Nowadays, humanized care is an essential component in the field of health because the professional work of nursing seeks to provide quality services to patients who are suffering and fear illness or the dying process. Nurses recognize the need to incorporate humanized care into their daily work, as supported by Jean Watson, who states that caring entails establishing an adequate nurse–patient therapeutic relationship, where health education is a tool that promotes self-care in the patient, family, and community. The main objective of this work was to find scientific evidence on humanized care from the perspectives of nurses and hospitalized patients. To meet those research objectives, an exploratory systematic review of articles published in high-quality scientific journals from 2016 to 2020 using the PRISMA methodology in the Scopus and Scielo databases was conducted, yielding 26 studies that were analyzed. The findings show that nurses and patients perceive the need to remove the barriers that limit the advancement of humanized care in hospital institutions because they urgently demand that health professionals in all settings, especially critical ones, strengthen their humanizing role by sharing cordial, empathetic health experiences, and respecting their customs and beliefs during the hospitalization process. As a conclusion of the findings, the nurse–patient professionals agree that health personnel training is critical to providing humanized attention with quality in the hospital context, emphasizing that professional training should develop in practice soft skills, communication, safety environment, and human values.

El propósito de esta investigación fue identificar los diferentes tipos de justificación presentes en la redacción científica, utilizando como fuentes de información la disponible en textos académicos especializados de corte universitario. El estudio propuso como pregunta de investigación: ¿cuáles son los tipos de justificación en el campo de la investigación científica? A través de una investigación de enfoque cualitativo, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica que abarcó 22 textos de metodología de la investigación científica utilizados en Latinoamérica. Los resultados mostraron que la literatura consultada carece de precisión sobre cómo fundamentar la justificación de una investigación, ya que 9 de ellos no identifican los tipos existentes, mientras que los 13 textos restantes no ofrecen un consenso general, pues cada uno provee diferentes apreciaciones sobre los tipos de justificación en la investigación. Se logró identificar los siguientes tipos de justificación en la investigación científica: teórica, práctica, metodológica, social, por conveniencia, económica y técnica; por último, este manuscrito propone la inclusión de un nuevo tipo de justificación: la doctrinaria.

Background: Effective communication in healthcare is essential for ensuring teamwork that is continuous, effective, and efficient. It plays a crucial role in supporting comprehensive and holistic care for patients while also guaranteeing the safety and satisfaction of the services provided. Objective: To determine the relationship between effective communication (as well as its dimensions: transmission of institutional culture, source of employee motivation, and facilitation of teamwork and conflict resolution) and teamwork among nurses in a national hospital in Peru. Methods: The research employed a quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional approach with a non-experimental design. The study population consisted of 328 nurses working in various hospital departments between January and October 2024. Data were collected using two questionnaires: The first assessed effective communication through three dimensions: transmission of institutional culture, source of employee motivation, and facilitation of teamwork and conflict resolution. The second instrument evaluated teamwork across three dimensions: institutional context, composition, and process. Results: A very strong positive correlation was observed between effective communication and teamwork among nurses, with a coefficient of 0.925 and a p value < 0.01. Conclusions: The study found a strong link between effective communication and teamwork among nurses. It underscores the role of communication, organizational culture, and motivation in strengthening teamwork, which enhances patient care and healthcare delivery. The findings highlight the impact of institutional culture, motivation, and conflict resolution, emphasizing soft skills and ethical behavior in improving team dynamics and organizational strategies.

Information and communication technologies have generated transformations in the behaviour of digital native university students, which affect the teaching-learning process in the scenario of the Covid-19 pandemic. The objective of this study was to systematize the scientific evidence on university teaching strategies related to the behaviour of digital natives and the characteristics of their learning. The method employed was a systematic review of scientific articles from the EbscoHost, Scopus, Proquest, Eric and Scielo databases through the Boolean operators AND and OR. Initially, 51 638 records were obtained, of which only 26 met the inclusion criteria (years of publication, language, subject matter, free availability). The results show in the articles that most digital natives actively use social networks on a daily basis, while others conduct research or produce digital content with varying degrees of difficulty, some adapt quickly to new innovations related to technology, and many easily multitask and perform self-regulated learning, while demanding a more flexible teaching where learning is fast and practical. However, the attention of digital natives is dissipated by other interests such as social networks (generating cyber laziness), a situation that can lead to antisocial behaviour and self-exclusion from physical reality (phubbing). In conclusion, digital natives require greater attention from their university teachers, who must innovate in the teaching-learning process using the virtual environment, raising the interest of digital natives, to generate an autonomous learning where they can strengthen their skills and competencies for the achievement of their professional development.

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has had diverse effects on the population and businesses. Due to their low visibility, there is a significant knowledge gap for the scientific community regarding the situation of South American entrepreneurship during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this systematic review aims to answer the following research questions: What scientific evidence is available on entrepreneurship in South America during the COVID-19 pandemic? From which countries do the studies originate? What conclusions do they present, and what lessons can be learned from them? The Scopus and Scielo databases were explored in this systematic review. Due to the diversity of languages in which articles from this region are published, searches were conducted in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. In each case, we searched for results containing the words COVID-19 and entrepreneurship (emprendimiento in Spanish, empreendedorismo in Portuguese) in the title, abstract, or keywords. The initial search produced 783 records, which were filtered based on seven criteria, resulting in 15 articles. The final articles identified had corresponding authors affiliated with South American institutions. We conclude that, in South America, some entrepreneurs recognize the importance of maintaining the economic stability of their employees and communities in addition to sustaining their businesses. Their actions serve as case studies of resilience and perseverance in adverse circumstances.

The mental health of college students has been the source of research, projects, and public policies involving education, health, and psychology professionals. Having as its axis the study of mental health and the phenomenon of psychological illness, this systematic review aims to characterize mental health programs directed to college students, as well as the forms of interventions offered to reduce the incidence of psychological disorders. From the proposal, a survey was conducted in the databases Scopus, Lilacs, and the repository Alicia, in the period between 2010 and 2021, choosing the search phrase “Programas de saúde mental para universitários” in Portuguese, “Mental health projects for university students” in English, and “Proyectos en salud mental para estudiantes universitarios” in Spanish. The research areas spanned humanities and social sciences, with peer-reviewed and open access articles. The questions that instigated the study were as follows: What are the mental health problems affecting college students? What type of strategy has been adopted to map the demands of university students in relation to mental illness? How can the university space reorganize itself to work on interventional-preventive aspects, according to the studies? Initially, 740 203 articles were obtained, and after sifting through 13 productions, using the PRISMA systematization. Despite several research interrelating mental health and university space, most were dedicated to data collection, using questionnaires, inventories, and scales, standardized and non-standardized. Only three studies described intervention projects and programs to reduce the problems of psychological distress in college students. Unanimously, the investigations emphasize the need for monitoring the higher education population regarding mental health and, in parallel, the implementation of institutional public policies to meet the students' demands and reduce the rates of problems in the educational field.
