et al., 2005), which has recently been characterized as competencies that teachers should develop as part of their professional profile. This training, however, is mostly focused on pedagogical aspects (teaching planning, development of teaching-learning or assessment strategies, development of teaching materials) and lately on the inclusion of technological tools and Artificial Intelligence to “improve” classes -especially since the Covid-19 pandemic- and leaves aside other important aspects for the development of the teaching person. This paper presents the redesign of a workshop whose main objective is to develop intercultural competence in higher education teachers, specifically around the French language, culture and education, while guiding them in their search for mobility options to French-speaking countries, which, incidentally, are less widespread compared to Anglo-Saxon options.

Impact of Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation in the control of type I diabetes in adults in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area
type: item
description: Introduction: the measures taken by the Argentine government to avoid contagion of the SARS-CoV-2 virus consisted in what was called Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation (Aislamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio, ASPO), which was established on March 20th of 2020. The disposition restricted medical checkups and physical activity for several months and modified the population’s eating habits. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a high incidence and prevalence pathology worldwide. While the majority of the patients suffer from DM II, the percentage of DM I and its peculiarities make worth an analysis regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: assessing the impact of ASPO on the metabolic control of patients who live in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) during the period March-December 2020. Results: of the 45 subjects involved in the study, 42,2 % saw an increase in their HbA1c level, did not know the value, or did not get tested. This is a situation of clinical interest for a more exhaustive follow-up. In addition, 60 % of the total gained weight and 38 % decreased the frequency of physical activity, while 35 % did not perform any activity at all. Furthermore, 73,3 % reported having experienced anxiety, 64,4 % apathy, and 60 %, sadness. Conclusion: the impossibility of carrying out ordinary activities, the suspension or reduction of frequency of physical exercise, and the increase and modification of the quality of meals with the resulting weight gain had an impact on the rising of HbA1c levels during the Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation

Marriage Practice: A Comparative Analysis between Chinese and Ethiopian People
type: item
description: Marriage has been crucial to maintaining human reproduction, social progress, and cultural continuity. Countries have distinctive wedding traditions that reflect social life, morals, religion, values, sexual consciousness, and national psychology's development trends. The article evaluates and compares the variations between Chinese and Ethiopian wedding cultures from the perspectives of traditional values, religion, and wedding processes to understand the variances and similarities of marriage cultures in the process of cultural globalization. The approach adopted in this study is an integrative or narrative review which enables us to capture the practice of marriage culture in Ethiopian and Chinese people. The article revealed that Chinese and Ethiopian marriage practice is similar in terms of pride price, Wedding Ring, wedding banquet, wedding gift, and Wedding ceremony, but have different practice in dressing clothes color and Marriage Sense. But, the impact of cultural globalization is melting both countries’ wedding traditions into Western style.

Knowledge and attitudes about blood donation in residents of the Chigüilpe commune
type: item
description: Introduction: blood transfusion is a procedure performed daily in health institutions to ensure clinical and surgical care. Every year, blood needs are greater than availability, which influences the scarcity of the resource. This research was conducted with the aim of describing knowledge and attitudes about blood donation. Methods: a cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 146 people from the Chigüilpe commune. A 19-question survey was used, divided into two dimensions: the first assesses sociodemographic data and the second information related to knowledge about donations. The instrument was applied in person and through an online form. Results: males predominated over females (60,3 %), 37,7 % were between 45 and 60 years old, 65,8% reported having donated blood at some point, 1,4 % reported not knowing the usefulness of donated blood, only 2,7 % considered donating to be harmful to health, and 81,5 % expressed their willingness to donate in the future. The main motivation for donating was that a family member or friend needed the blood (63 %). Conclusions: the residents of the Chigüilpe commune showed a moderate general knowledge about blood donations, which became lower when dealing with specifics on the subject such as requirements. A positive attitude towards donation and a low percentage of erroneous beliefs were found

Perception of illness and death in the nursing setting
type: item
description: This paper delves into how nurses perceive illness and death and how it impacts their daily practice. Nurses' perceptions are shaped by their educational background, professional experience, personal beliefs, and cultural context. They receive training in disease management and palliative care, providing them with the knowledge to approach these situations professionally. However, personal experiences, beliefs, and emotions also influence their response. The evolution of medical science has led to the medicalization of death, with nurses often caring for dying patients in hospital settings. The emotional burden on nurses necessitates emotional self-awareness and support networks to manage stress and trauma effectively. Cultural influences play a significant role in how nurses perceive illness and death. Some cultures avoid open discussions about death, creating communication barriers. Nurses must develop culturally sensitive communication skills to provide respectful care. Various medical traditions, such as Western medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Indigenous medicine, offer different perspectives on illness and death. Cultural differences extend to funeral practices and beliefs about the afterlife. Anonymous interviews with nurses highlighted their diverse responses to death and the emotional toll it can take. Support programs and psychological assistance should be available to help nurses cope with these challenges. In conclusion, nurses' perceptions of illness and death are multifaceted, influenced by education, experience, personal beliefs, and culture. Emotional management and institutional support are crucial for effective patient care. Creating an environment that encourages open communication and respect for these issues is essential. Nurses must engage in ongoing self-reflection to provide compassionate care and address the complex emotional aspects of their profession

Humanized care in nursing students: review of concepts and background
type: item
description: Dehumanization is the deprivation of the qualities that distinguish people as human beings. It can be understood as the consequence of a rational, scientific model that moves away from human sensitivity. The meaning and essence of humanized care comes from the word “humanity” defined as sensitivity, compassion, kindness towards others. The person in charge of managing this care is the nursing staff, since their main focus in their activities is care in the care and provision of health services. A bibliographic study was carried out with the aim of reviewing the state of the art of humanized care in relation to the sociodemographic data of nursing students. To define the social and ethical responsibilities of nursing and explain the implications of humane care, a model is proposed that includes ten factors of care. These factors include the practice of kindness and equanimity, support for deep beliefs, the cultivation of spiritual practices, the development of authentic caring relationships, and the expression of feelings. In addition, emphasis is placed on the creative use of knowledge, the creation of healing environments, the attention to basic needs with deliberate awareness, and the willingness to address spiritual and existential dimensions. These principles underpin care as a way of inhabiting the world and developing projects that promote transcendence and interpersonal relationships in a cosmic context
