Background/Objectives: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a leading cause of cervical cancer. Despite the proven effectiveness of vaccination programs, global coverage remains uneven, with significant disparities across regions due to various socioeconomic, cultural, and political factors. This study explores the primary barriers to HPV vaccination worldwide and proposes recommendations to improve access to screening and vaccination programs. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted, analyzing studies published in the past ten years from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Embase, following the PRISMA methodology. Study selection involved multiple researchers, with discrepancies resolved through consultation. The quality of the included studies was assessed using CASP checklists. The protocol was registered on Open Science Framework (OSF). Results: Out of 2119 records, eight studies were included. The findings indicate that the main barriers to HPV vaccination include insufficient public awareness, cultural and religious resistance, financial constraints, and limited access in rural and underserved areas. Additionally, political factors, such as low prioritization of HPV vaccination and the absence of supportive policies, were identified as significant obstacles. Multidisciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration, along with the integration of HPV vaccination into existing health programs, was suggested as a strategic approach to improve vaccine uptake. Conclusions: Barriers to HPV vaccination, including limited awareness, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, and socioeconomic factors, vary across regions but must be addressed to improve global coverage. Targeted interventions such as health education, inclusive policies, and culturally sensitive campaigns can significantly boost vaccine uptake. Strengthening local health systems and fostering international collaboration are key strategies to overcoming these barriers and ensuring equitable access to HPV vaccination.

Introduction: Moral injury involves the adverse psychological, biological, spiritual, behavioural, and social consequences of actions that violate moral values. It can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Nurses, who often face ethical dilemmas, are particularly vulnerable. Despite its significance, the relationship between moral injury and mental health outcomes in nurses remains underexplored. Aim: This systematic review aimed to describe the associations among moral injury, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in nurses. Methods: The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023438731) and was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was performed in December 2023 across PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science. Peer-reviewed primary research involving nurses, published in English or Italian, without time restrictions, was considered eligible. The risk of bias and the quality of evidence were assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist and the GRADE approach. Results: Out of 4730 articles identified, eight met the inclusion criteria. The analysis revealed significant positive associations between moral injury, anxiety, and depression, along with a significant negative association with quality of life. Conclusion: These findings highlight the need for healthcare systems to implement strategies that mitigate moral injury among nurses. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies to explore causal relationships and develop targeted interventions. Additionally, standardizing the concept and measurements of moral injury is crucial for enhancing the comparability and understanding of this phenomenon.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health challenge, and effective, individualized nutritional management is crucial for slowing progression and improving quality of life. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers innovative tools to optimize and personalize nutritional care. This review explores AI applications in nutritional management, assessing their impact on clinical outcomes, quality of life, and care efficiency. A systematic review was conducted, reported according to PRISMA guidelines. Searches were performed on five databases, namely: Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL and integrated with grey literature sources between September and November 2024. The methodological quality assessment was conducted independently by two researchers using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Of 2,053 initial records, seven studies met inclusion criteria. AI showed significant potential in personalizing dietary recommendations using machine learning (ML), clinical decision support systems (CDSS), and generative AI tools. These systems tailored nutritional advice based on patient-specific clinical data, reducing complications like hyperkalemia and improving adherence. AI also facilitated early risk detection and proactive care by monitoring nutritional parameters and predicting complications. Additionally, AI-powered platforms enhanced patient education through culturally relevant, intuitive dietary plans and multilingual materials, increasing engagement. AI also improved healthcare efficiency by automating tasks and integrating with electronic health records (EHRs). AI technologies show promise in enhancing nutritional care for CKD patients. Evidence supports their role in improving care quality and dietary adherence. Further research is needed to validate these technologies in clinical practice and ensure integration into routine care pathways.
