To provide an overview of doctoral programs in nursing offered in Ibero-American countries to inform regional collaboration and academic development.
This study was a descriptive, document analysis.
A systematic mapping was conducted using data obtained from official university and program websites, national postgraduate databases, and academic documents. The variables analysed included country, institution, year of implementation, number of faculty and students, course duration, delivery modality, costs, scholarship availability, internationalisation activities, and research lines.
A total of 94 active nursing doctoral programs were identified. Brazil emerged as the pioneer, launching the first doctoral program in 1982, and remains the regional leader, accounting for 43 programs. Most programs are offered by public institutions (76.6%), delivered primarily in face-to-face format (64.1%), and emphasise research (90.4%). There has been a consistent upward trend in the establishment of programs since 2000, with notable expansion between 2011 and 2025. Despite this progress, regional disparities persist, along with a lack of data standardisation and a limited presence of professional doctorates. While 69.1% of programs reported international activities, few offer joint or dual degrees. The most common thematic axis, “Health Care and Nursing,” proved to be broad and non-specific.
The study reveals the expanding landscape of nursing doctoral education in Ibero-America, while also exposing persistent challenges regarding access, curricular clarity and regional articulation.
Doctoral programs are essential for developing research capacity, academic leadership and evidence-based care. Strengthening these programs could enhance nursing responses to local health needs and promote scientific progress in care delivery.
This study provides the first comprehensive mapping of nursing doctoral programs in Ibero-America, highlighting regional disparities and areas for academic collaboration, with potential impact on policy-making, curriculum development, and the strengthening of research capacity in nursing education.

The article describes the outcomes of a single-centre investigation on the use of OZOILE to improve the healing process in patients with chronic diabetic ulcers. This is a non-randomised interventional study which aims to assess the differences between two groups (total 200 patients) by evaluating healing time at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days. Pain assessment with VAS scale at 15, 30 and 45 days, biofilm test and tissue regeneration by histological evaluation were also taken into consideration. The outcomes show faster healing, reduced pain, control of local infection, aesthetically pleasing and qualitatively better healing. Our treatment strategy involves applying OZOILE detergent without rinsing, Ozoile spray oil and Ozoile cream followed by a non-adherent dressing (paraffin gauze). This integrated protocol shows a safe and effective treatment for diabetic chronic wound healing in a cost-effective manner. The group treated with the Rigenoma/Ozoile protocol demonstrated significantly superior outcomes compared to the control group, including accelerated healing, reduced pain levels, effective management of unpleasant odour, and high levels of compliance from both patients and surgeons. Overall, Ozoile markedly reduced healing time compared with standard care, with results robust across multiple analytical approaches.
Heart failure (HF), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are highly prevalent conditions that often coexist. Using electronic health records (EHRs), we evaluated the 1-year risk of all-cause death, major cardiovascular and kidney events in patients with HF, CKD, ASCVD and with combinations of these conditions, compared with an unselected control population aged ≥75 years.
Retrospective cohort study based on EHR data.
Integrated primary and secondary health unit located in the North of Portugal. Eligible adult patients were identified using EHRs from 2008 to June 2022.
Eight cohorts were defined: (1) control: patients with ≥75 years; (2) ASCVD alone; (3) HF alone; (4) CKD alone; (5) cardiorenal syndrome (CRS): combined HF+CKD; (6) atherosclerotic HF: combined ASCVD+HF without CKD; (7) atherosclerotic CKD: combined ASCVD+CKD without HF and (8) combined ASCVD+CRS. The risk of these conditions was compared with controls using propensity score age-sex matching. We identified 19 129 patients with ASCVD alone, 13 640 patients with HF alone, 40 545 with CKD alone and 10 499 with CRS. The control group comprised 36 532 patients aged 75 years or older.
The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. The main secondary outcomes were cardiovascular death, HF hospitalisations and end-stage renal disease.
The 1-year mortality rate was 0.65% in the control cohort, 5.6% for patients with ASCVD alone, 6.05% for patients with HF alone and 3.53% for patients with CKD alone. Adjusted risk of all-cause death was significantly increased in the ASCVD-alone (HR: 8.42, 95% CI 7.12 to 9.95), HF-alone (HR: 9.19, 95% CI 7.75 to 10.9) and CKD-alone (HR: 5.35, 95% CI 4.62 to 6.19) cohorts, compared with control population; however, patients with the combination of all three conditions (ie, ASCVD+CRS) had the highest mortality risk (HR: 14.18, 95% CI 11.62 to 17.3). A similar association pattern was observed for cardiovascular death, HF events and end-stage renal disease.
Our results support the concept of an atherosclerotic cardiorenal phenotype, with a very high risk of mortality, cardiovascular and renal adverse events. Implementation strategies are required to target these conditions simultaneously.
Healthcare workers (HCWs) report overwhelming demands and experience crisis levels of burnout and unique challenges that further impair their mental health. Promotion of mental health among HCWs using information and communication technology (ICT) has received little empirical research attention and interventions for improving mental health resilience in HCWs are not well established.
Scoping review to map existing evidence and identify gaps for future research regarding the main barriers and facilitators of the acceptance of ICT-based interventions for improving resilience and mental health among HCWs working in all healthcare settings.
This protocol was developed in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. A comprehensive bibliographic search will be conducted between October 2024 and October 2025 in Pubmed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane Library and CINAHL Ultimate (MedicLatina, Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection), with the assistance of a qualified research librarian, to retrieve studies describing data on the main barriers and facilitators to the acceptance of ICT-based interventions for improving resilience and mental health among HCWs working in healthcare settings. There will be no restrictions based on date of publication or language. Inclusion and exclusion criteria will be defined for each element of the PICO(D) framework, and both quantitative and qualitative data will be extracted. Quality will be assessed using the mixed methods assessment tool. Two independent investigators will perform the eligibility assessment and data extraction, and any disagreements will be resolved by a third reviewer. The main results will be narratively synthesised and analysed.
Since secondary data will be analysed, no ethical approval is required. The results will be disseminated through publications subject to peer review.
We aimed to assess the risk of cardiovascular hospitalisations (stroke or myocardial infarction (MI)) following a community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) hospitalisation in a large Portuguese administrative dataset.
Self-controlled case series study.
We used hospitalisation data from National Health Service hospitals across Portugal between 2010 and 2018.
Adults hospitalised for both CAP and stroke/MI in Portugal during the 2010-2018 period (n=13 494, of which 10 400 with stroke and 3094 with MI).
We considered CAP hospitalisation as the exposure (14-, 28- and 91-day exposure periods) and acute cardiovascular (stroke or MI) hospitalisations as the outcome. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) were computed using a conditional Poisson regression (overall and by sex and age subgroups).
Patients were mostly male and above 75 years. Stroke/MI hospitalisation incidence was higher following CAP, compared with the baseline period. Largest differences were observed in the 14-day period after discharge (IRR for stroke: 2.55, 95% CI: 2.33–2.80; IRR for MI: 3.23, 2.78–3.75), compared with the 28-day (IRR for stroke: 2.06, 1.92–2.22; IRR for MI: 2.62, 2.32–2.95) and 91-day periods (IRR for stroke: 1.37, 1.30–1.44; IRR for MI: 1.75, 1.60–1.91). A similar trend was observed for sex and age subgroups.
Our study shows an increased risk of stroke/MI for CAP patients, particularly during the first 2 weeks after being discharged. Effective postdischarge monitoring and follow-up, combined with efforts to prevent CAP occurrence, could improve patient outcomes.
Health systems must guarantee access to quality, safe and effective medicines. Essential medicine lists (EMLs) are crucial prioritisation tools to inform coverage decisions and steward limited health resources under the context of universal healthcare. This study aims to develop a consolidated framework for prioritising the assessment of health technologies to review and update EML for treating diseases or health problems managed in primary healthcare (PHC).
A mixed-methods approach was designed to validate the framework. An initial scoping systematic review will be conducted to search for studies that describe criteria used to prioritise the assessment of health technologies for PHC. The relevant studies will be examined using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodological framework for scoping review studies. A comprehensive search was conducted in the following sources: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Virtual Health Library (LILACS, WHO IRIS, IBECS, PAHO-IRIS, PAHO, LIS, BRISA), Health System Evidence, Global Healths, Health Evidence and Epistemonikos from the inception until February 2025. Two review authors will screen and extract data independently. The extracted data will be qualitatively analysed and presented in a diagrammatic or tabular form, alongside a narrative summary, in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis: Extension for Scoping Reviews reporting guidelines. An iterative process online using the Delphi hybrid with stakeholders through predetermined consensus thresholds, a combination of a four-point Likert scale and open-ended questions will be conducted to select and validate the criteria identified in the scoping review.
We will provide a consolidated framework to inform decision-makers for prioritising the assessment of health technologies for the national EML for PHC. This is an important step in using evidence to inform public health policies. We plan to share findings through a variety of means, including publications in peer-reviewed journals, presentations at national conferences, invited workshops and webinars, email discussion lists affiliated with our institutions and professional associations, and academic social media.
To synthesise the available evidence on the effect of artificial intelligence in promoting positive nursing practice environments, exploring outcomes for professionals, clients, and institutions.
Artificial intelligence has undergone significant advancements and shows great potential to transform nursing practice. However, this technological evolution is not without challenges, which must be identified and addressed.
A systematic mixed-methods review following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and the methodology proposed by JBI. The search strategy was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science, including grey literature. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies were included, and the selection process involved screening by two independent reviewers, who assessed all studies, their methodological quality and extracted their data.
From the conducted search, 11 studies were included, addressing how artificial intelligence has transformed nursing practice by optimising decision-making, task execution, and patient safety. Artificial intelligence, through predictive models and assistants such as ChatGPT, can enhance nursing management. However, challenges such as privacy concerns, resistance to change, and the need for professional training must be addressed to maximise its effectiveness.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to positively transform the nursing practice environment, optimising decision-making, enhancing patient safety, and improving operational efficiency, with clear benefits for professionals, patients, and healthcare institutions.
This study analysed the impact of artificial intelligence on nursing, highlighting improvements in clinical decision-making, patient safety, and institutional efficiency. Despite the identified benefits, the implementation of artificial intelligence in nursing is not without challenges and risks, which must be identified and addressed to ensure safe and effective adoption.
The review followed the PRISMA 2020 checklist.

The perspectives of stakeholders directly affected by mental health services for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are essential for the quality of these services. However, it is crucial that these perspectives are informed by the best available evidence and adapted to the local context. This study aims to analyse barriers related to mental health services for children and adolescents with ASD from the perspective of families and caregivers, considering social, racial and gender aspects.
Three steps will be taken: stakeholder engagement through an online meeting to refine the research question and understand the magnitude of the problem; (b) qualitative evidence synthesis using five databases and grey literature to identify studies that have collected and analysed qualitative data on barriers to mental health services for children and adolescents with ASD in Brazil. Only studies conducted in Brazil that consider the perspectives of family members and caregivers will be included. (c) A citizen panel with families of children and adolescents with ASD will be used to discuss and validate the synthesis findings.
We will provide a set of evidence-informed and stakeholder-experienced barriers to mental health services for children with ASD in Brazil. This represents an effort to engage stakeholders in evidence descriptions to inform policy. We plan to disseminate the findings through various means, including peer-reviewed journal publications, presentations at national conferences, invited workshops and webinars, patient associations and academic social media platforms. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee for Research at the University of Sorocaba (approval number 78747224.7.0000.5500).

A comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing the epidemiological dynamics of COVID-19 across the pandemic waves—particularly in terms of disease severity and mortality—is critical for optimizing healthcare services and prioritizing high-risk populations. Here we aim to analyze the factors associated with short-term and prolonged hospitalization for COVID-19 during the first three pandemic waves. We conducted a retrospective observational study using data from individuals reported in the e-SUS-VS system who were hospitalized for COVID-19 in a state in a southeast state of Brazil. Hospitalization duration was classified as short or prolonged based on a 7-day cutoff, corresponding to the median length of hospital stay during the second pandemic wave. Bivariate analyses were performed using the chi-square test for heterogeneity. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and their respective 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with statistical significance set at 5%. When analyzing hospitalization duration across the three waves, we found that 51.1% (95%CI: 49.3–53) of hospitalizations in the first wave were prolonged. In contrast, short-duration hospitalizations predominated in the second (54.7%; 95% CI: 52.4–57.0) and third (51.7%; 95% CI: 50.2–53.2) waves. Factors associated with prolonged hospitalization varied by wave. During the first wave, older adults (≥60 years) (OR=1.67; 95%CI: 1.35–2.06), individuals with ≥10 symptoms (OR=2.03; 95%CI: 1.04–3.94), obese individuals (OR=2.0; 95%CI: 1.53–2.74), and those with ≥2 comorbidities (OR=2.22; 95%CI: 1.71–2.89) were more likely to experience prolonged hospitalization. In the second wave, he likelihood of extended hospital stays was higher among individuals aged ≥60 years (OR=2.04; 95%CI: 1.58–2.62) and those with ≥2 comorbidities (OR=1.77; 95%CI: 1.29–2.41). In the third wave, prolonged hospitalization was more frequent among older adults (OR=1.89; 95%CI: 1.65–2.17,), individuals with 5–9 symptoms (OR=1.52; 95%CI: 1.20–1.92), obese individuals (OR=2.2; 95%CI: 1.78–2.73), and those with comorbidities (OR=1.45; 95%CI: 1.22–1.72 and OR=2.0; 95%CI: 1.69–2.45). In conclusion, we identified variations in hospitalization patterns across the pandemic waves, although the differences were relatively subtle. These variations likely reflect gradual shifts in the risk factors associated with prolonged hospital stays. Our findings highlight t the importance of implementing targeted public health interventions, particularly those designed to reduce disease severity and improve clinical outcomes among vulnerable populations at greater risk of extended hospitalization.To identify and contextualise evidence-based strategies for implementing deprescribing practices at different levels of healthcare in Brazil, through the development of an evidence brief for policy that includes stakeholder deliberation and considers barriers, facilitators and equity aspects.
This protocol outlines the development of an evidence brief for policy using a mixed-methods design. It involves synthesising evidence for health policies by integrating global research and local evidence through three stages: stakeholder exchange, evidence brief development and external endorsement. The Supporting Policy-Relevant Reviews and Trials tools for evidence-informed health policies will guide both the synthesis of strategies and the facilitation of deliberative dialogues. The synthesis will encompass evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analysis on deprescribing strategies across healthcare levels, focusing on effectiveness, harms, costs, perceptions, barriers, facilitators and equity. Studies proposing strategies not yet implemented will be excluded. Study selection and data extraction will be conducted independently and in duplicate. The methodological quality of included studies will be assessed using the A Measurement Tool for Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews-2 criteria. Synthesised evidence will be used to develop evidence-based strategies, which will then be presented in deliberative dialogues for endorsement by stakeholders and adaptation to the Brazilian context. Endorsement rates will be classified as high, moderate or low based on predefined criteria.
This study was approved by the University of Sorocaba Research Ethics Committee (certificate 82098324.7.0000.5500). Informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

To test the clinical validity of clinical indicators and causal relationships of aetiological factors of the new nursing diagnosis of inadequate health self-efficacy in people with hypertension.
The diagnosis of inadequate health self-efficacy has both theoretical and content validity. However, a clinical validation study is needed to establish an appropriate framework for distinguishing individuals who manifest this unique human response.
The study adopts a cross-sectional clinical validation approach, adhering strictly to the STROBE guidelines throughout its design and implementation.
Naturalistic sampling was used to identify 302 adults diagnosed with hypertension. Their data were subjected to latent class analysis, which facilitated the identification of a comprehensive set of clinical indicators that demonstrated better diagnostic accuracy and established posterior probabilities to guide the inference of inadequate health self-efficacy. In addition, logistic regression analysis was used to assess the magnitude of the impact of aetiological factors.
The prevalence of inadequate health self-efficacy was 76.61%. Among the 13 indicators examined, seven demonstrated notable sensitivity: ‘risk-prone health behaviour’, ‘failure to take action that prevents health problems’, ‘inadequate self-control’, ‘avoidance behaviours’, ‘negative health self-perception’, ‘inadequate health-related quality of life’ and ‘difficulty feeling good about adopting a healthy lifestyle’. Additionally, two indicators showed high specificity: ‘difficulty feeling good about adopting a healthy lifestyle’ and ‘inadequate adherence to treatment regimen’. Notably, 15 aetiological factors were identified as significantly associated with an increased risk of inadequate health self-efficacy.
A clinical framework consisting of eight clinical indicators and 15 aetiological factors was developed to characterise inadequate health self-efficacy in individuals with hypertension.
Clinical validation provides insight into the precision of clinical indicators and the magnitude of the effect of putative causal elements, thereby facilitating identification and tailored intervention for individuals with hypertension and inadequate health self-efficacy.
Approximately 25% of the Brazilian population suffers from mental disorders, a prevalence exacerbated by systemic and cultural factors such as socioeconomic inequalities, underfunded mental health services, regional disparities, and persistent stigma. These conditions significantly impact hospital care. Nurses, due to their direct contact with these patients, face challenges ranging from managing physical conditions to handling verbal aggression and psychiatric crises. This study aimed to assess the scientific evidence regarding nursing care for hospitalized patients with psychiatric disorders.
A systematic review with a mixed-methods approach was conducted, registered in PROSPERO (#CRD42022359288) and guided by PRISMA standards. Databases, such as MEDLINE, LILACS, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and BDEnf, were searched using keywords like “Mental disorder,” “Psychiatric health,” “Nursing care,” and “Hospital.” Methodological quality was assessed using JBI and SQUIRE tools. The integration of quantitative and qualitative components occurred through meta-aggregation of qualitative data and frequency-based coding of quantitative themes, allowing thematic convergence across study designs.
Six studies were included. Meta-aggregation revealed frequent terms, such as “Nurse,” “Emergency,” “Screening,” “Patient,” and “Care.” Similarity analysis linked “Nurse” with “perception” and “experience” and “Emergency” with “Screening” and “Mental health,” highlighting the importance of experience and training. Five categories emerged: (1) professional experience (19.05%, showing skill gaps despite experience); (2) caring process (19.05%, stressing efficient screening); (3) barriers and challenges (19.05%, revealing difficulty with comorbidities); (4) training process (19.05%, identifying training deficiencies); and (5) therapeutic interventions (23.81%, discussing restraint use). These percentages refer to the proportional frequency of themes identified across the total number of studies analyzed. For thematic classification, only statistically significant chi-square values (p < 0.05) were considered in the grouping of content.
Nursing care for psychiatric patients in hospitals faces challenges like insufficient training and difficulty managing psychiatric comorbidities. Recommendations include incorporating structured mental health content into nursing curricula and hospital-based continuing education programs. These strategies may guide future healthcare policies in Brazil by improving patient safety, reducing hospital readmissions, and promoting more humane, evidence-based therapeutic interventions.
The findings emphasize the urgent need for targeted education and training to improve nursing care for psychiatric patients in hospital settings.
We aim the isolated and combined effects of sedentary behaviour exposure time and physical activity levels on muscle strength in older adults.
This prospective observational cohort study, analytical in nature, using exploratory survey methods and physical performance testing. With 5-year longitudinal follow-up (2015–2020).
A total of 459 older adults participated in the baseline, with a total of 224 being included/located again in the follow-up. We evaluate muscle strength using handgrip tests and sit-to-stand tests. The international physical activity questionnaire was used to measure physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Generalised Estimation Equations tested both independent and combined effects, reporting results as β coefficients and confidence intervals.
Older adults exhibiting low sedentary behaviour displayed enhanced handgrip strength compared to those with high sedentary behaviour. Notably, older adults who were sufficiently active with low sedentary behaviour, sufficiently active with high sedentary behaviour, and insufficiently active with low sedentary behaviour showed increased handgrip strength compared to their counterparts who were insufficiently active with high sedentary behaviour. This trend was consistent for lower limb strength.
Interventions that encourage a reduction in sedentary behaviour and an increase in physical activity are essential to maintain muscle strength among older adults.
The findings of this study underscore the importance of addressing both sedentary behaviour and physical activity levels in clinical interventions aimed at preserving muscle strength in older adults. Routine assessments of physical activity and sedentary behaviour could help tailor personalised exercise programs, potentially enhancing functional independence and reducing the risk of frailty and disability in older patients.
Patients were involved in the sample of the study.
This study was conducted in accordance with the Strengthening Research in Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines.
To test a middle-range theory (MRT) for the nursing diagnosis of ineffective breathing pattern in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) based on analysis of two general propositions.
This cross-sectional study is guided by STROBE. The propositions represent hypotheses about the relationships between the concepts of this MRT to be tested empirically, and thus, log-linear models were used to verify the structure of the proposition related to the stimuli. Diagnostic accuracy measures, univariate logistic regressions and the Mann–Whitney test were used to analyse the structure of the propositions related to behaviours.
The analysis of the propositions related to the stimuli (eight concepts, four of which were classified as focal stimuli and four as contextual stimuli) suggested a reclassification of the stimulus “deformities in the thoracic wall” which became too focal. In the analysis of the propositions related to behaviours (17 concepts, five of which were classified as acute confirmatory, nine as acute clinical deterioration and three classified as chronic), guided changes in the operationalisation of concepts were suggested after comparing clinical findings; thus, acute confirmatory behaviours now have 10 concepts, while acute clinical deterioration behaviours and chronic behaviours continued with nine and three concepts, respectively, but with reclassifications between them.
Changes in the operationalisation of the classification of the elements of the two propositions occurred after comparing the clinical findings with the theoretical model.
By establishing precise causal relationships and describing how IBP manifests itself over time in children with CHD, empirical testing of this MRT helps nurses understand clinical reasoning based on temporal logic and spectral interaction between diagnostic components, which in turn will improve the use and accuracy of nursing diagnoses.
Children and adolescents with CHD were recruited for this study sharing their clinical history and physical lung examination.
To analyse the content of the nursing diagnosis ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion in patients with diabetic foot.
A methodological study with a quantitative approach was performed.
The analysis was performed between January and May 2021 by 34 nurses with clinical/theoretical/research experience with diabetes or nursing diagnoses. These nurses evaluated the relevance, clarity and precision of 12 diagnosis-specific etiological factors, 22 clinical indicators and their conceptual and operational definitions.
All 12 etiological factors analysed were considered relevant to diagnostic identification. However, five showed inconsistencies regarding the clarity or precision of the operational definitions, requiring adjustments. Regarding the 22 clinical indicators evaluated, all of them presented a Content Validity Index (CVI) that was statistically significant. However, in the indicators, the colour does not return to lowered limb after 1 min of leg elevation, and cold foot had Content Validity Index (CVI) <0.9 regarding relevance and accuracy of operational definitions.
Twelve etiological factors and 22 clinical indicators were validated. Thus, this study revealed new and relevant aspects characterising peripheral perfusion in patients with diabetic foot that have not yet been clinically validated.
This study contributes to support the professional practice of nurses through the early identification of etiological factors and clinical indicators in persons with diabetic foot. As a proposal, we suggest the inclusion of new defining characteristics and related factors for the nursing diagnosis ineffective peripheral tissue perfusion in the NANDA-I taxonomy.
The research highlights new and relevant aspects such as etiological factors and clinical indicators to characterise peripheral perfusion in patients with diabetic foot. Based on these findings, clinical validation is recommended to confirm the relevance of the proposed elements in the population studied for greater reliability and improved diagnostic assessment for the professional practice of nurses.
