Introduction: Nurse‐to‐nurse horizontal violence is a highly prevalent issue in healthcare, significantly affecting nurses' well‐being, job satisfaction and professional performance. Despite its widespread occurrence, it remains largely invisible due to organisational culture, normalisation and underreporting. Recognising and addressing this phenomenon is a priority to improve workplace environments and safeguard both nurses and patient care.Aim: The aim was to synthesise the existing evidence on the main predisposing factors of nurse‐to‐nurse horizontal violence in a hospital setting.Design: An integrative review.Data Source: Four databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science.Methods: This integrative review followed Whittemore and Knafl's approach and was reported according to SWiM checklist. Database searches occurred from September 2022 to February 2023, including studies published between 2013 and 2023. Articles were screened by title, abstract and full text based on set criteria. Additional articles were identified through backward citation searching. Quality was appraised using Joanna Briggs instruments, and a narrative synthesis summarised the findings.Results: Fifteen articles were reviewed, focusing on nurse‐to‐nurse horizontal violence. Most studies used the Revised Negative Acts Questionnaire and were rated as ‘good quality’. The predisposing factors identified were grouped into three categories: organisational, professional and work related.Conclusion: The findings highlight that the predisposing factors of nurse‐to‐nurse horizontal violence are multidimensional and interrelated. Addressing this issue requires a comprehensive and coordinated approach that strengthens leadership and implements standardised early detection and measurement tools to develop effective preventive strategies.Implications for the Professional Practice and Patient Care: Horizontal violence promotes disruptive work environments. Management‐related issues, professional hierarchies and unhealthy working conditions contribute to its occurrence. Therefore, strengthening leadership, promoting peer support and improving work environments are key to mitigating its impact and enhancing nurse well‐being and care quality.Trial Registration: PROSPERO: CRD42023396684

Menstruation remains surrounded by taboo and symbolic violence for many adolescents and young women today, and it is urgent to identify existing stereotypes. The objective was to validate a Spanish-language instrument to assess perceptions, false beliefs, gender stereotypes, fears, and taboos surrounding menstruation in nursing women’s studies. A cross-sectional study for psychometric validation of the METCON© scale (22 item version) was assessed in a cohort of 401 female nursing university students (2016–2019), assessing the psychometric properties in terms of internal consistency and structural validity. Furthermore, an invariance analysis was conducted to discern structural disparities before and after studying the subject of gender and health. The METCON© scale showed acceptable internal consistency scores measured by Cronbach’s alpha. Exploratory factor analysis indicated a structure of six factors which explained 60.50% of the total variance with a total of 19 items. Reliability analysis indicated adequate internal consistency (α = 0.613). Confirmatory factor analysis showed adequate values, confirming this structure. The invariance analyses identified that the structure remained adequate when evaluated before and after studying the subject of gender and health. Once validated, this instrument could serve as a valid and reliable tool for comprehensively examining perceptions, beliefs, and myths surrounding menstruation, addressing not only biological but also social and cultural aspects.

Objetivo: diseñar y validar un instrumento específico para valorar los mitos, estereotipos, tabúes y conocimientos sobre la menstruación. Diseño: estudio instrumental en el que se diseñó y validó un cuestionario. Emplazamiento: Facultad de Enfermería, Fisioterapia y Podología de la Universidad de Sevilla. Participantes: 182 estudiantes. Intervenciones: índice de Osterlind, alfa de Cronbach, prueba KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin), test de esfericidad de Bartlett y método Varimax con normalización Kaiser. Mediciones principales: mitos, estereotipos, tabúes y conocimientos sobre la menstruación. Resultados: Se han realizado tres análisis factoriales, obteniendo un valor de convergencia general que explica el 67.978 % de la varianza total y fiabilidad global de .72422 ítems con 22 ítems y una validez de constructo que demuestra la existencia de 4 dimensiones con .653 en la prueba KMO y 777.53 en el índice de esfericidad de Barlett (p .50). Conclusiones: se ha obtenido una herramienta útil y válida para evaluar los mitos, estereotipos, tabúes y conocimientos sobre la menstruación que permita un manejo adecuado de la misma en consultas de Atención Primaria y/o en el entorno escolar.

The objective of this study was to culturally adapt the Thriving of Older People Assessment Scale (TOPAS) instrument and evaluate its psychometric properties. The study was carried out in two phases: cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric validation and refinement through a cross-sectional study conducted between 2018 and 2020 with 314 participants. The refinement resulted in an abbreviated version of TOPAS, maintaining the original 5 factors with 16 items. Cronbach alpha was 0.91. Composite reliability (0.72-0.89) and average variance extracted (0.57-0.81), supporting discriminant validity. Maximum shared variance for the factors (0.22-0.50) and average shared variance (0.16-0.31), demonstrating discriminant validity. The abbreviated version of TOPAS showed evidence of being a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the adaptability of elderly residents in institutions. Implementing this instrument in Spanish nursing homes allows for a continuous evaluation of residents' well-being in relation to their environment, a construct not previously assessed with available scales.

El capítulo presenta un CIMA implementado en la asignatura Enfermería del Envejecimiento. Aborda el cuidado y valoración de personas mayores, integrando teoría y práctica mediante simulaciones clínicas y análisis de casos, fomentando la reflexión crítica y el trabajo colaborativo.
