The purpose of this study was to synthesize the available empirical evidence on prelicensure nursing students’ medication errors. A systematic literature review of original research publications was carried out. After the selection process, only 19 articles complied with all the requirements for inclusion in this review. The findings showed that few studies to date have analyzed errors and near misses involving nursing students, and the current evidence suggests that the incidence of them is high.

To explore the perceptions of a group of women who underwent female genital mutilation on the impact of this practice on their sexual and reproductive health. We performed a phenomenological qualitative study in a sample of 9 sub-Saharan Africa women, whose mean age was 30 years old and who had lived in Spain for 1 to 14 years. These women underwent genital mutilation in their countries of origin. Data was collected using a socio-demographic survey and an in-depth, structured personal interview. Subsequently, we performed a thematic discourse analysis. The discourses were grouped into four categories related to participants' perceptions of female genital mutilation. These categories were intimate relationships, pregnancy, childbirth, and social impact. The practice of female genital mutilation is maintained due to social and family pressure, transmitted from generation to generation and silenced by women themselves. This practice affects their sexual and reproductive health, as demonstrated by anorgasmia and dyspareunia. The women were satisfied with the healthcare received during pregnancy and childbirth. Nevertheless, most of them were not satisfied with family planning.

El aumento de la cronicidad de las enfermedades y de las personas dependientes como consecuencia del envejecimiento de la población es un hecho demostrado, como también lo es que las mujeres son las principales implicadas en el cuidado familiar. Por ello, el objetivo del estudio es visibilizar cómo la función del cuidado familiar queda adscrita a las mujeres como parte de un rol de género motivado por un sentimiento de obligación naturalizado por parte de las mujeres a la hora de cuidar. Se trata de investigación cualitativa basada en la teoría fundamentada de tipo descriptivo. La muestra está constituida por nueve participantes a las que se les sometió a una entrevista semiestructurada. Además a las participantes se les entregó una ficha explicativa del estudio y una hoja de consentimiento informado. Los resultados obtenido tras el análisis de los datos surgieren seis categorías: “posibilidades de división del cuidado en el núcleo familiar cercano”, “toma de decisión”, “falsa sensación de ayuda y fragmentación efectiva del cuidado”, “el cuidado por parte de la mujer entendido como algo natural”, “cuidado entendido como obligación moral” y “la ayuda en femenino a una responsabilidad asumida como femenina”. La conclusión principal del artículo es que la responsabilidad de ser cuidadora principal recae principalmente sobre mujeres y cómo la decisión se enmascara sobre un falso consenso.

Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a practice, in breach of human rights, which currently extends to European countries. Given that migration to a Western country can involve cultural change, the aim of the present study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of sub-Saharan women regarding FGM/C following migration to Spain. A qualitative exploratory research design utilizing life history methodology was applied. Participants (n = 24) were recruited until data saturation was reached. Sub-Saharan women describe their experience of FGM/C. Once in Spain, they begin to demystify the justifications for which FGM/C is practiced and to break the taboo that surrounds the practice. Migration leads individuals to reflect on the traditional practices from their countries of origin. The nursing profession must accompany migrant women throughout their process of change and provide objective information from a position of cultural understanding, avoiding attitudes that might create a sense of revictimization while their resultant health consequences are being attended to.

(1) Background: Bullying is a worldwide public health problem, with short- and long-term physical, mental, and socio-economic implications for all involved, including consequences as serious as suicide. (2) Objective: The aim of this study is to compile data on nursing interventions for preventing and addressing bullying at the international level. (3) Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the guidelines laid out in the PRISMA statement. The search included papers written in Spanish, English, and Portuguese over the previous five years from the following databases: Web of Science, CUIDEN, CINHAL, BDENF, Cochrane, Lilacs, and PubMed. The following descriptors were used: “Acoso escolar AND Enfermería”, “Bullying AND Nursing” and “Intimidação AND Enferma-gem”. Due to the heterogeneity in the methodology of the studies, a narrative synthesis of the results is provided. (4) The synthesis of results shows nurses’ involvement in tackling and preventing bullying. Interventions are categorised into awareness raising; coping mechanisms; and approach/care, nursing skills in the face of bullying, and the role of the family in the face of bullying. (5) Conclusions: It is clear that at the international level, nursing is involved in planning and developing autonomous and interdisciplinary interventions to address and prevent bullying. The evidence paves the way for school nurses and family and community nurses to take steps to tackle this phenomenon.
