Ethics of care and humanistic learning in the training of cardiologists: a semi-systematic review
type: item
description: This article aimed to reflect on the ethics of care and humanistic learning in the training of cardiologists. The theoretical development was conceived around three core aspects: ethical foundations of care in cardiology practice, humanistic learning in specialized medical education, and the formative and institutional implications of cardiology specialization. The methodological approach was carried out through a semi-systematic review of the English-language literature, focusing on the theoretical aspects investigated. The analysis covered publications between 2019 and 2025, applying the PRISMA guideline for abstract selection. The search was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and DOAJ databases, using Boolean operators (AND, OR) and specific keywords. The findings revealed that the ethics of care and humanistic learning are manifested in the training of cardiologists through empathy, respect, professionalism, and ethical and social commitment. Furthermore, the need for a transformative curriculum that integrates embodiment, gratitude, and collaborative humanistic learning experiences is highlighted. It is concluded that humanistic learning and its educational implications in clinical cardiology demand an integration of technical knowledge, the ethics of care, and emotional sensitivity. The future vision of this academic production is oriented toward achieving specialized medical education that evolves toward dual certification with a humanistic approach, strengthening cardiologists' capacity to face complex challenges.

Factors associated with adverse events: a systematic review
type: item
description: All professional and work practices carry risks for the person performing them. However, in the field of nursing practice in healthcare, these risks involve both the nursing professional and the patient receiving care. When these risks cause unintended and unplanned harm, they are called adverse events. The objective was to describe the main adverse events in health, drugs, nursing, and medication. The PRISMA methodology was used to integrate a systematic review, which included articles from 2017 to 2023 in the following categories: health, drugs, nursing, and medication. The sample finally consisted of 17 articles, which were categorized. It can be said that adverse events in health are preventable in a high percentage of cases and have a major health, economic, and social impact. It is concluded that it is important to improve healthcare and further strengthen knowledge, even taking into account that mistakes can be made, and to seek ways to obtain improved results for the patient, as there are many factors that influence the occurrence of an adverse event.

Developmental Coordination Disorder: an invisible challenge in the prevention of non-communicable diseases
type: item
description: Introduction: Developmental coordination disorder, or developmental dyspraxia, is a condition characterized by movement difficulties. It is commonly identified at an early age, although it often persists into adolescence and adulthood. This presents as a cause of vulnerability to the increase in non-communicable diseases. Objective: To argue that developmental dyspraxia is a cause of early risk for the prevention of non-communicable diseases, integrating both the motor dimension and mental health in its treatment. Development: Dyspraxia and its associated movement difficulties lead to reduced participation in sports activities by those who suffer from it, generating a series of physical, social, and emotional difficulties, which require systematic action from the public health sector, seeking comprehensive improvement measures. Conclusions: Dyspraxia is a complex pathology that affects people in a multidimensional way. Therefore, it must be addressed through comprehensive programs from an early age, through public and educational policy actions that are focused at the well-being of future generations.

love of work or addiction? Understanding workaholics
type: item
description: Workaholism is defined as a person working more than their job requires. Although there is no specific medical definition, it is associated with some forms of stress and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. One of the key elements in workaholism is the person's denial of what is happening to them. The addict has a type A behavior pattern by being constantly involved in an excessive and chronic struggle to achieve an unlimited number of goals in the shortest possible time, even against the opinion of other people or the circumstances that surround them, coming to believe the justifications they resort to when faced with complaints from their family or coworkers. Their efforts are more than what is expected by their superiors, neglecting their health and work-life balance, generating negative consequences. However, despite everything, there are also positive consequences expressed in job satisfaction and respect in the workplace. Several basic characteristics determine people with this addiction, such as working compulsively, focusing on their work more than the process, the inability to relax after work, presenting a need to be in control and to do things their way, and giving greater importance to work than to relationships with others. To measure workaholic status, there are various self-report questionnaires, such as the WO-5, WART, and DUWAS, among others. In conclusion, workaholism is a topic that urgently needs further study by experts. It is imperative to recognize the presence of this disorder in workers in order to establish prevention and intervention strategies.

Scientific writing in mental health: a necessity in the Latin American scientific community
type: item
description: In the diverse academic committees in which we have participated, it has been noted that mental health professionals write their research reports with numerous abbreviations, jargon specific to their field, and overly technical scientific language, which is sometimes incomprehensible to professionals from other disciplines. Based on this, the present study aims to help mental health professionals in Latin America improve their scientific writing by taking literary philosophy into account. If these specialists adopt these principles, their articles would be accessible to all members of the scientific community and to readers interested in the topic covered. Consequently, it would help to further systematize the content specific to their specialty and could enrich interscience.

Returning to the Self: Spiritual and Humanistic Curricular Trends in 21st-Century Education.
type: item
description: The curriculum study addresses the urgent need to reconfigure curricular approaches in 21st-century education, highlighting the importance of incorporating spiritual and humanistic dimensions into academic training. In a context characterized by challenges such as globalization, climate change, social crises, and technological acceleration, there is a need for education that goes beyond technical and utilitarian knowledge. The purpose is to explore how current curricular trends are responding to these challenges by integrating practices that favor the integral development of the human being, promoting cognitive, ethical, emotional, and spiritual competencies. Within this framework, from an interpretative paradigm, qualitative approach, and hermeneutic curricular methodology, the holistic and humanistic approach is analyzed, which proposes a vision of the human being as an interconnected system, addressing his mind, body, and spirit integrally. In conclusion, it is highlighted that returning to Self responds to contemporary demands, preparing students to build a more ethical, conscious, and sustainable future. Education, understood as a profoundly human act, must inspire wisdom, compassion, and a sense of collective responsibility in the face of global challenges.

Use of a non-sterile water trap in patients with chest trauma
type: item
description: Proper management of the water trap for pleural drainage in thoracic trauma is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of using a non-sterile water trap for pleural drainage in thoracic trauma patients at the “Servicio de Cirugía de Tórax del Servicio Autónomo Hospital Universitario de Maracaibo”. Fifty-six patients of both sexes, aged 18 to 85 years, diagnosed with thoracic trauma were studied. The most common complications were hemothorax and pneumothorax, and less frequently, hemopneumothorax and diaphragmatic hernia. Only two patients (3.6%) presented with an insertion site infection, neither of whom received antibiotics. It is concluded that non-sterile water traps can be safely used in patients with thoracic trauma, and it is recommended that these patients receive antibiotic therapy with cephalosporins.

description: Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with functional dentition (FD) in adults from Tlaxcoapan, Hidalgo, Mexico, with a focus on chronic diseases (diabetes and hypertension) and smoking. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 60 adults (18–80 years) selected by non-probability sampling from an urban health center. FD was defined as the presence of ≥21 natural teeth (dependent variable). Independent variables included age, education, sex, smoking, diabetes, and hypertension (self-reported). Univariate and bivariate analyses (Mann-Whitney U, chi-square, and Fisher exact tests) were used with Stata 14.0 (α=0.05). Results: The mean age was 50.7±16.2 years, and 50% were women. 71.7% of participants had functional dentition. Participants without FD were on average older (56.9 ± 13.4 years) than those with FD (48.2 ± 16.7 years), with a marginally significant difference (p = 0.0758). Fifty-five percent of participants with diabetes did not have FD, compared to 15% among those without diabetes (p = 0.001). The distribution of sex, education, smoking, and hypertension was similar between groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Diabetes was shown to be the main factor associated with the loss of functional dentition in this population, supporting its impact on oral health. Although advanced age showed a relevant trend, other factors such as smoking did not reach statistical significance, possibly due to the limited sample size. Keywords: Functional dentition, diabetes, oral health, adults, Mexico.

Oral Health-Related Quality of life in children and dental caries: A review of measurement instruments
type: item
description: Introducción: Quality of life is a fundamental aspect of human health, as it reflects how people perceive their environment in relation to disease and well-being-oriented treatments. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRLQL) is the ability to enjoy and express emotions confidently, without pain, discomfort, or disease in the craniofacial complex. Oral health reflects psychological and social conditions crucial to quality of life, influencing self-image and self-perception. Objetive: To present the instruments used to measure OHRLQL and childhood dental caries. Methodology: The search strategy was carried out in the PubMed, Scopus, and LILACS databases from 2010 to 2024. The Mesh terms “quality of life”, “oral health”, “children”, “validation”, “Caries” and “instruments” were used. Articles that evaluated OHROoL, and caries were selected in the following dimentions: oral function, pain, appearance and psychosocial impact. Conclusions: Instruments for measuring OHRQoL in children, adapted to specific age ranges and contexts, allow for a comprehensive assessment of oral function, pain, appearance, and psychosocial impact. When applied to measure caries burden and other oral conditions in childhood, they provide a solid basis for clinical practice and community or educational interventions.

Oxygen therapy humidification: study of the efficiency
type: item
description: Objective: To analyze the clinical practice of using humidifiers during oxygen therapy, compare the efficacy and safety of reusable vs. disposable models, and study their impact on clinical parameters and costs. Materials and methods: Single-center study (tertiary hospital, Spain) with two components: 1. Qualitative survey of 29 healthcare professionals on the cleaning and disinfection of reusable humidifiers. 2. Controlled experimental study measuring humidity, temperature, and noise in seven humidifiers (1 reusable, 6 disposable) under oxygen flows ranging from 0-15 liters per minute. Results: - Clinical practice: Only 13.79% of professionals performed daily cleaning; none complied with daily high-level disinfection. - Technical performance: All humidifiers significantly improved humidity compared to unhumidified direct flow (p<0.01), but increased noise at high flow rates (≥10 lpm), exceeding 60 dB. - Safety: Disposable humidifiers showed a lower microbiological risk. - Cost: Disposable humidifiers were more cost-effective than reusable humidifiers. Discussion: Non-compliance with humidifier cleaning and disinfection protocols exists, posing risks to patient safety. Disposable humidifiers offer cost-efficiency advantages and improve patient safety and comfort by increasing the humidity percentage at any flow rate; however, they cause significant noise at flow rates above 10 lpm. Conclusions: It is recommended to implement standardized protocols, provide ongoing training, and prioritize the purchase of disposable humidifiers for use with oxygen therapy at any flow rate.

Frequency of food consumption in children aged 2 to 4 years in a school in the Andrés Eloy Blanco community. Barquisimeto, Lara state, Venezuela
type: item
description: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the nutritional status, frequency of anemia, and food consumption in children aged 2-4 years attending early childhood education centers in the Andrés Eloy Blanco community. The non-probability convenience sample consisted of 104 children aged 2-4 years and their parents or guardians who were surveyed to determine the weekly frequency of food consumption. Preschoolers were weighed and measured, and the data were entered into the WHO Anthro® program. A presumptive nutritional diagnosis was made based on the height/age and weight/height indicators. Finally, venous blood samples were taken and analyzed to obtain hemoglobin values. The data were processed using the SPSS-18 statistical program, resulting in 14.4% with stunting and 12.5% with overweight or obesity. The frequency of anemia was 10.6%, and the frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption was low compared to the recommendations of the food pyramid, with less than 20 times per week (82.7%). Preschoolers identified with malnutrition, anemia, and/or inadequate dietary habits were referred to the pediatric clinic. These results highlight the need to train healthcare professionals to promote healthy eating habits, with the aim of improving the nutritional status of children and the general population in the medium and long term.

Absenteeism factors in nursing technicians in a Brazilian hospital
type: item
description: Objective: To identify the most relevant factors contributing to absenteeism as perceived by nursing technicians at a Brazilian regional reference hospital. Methodology: A cross-sectional case study was conducted with 284 nursing technicians from this hospital. The Absenteeism Factors at Work Scale was used, and both the overall average and the averages for the scale’s four dimensions were calculated. Results: The main causes of absenteeism were fatigue (score = 2.63), low pay (2.48), work overload (2.39), the need to resolve unavoidable personal or family-related bureaucratic matters (2.38), the need for time for continuing education or postgraduate studies (2.30), lack of professional recognition (2.20), stress and anxiety (2.19), and demotivation (2.03). Conclusions: The primary reasons for absenteeism among nursing technicians are fatigue, low pay, and work overload. These factors are multifactorial in nature, and the perceived importance of each varies according to the professionals’ demographic profiles. The findings enable managers to plan and implement effective actions in education, prevention, and health surveillance, helping to adapt the work environment and reduce the risk of absenteeism.

Conflicts in the nursing team in the surgical units of a highly complex hospital.
type: item
description: Objective: To identify the conflicts experienced by nursing professionals in hospital inpatient units, considering their sociodemographic characteristics. Methodology: This is an exploratory and quantitative study conducted in a high-complexity philanthropic hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. The research was carried out in four surgical inpatient units, with a final sample of 191 nursing professionals, including nurses, technicians, and nursing assistants. Data collection was performed using a structured questionnaire addressing sociodemographic aspects and the perception of conflict occurrence. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 20.0 softwares, applying descriptive and inferential tests to verify associations between variables. Results: The majority of nursing professionals (75.4%) reported experiencing conflicts in their daily work routine, with the most frequent conflicts occurring between nursing assistants/technicians and nurses (56.0%). Conflicts between nurses and coordinators were less frequently reported (9.9%) but showed a significant association in some units. Conclusions: Conflicts in the hospital environment are inevitable, especially within the nursing team. The adoption of structured mediation strategies can contribute to a more harmonious work environment and improve the quality of patient care. Future studies should further explore the impact of these tensions on the team and patient safety, as well as investigate specific interventions for conflict management in the hospital setting.

Young woman with puerperal endometritis: A holistic approach
type: item
description: Puerperal endometritis is a uterine infection that affects the endometrium and is associated with vaginal births and especially cesarean sections. It can progress to puerperal sepsis, affecting structures such as the myometrium and parametrium, and is the third cause of maternal death, according to the PAHO (2020)1 and the WHO (2020)2. These infections are more common in cesarean sections, reaching up to 27%, and result in prolonged hospitalizations with high costs. The case presented describes a 19-year-old patient who, five days after a cesarean section, presented with fever, epigastric pain, and swelling in the surgical area. She was diagnosed with puerperal endometritis and a gynecological infection. Treatment included the nursing care process: assessment, identification of altered domains, interrelated care planning, implementation of interventions, and evaluation of outcomes, resulting in satisfactory health outcomes. Knowledge of preventable complications and the implementation of an evidence-based nursing care process are crucial for reducing risks during the postpartum period and ensuring comprehensive care. This case underscores the importance of specialized care to effectively prevent and treat puerperal infections in institutions such as the HCUAMP.

A Praxiological view of the care, academic and research role from the Ontology Of Nursing
type: item
description: This essay reflects on the importance of nursing research, highlighting the need to integrate care, teaching, management and research activities for the development of the discipline. Despite the fact that research is recognized as essential, many nursing professionals, especially those in care, have not incorporated it into their practice. The article aims to raise awareness among professionals about the value of research, both in clinical and academic practice, and its impact on the development of the discipline. Academic nursing not only transmits technical knowledge, but also fosters critical, ethical, and leadership competencies. However, perceptions of nurses' role as teachers and researchers vary among students, colleagues, and administrators. Nursing research, conceptualized as a scientific process that validates and generates knowledge, faces challenges due to the lack of adequate training and motivation. Barriers include deficiencies in methodological knowledge and resource limitations in health and educational institutions. It is concluded that this context creates a vicious cycle where the lack of research demotivates professionals to train, perpetuating the perception of research as something secondary to their professional role.
