Background: Violence against healthcare professionals is a growing public health concern. In Spain, the National Observatory of Aggressions recorded 16,866 cases in 2024, marking a 103.06% increase since 2017. This phenomenon has intensified in recent years, with serious repercussions for both the physical and psychological well-being of healthcare workers, as well as for the quality of care provided. Objectives: This descriptive study examines the knowledge, perceptions, and experiences of workplace aggression among undergraduate students at the University School of Nursing of the Nuestra Señora de Candelaria University Hospital. Materials and Methods: A self-administered ad hoc questionnaire was distributed to 266 students across all academic years to assess their knowledge and to explore their perceptions and experiences of aggression witnessed or experienced during clinical placements. This study was guided by the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Results: The findings revealed significant educational gaps among students regarding how to manage aggressive situations, as well as high levels of concern and an aggression exposure rate exceeding 30%. A statistically significant association was also observed in relation to the academic year. Conclusions: This study provides a foundation for the development of specific training programmes tailored to the needs identified and for enhancing occupational safety in healthcare settings.

Background: Violence against healthcare professionals constitutes a global and persistent problem, with significant consequences for professionals’ physical and mental health, organisational climate, and the quality of care provided to patients. Objective: To evaluate the impact of a training activity on the prevention and management of aggression in healthcare settings among fourth-year undergraduate nursing students. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at the Nuestra Señora de Candelaria School of Nursing, University of La Laguna. An intervention study with a quasi-experimental design without a control group was conducted through the implementation of a training workshop. A pre- and post-intervention questionnaire was administered to a sample of 59 fourth-year nursing students. In addition, two questionnaires were distributed at the end of the session to assess satisfaction with the training received and students’ self-perceived acquisition of knowledge. This research complied with the TREND statement. Results: Descriptive analysis showed higher post-test scores than pre-test scores. The Wilcoxon test indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. Mean knowledge scores increased from 3.16 to 7.58 following the intervention, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) and a very large effect size (r = 0.87). Conclusions: The training workshop was associated with a significant immediate improvement in knowledge, high levels of satisfaction, and enhanced self-perceived learning.

Background: Major Ambulatory Surgery is an increasingly common care model, but evidence on nurses’ specific organizational roles remains limited. Objectives: To identify and map evidence on nursing roles in the organization, management, and optimization of MAS units. Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Embase, MEDLINE ALL (Ovid), CINAHL Complete, and Web of Science Core Collection were searched on 30–31 July 2025. Following an exploratory phase, the eligibility period was set from January 2000 to July 2025. Observational, qualitative, interventional, and review studies published in English or Spanish were included. Results: Of 922 records identified, 18 sources were included: 16 primary studies and two literature reviews, the latter analyzed separately as contextual evidence. The primary studies most frequently documented nursing roles in preoperative assessment, patient education, discharge preparation, postoperative follow-up, continuity of care, and care-process coordination. Six primary studies measured a service-level indicator (day-of-surgery cancellations, waiting times, or theatre utilization), all with uncontrolled before-after or descriptive designs; only one study addressed management, staffing, leadership, or organizational planning. Direct evidence on managerial, strategic, and organizational-planning roles was scarce. Conclusions: The central finding is the scarcity of evidence on nurses’ managerial, strategic, and organizational-planning roles, in contrast with the well-documented roles in preoperative assessment, patient education, postoperative follow-up, and care coordination. Because methodological quality was not appraised, the findings do not establish the effectiveness or comparative superiority of specific nursing models. Future research should define and evaluate nursing competencies and organizational models in MAS using robust comparative, qualitative, and mixed-methods designs.
