Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and methodologies for problem solving are emerging as formal tools essential to assist in nursing care. Given their potential to improve workflows and to guide decision making, several studies have been developed; however, little is known about their impact, particularly on decision making. Objective: The aim of this study was to map the existing research on the use of AI in decision making in nursing. With this review protocol, we aimed to map the existing research on the use of AI in nursing decision making. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the framework proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The search strategy was tailored to each database/repository to identify relevant studies. The contained articles were the targets of the data extraction, which was conducted by two independent researchers. In the event of discrepancies, a third researcher was consulted. Results: This review included quantitative, qualitative and mixed method studies. Primary studies, systematic reviews, dissertations, opinion texts and gray literature were considered according to the three steps that the JBI has defined for scoping reviews. Conclusions: This scoping review synthesized knowledge that could help advance new scientific developments and find significant and valuable outcomes for patients, caregivers and leaders in decision making. This review was also intended to encourage the development of research lines that may be useful for the development of AI tools for decision making.

Recognizing the complexity of decision‐making is essential in nursing practice, where Artificial Intelligence (AI) can serve as a valuable tool to support nurses in the process of decision‐making. This scoping review aims to map and systematize evidence regarding AI's contributions to nursing decision‐making, following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodological approach. Databases consulted: CINAHL Complete; MEDLINE Complete; Nursing & Allied Health Collection: Comprehensive; Cochrane Databases; MedicLatina; SciELO; Scopus; LILACS; JBI Database of Systematic Reviews and RCAAP. Thirteen studies in English, Portuguese, and Spanish were included. AI can support the nursing decision‐making process by improving diagnostic accuracy and workflows. However, interpretability remains a limiting factor that affects the adoption of AI. Although critical healthcare units represent the primary areas of application, meeting the ethical, legal, and technical requirements necessary for effective integration into practice continues to be a challenge. AI offers meaningful contributions to nursing decision‐making, particularly through explainable and clinically aligned systems. However, successful integration demands transparency, ethics, and usability, with further studies to ensure safe adoption.

En San Tomé e Príncipe, os cambios nos estilos de vida e os patróns de consumo provocaron un aumento das importacións e a comercialización dunha ampla variedade de produtos envasados, o que levou a un aumento na produción de residuos sólidos urbanos (RSU). Ao ser un país insular, a xestión de residuos foi un problema engadido. Por iso adquiren maior urxencia os proxectos de educación ambiental, que fomentan a redución, reutilización e separación en orixe. Con este estudo pretendemos coñecer os usos que os visitantes da Papeleira de Reciclaxe fan dos residuos recolleitos e a importancia económica desta actividade para as familias, para concienciar aos diferentes axentes relacionados coa xestión dos RSU da importancia da prevención e redución da produción de residuos. Aplicouse un cuestionario aos visitantes da Papeleira de Reciclaxe e realizouse unha entrevista aos representantes das Cámaras Distritales de *Água-Grande e Mé-Zochi. Realizouse unha acción para concienciar aos nenos que asistían á escola máis próxima. Os resultados mostran que existe unha percepción xeneralizada das consecuencias nocivas do manexo directo e o non tratamento dos RSU, pero perpetúan a súa recolección por razóns económicas e pola falta de aplicación de regras de manexo máis restritivas.

Descrever o nível de e-literacia em saúde, de um grupo alunos do ensino secundário, de uma região a norte de Portugal e correlacionar as variáveis sociodemográficas e contextuais com o nível de e-literacia em saúde dos alunos. Estudo quantitativo, descritivo, correlacional e transversal, com amostragem por conveniência (n=1060 alunos do ensino secundário). A colheita de dados decorreu por questionário. Foi realizada análise estatística descritiva e inferencial, através do software IBM SPSS 25. Os alunos manifestaram bons níveis de e-literacia em saúde. A dimensão de “pesquisa de informação” obteve valores superiores aos da dimensão de “utilização da informação” encontrada (3,49 e 3,41 respectivamente). Os rapazes detêm mais e-literacia em saúde (3,61 pontos). Os alunos fazem pesquisa na internet sobre saúde, mas não confiam na informação obtida, cabe aos profissionais de saúde orientar e validar os sites utilizados. Descritores: Alfabetização, Saúde do Estudante, Enfermagem. Level of health e-literacy in secondary school students : To describe the level of e-literacy in health, of a group of secondary school students, from a region in the north of Portugal and to correlate the sociodemographic and contextual variables with the level of e-literacy in health of students. Quantitative, descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. Convenience sampling (n = 1060 secondary school students). Data collection by questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis using IBM SPSS 25 software. The students showed good levels of e-literacy in health. The “information search” dimension had higher values than the “information use” dimension found (3.49 and 3.41). Boys retain more e-literacy in health (3.61 points). Students do research on the Internet about health, but do not trust the information obtained, it is up to health professionals to guide and validate the sites used.
