Venous ulcers affect up to 3% of the global population, with a high impact on economies and quality of life. This is exacerbated by its recurrence rates, which reach 70% at 12 months after healing. The perpetuation of these cycles of healing and recurrence is not interrupted or even attenuated by the self-care activities recommended and directed toward their prevention. In this context, we sought to identify the effectiveness of interventions that promote adherence to self-care to prevent venous ulcer recurrence. In August 2022, we conducted a literature search via EBSCO in the following databases: CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE Complete, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, and Web of Science. The inclusion criteria were researched in the form of randomised controlled trials or systematic literature reviews, and 99 studies were identified. During the different times of selection, four studies met the defined inclusion criteria and were included. As the main conclusions, the emphasis goes to the importance of the use of compression and the greater effectiveness of higher compression classes for the prevention of recurrence. Different educational methodologies seem to be important to increase knowledge about prevention, specifically regarding the aetiology of recurrence and the implementation of prevention measures.

Evidence suggests affective responses to exercise can influence exercise adherence. However, there is a limited understanding of how and when to measure core affect in resistance training. As such, the objective of this systematic review was to analyze how the Feeling Scale and/or the Felt Arousal Scale have been used in resistance training to assess core affect. Focus was given to the contextual feasibility, timing, and frequency of assessment. A search in PubMed, SPORTDiscus, and PsycINFO databases was conducted (last search date July, 2022) with the purpose of including experimental and non-experimental studies, utilizing the Feeling Scale and/or the Felt Arousal Scale in resistance training, and focused on apparently healthy individuals of any age. Twenty-seven studies (N = 718 participants) published between 2009–2022 were qualitatively analyzed. Both scales appeared to be able to detect core affect within a wide array of intensities, ages, and equipment. As for the timing and frequency of measurement, no apparent standardization was evident. The use of the Feeling Scale, the Felt Arousal Scale, or both, to measure core affect appears to be feasible in resistance training practices. However, a lack of methodological background raises concerns regarding the quality of previous studies’ assessments and comparisons of results across studies.La persona trasplantada de corazón y la familia experimentan diferentes tipos de transición, y un acompañante facilitador de su formación para una transición saludable es fundamental.
La Enfermería de Rehabilitación (ER), debido a sus habilidades, puede ayudar a las personas a recuperar la estabilidad y el bienestar, sin embargo, existe poca difusión de su fundamento en las
teorías de enfermería. Objetivo: Analizar el aporte de la Teoría de las Transiciones en la práctica de
la enfermería rehabilitadora orientada al empoderamiento de la persona trasplantada al corazón y
a la familia. Metodología: Estudio crítico-reflexivo guiado por la Teoría de las Transiciones de Afaf
Meleis y por la legislación reguladora para la práctica del enfermero rehabilitador. Resultado: Se
percibe que la teoría de las Transiciones sustenta la intervención de Enfermería de Rehabilitación
en las áreas de conocimiento y aprendizaje de habilidades de la persona trasplantada cardíaca y su
familia, conduciendo a su empoderamiento, toma de decisiones y acción, haciendo que la persona
se sienta empoderada para superar los retos diarios derivados de su proceso de transición. Conclusión: Es fundamental demostrar la conceptualización en la práctica de enfermería, siendo la transición un foco significativo para la Enfermería de Rehabilitación.
