Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into health care reshapes nursing practices and education, enhancing patient care and clinical processes. This article discusses the transformative potential of AI in nursing, from streamlining documentation and diagnosis using AI applications to the evolution of nursing. The utilization of AI in primary care through automated communication strategies and the emergence of humanistic AI solutions are explored. As nurses adapt to AI-driven health-care technologies, balancing present needs with future demands becomes imperative. AI provides substantial advantages, but it’s crucial to address challenges to ensure the successful integration of technology in healthcare and maintain the delivery of high-quality patient care in our tech-driven healthcare environment.

Background: The COVID-19 global pandemic has spread throughout the world, posing an extremely dangerous health risk for almost everyone. While dealing with such a large-scale viral disease, the healthcare infrastructure is under strain. Young adults who were thought to have been clinically affected fared better than their older counterparts. This pandemic has affected millions of children, especially those from low-economic backgrounds, who are otherwise highly susceptible and underprivileged. Children of frontline workers and single parents face particular challenges. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are more vulnerable to infection and may experience long-lasting negative effects of the pandemic, such as child labor, child trafficking, child marriage, sexual exploitation, and even death. To lessen the psychological negative effects of COVID-19 on children and adolescents, parents, physicians, psychologists, social workers, and hospital administrators, government and non-governmental organizations have essential responsibilities to play. Priority one is to ensure that all children from all socioeconomic strata have access to the necessities of life, including social security, health care, and education. Moreover, some positive changes may result from the global crisis. This research paper discusses the potential consequences of this pandemic. Summary: Some of the hypotheses being investigated while looking at the low case fatality rate among pediatric age groups include the peak of immunity and differences in immune system response. The vulnerability of the comorbid pediatric age group, on the other hand, is comparable to that of their older counterparts. During the severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome outbreaks, similar results were observed. The inoculation of a mother during pregnancy was found to be effective in protecting her progeny. Results: This is a review article, thus not applicable. Conclusions: Children are quite discouraged when school is abruptly stopped, when planned outings are canceled, when they are confined to the house, and when they are afraid of the unknown with regard to the continuing epidemic. Even though almost all studies suggest that COVID-19 has a relatively mild clinical manifestation in children, one must be cautious due to the novel coronavirus’s rapid mutation rate. More research is needed to determine the relationship between COVID-19 and pediatric age groups.

The context and purpose of the study. Substance abuse is a serious public health concern that affects the millions of people worldwide. It refers to the harmful or hazardous use of psychoactive substances, including drugs and alcohol, that can lead to various health problems, such as addiction, mental health disorders, and physical illness. Alcohol, nicotine, and other illicit drugs are frequently used in excess in substance use disorders, which can impair social, academic, and professional functioning. Cannabis, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, inhalants, opioids, hallucinogens, and stimulants are the most abused drugs. Throughout human history, substance abuse has been a complex public health issue. The two main approaches frequently used to address the issue of substance abuse are risk factors and treatment modalities. They relate to the various fields of genetic inheritance, physiology, cognitive science, parents, social development, and cultural structures. One of the main issues with public health in today’s culture is drug misuse. Recently, there has been an upsurge in the prevalence of drug usage, especially opioid abuse, worldwide and in Kashmir. This review paper points to a complicated interplay between various variables that affect teenage drug usage. It also describes the different risk factors leading to substance abuse and the various behavioral therapies for substance use disorders that may enhance patient results. As a result, intensive effort across all the levels of domains will be needed to create programmes that prevent teenage substance misuse.

Abuse and neglect are major worldwide issues that can take the form of sexual, spiritual, emotional or completely failing to provide for the child’s needs. These issues can trigger serious, long-term mental harm to the child. Child abuse is a complex and dynamic life experience when a parent or caregiver causes harm or threat to a child, including acts of omission and commission. The large variability in notified prevalence and incidence across studies makes determining the true number of maltreated children difficult. Following PRISMA guidelines, databases from MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science and PubMed were used to review the literature. The terms ‘Child Abuse, Child Neglect, Impact of Child abuse, Forms of Abuse’ were used as keywords as per the Medical Subject Headings. Studies in English have always been included. Grey literature was also examined to learn more about the epidemiology and treatment of this particular issue. Child abuse and neglect of any kind leave a child with long-lasting scars, which can be physiological or emotional. Childhood exposure to violence can raise a child’s vulnerability to adverse health outcomes such as social anxiety, distress and so on, as well as make people more likely to become victimisers later in life. Preventative policies and programs must specifically address children, their guardians and the social and cultural contexts to minimise future abuse and effectively deal with instances of violence and neglect that have occurred.

In both industrialized and developing nations, childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions, causing a variety of medical disorders that raise the risk of morbidity and hasten mortality. Obesity is a serious public health issue and is a complex disorder involving biological, developmental, environmental, behavioral, and hereditary components. Numerous research investigations have been carried out to determine what linkages and risk factors enhance the likelihood that a kid may present with obesity as a result of the rise in the incidence of obesity among youngsters. The integration of diet, workouts, biological changes, and psychological variables is important in the control and prevention of childhood obesity; therefore, all researchers concur that prevention is the key strategy for controlling the current problem. However, a comprehensive view of all the health conditions linked to obesity remains a mystery. This strategy could backfire because of the psychological problems with bodily habitus that may come along with puberty. Bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and night-eating syndrome are all conditions that can develop in teens as a result of unhealthful eating behaviors. Others who overshoot their objective of “being healthy” and limit their food may develop anorexia nervosa.
