Drug-resistant (DR) tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are intersecting epidemics that complicate management of both diseases and worsen patient outcomes. We conducted a prospective cohort study of 758 GeneXpert-confirmed pulmonary TB patients, of whom 75 had DM. Demographic, clinical, radiographic, and anthropometric data were collected at baseline. Sputum samples were cultured for mycobacterial isolation, and the obtained isolates were characterized for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) lineage and drug-susceptibility testing using spoligotyping and microplate alamar blue assay. The TB-diabetes (TB-DM) comorbid cohort was older [TB-DM: 53/75 (70.7%) vs. 241/683 (35.3%) aged 41–60 years) (pRecently, legal questions have increasingly arisen in intensive care medicine (ICM), especially when it comes to end-of-life decisions. Still, for Europe, there is not much evidence about doctors’ situational legal knowledge and legal education during medical studies and further qualification. The present study was initiated to analyse these hitherto unexplored aspects in Germany.
A quantitative online survey has been performed among German intensive care physicians. The voluntary participants of the anonymous online survey were asked to answer legal questions related to end-of-life policies, informed consent, surrogate decision making or advance directives. We tested pure factual knowledge in five questions. The other five questions tested situational knowledge using case vignettes. Every question could be answered with ‘yes’, ‘no’ or ‘do not know’. Furthermore, the participants were asked to assess their subjective certainty on a Likert scale and to provide information about their professional experience (PE) and qualification.
All members of the two German professional societies for anaesthesiology who work in ICM were asked to take part in the survey.
952 completed questionnaires were analysed. 86% of the participants were specialists, and 56% held the additional qualification in ICM. 78% had more than 10 years of general clinical experience, and 62% had more than 5 years of experience in ICM.
On average, the participants answered the five facts–questions in 90.8% correctly. However, only 73.6% of the five case vignettes were answered correctly. Specialists, physicians with a lot of PE or physicians holding the additional qualification in ICM did not perform better than assistants or physicians with little PE.
German intensive care physicians have relevant gaps regarding situational legal knowledge, which are independent of their PE or qualification and persist. This may be due to difficulties in interpretation and implementation of law. Since these knowledge gaps can lead to liability and criminal prosecution, these gaps should be closed through awareness-raising and continuous education.
The article describes the outcomes of a single-centre investigation on the use of OZOILE to improve the healing process in patients with chronic diabetic ulcers. This is a non-randomised interventional study which aims to assess the differences between two groups (total 200 patients) by evaluating healing time at 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days. Pain assessment with VAS scale at 15, 30 and 45 days, biofilm test and tissue regeneration by histological evaluation were also taken into consideration. The outcomes show faster healing, reduced pain, control of local infection, aesthetically pleasing and qualitatively better healing. Our treatment strategy involves applying OZOILE detergent without rinsing, Ozoile spray oil and Ozoile cream followed by a non-adherent dressing (paraffin gauze). This integrated protocol shows a safe and effective treatment for diabetic chronic wound healing in a cost-effective manner. The group treated with the Rigenoma/Ozoile protocol demonstrated significantly superior outcomes compared to the control group, including accelerated healing, reduced pain levels, effective management of unpleasant odour, and high levels of compliance from both patients and surgeons. Overall, Ozoile markedly reduced healing time compared with standard care, with results robust across multiple analytical approaches.

Resistance of carrot to Alternaria leaf blight (ALB) caused by Alternaria dauci is a complex and quantitative trait. Numerous QTL for resistance (rQTLs) to ALB have been identified but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Some rQTLs have been recently proposed to be linked to the flavonoid content of carrot leaves. In this study, we performed a metabolic QTL analysis and shed light on the potential mechanisms underlying the most significant rQTL, located on carrot chromosome 6 and accounting for a large proportion of the resistance variation. The flavonoids apigenin 7-O-rutinoside, chrysoeriol 7-O-rutinoside and luteolin 7-O-rutinoside were identified as strongly correlated with resistance. The combination of genetic, metabolomic and transcriptomic approaches led to the identification of a gene encoding a bHLH162-like transcription factor, which may be responsible for the accumulation of these rutinosylated flavonoids. Transgenic expression of this bHLH transcription factor led to an over-accumulation of flavonoids in carrot calli, together with significant increase in the antifungal properties of the corresponding calli extracts. Altogether, the bHLH162-like transcription factor identified in this work is a strong candidate for explaining the flavonoid-based resistance to ALB in carrot.To develop precision health (PH) competencies and evaluate their comprehensiveness and fit into nursing practice.
A modified e-Delphi technique was used to gather perceptions and achieve consensus on the inaugural set of PH domains, competency statements and sub-competencies developed by a workgroup formed under the aegis of the American Nurses Association (ANA).
A set of PH competencies and sub-competencies was developed by the ANA workgroup, beginning with a literature review, followed by a multi-step work process of the group over 3 years (2022–2025). Then, a modified e-Delphi technique was conducted via a four-point Likert scale Qualtrics survey, using a purposive sample of PH experts. The respondents were asked to agree or disagree with each competency or sub-competency statement and suggest modifications. The threshold of concordance was set at 80%.
The ANA workgroup reached consensus on six domains, six competency statements and 43 sub-competency statements to represent PH in nursing practice in its entirety. Forty experts in the field evaluated and offered revisions to the final 44 sub-competencies that represent the knowledge and skills necessary for PH in general nursing practice. A majority of the competency statements obtained favourable agreement from the expert panel, and a typical pattern of convergence was observed over two rounds of evaluation.
The development of PH competencies is the essential first step in the attempt to integrate PH into nursing practice.
The competency statements will inform nursing curricula, clinical practice guidelines, funding opportunities and role expectations in all healthcare settings.
This work sets the stage for subsequent interprofessional practice initiatives and research exploring how these competencies influence patient outcomes, workforce readiness and the practical integration of advanced technologies into precise care.
Although healthcare infrastructure has improved in recent years, the preoperative journey of patients is often accompanied by anxiety. Allowing patients to walk to the operating theatre is a simple, yet underexplored strategy that may enhance their sense of autonomy and reduce anxiety. As patient-centred care gains importance, evaluating the effects of this approach on patient-reported outcomes may be more relevant than widely assumed.
In this scoping review, we aim to analyse the published literature on preoperative walking into the operating theatre and patient-reported outcomes, such as anxiety and satisfaction.
This study was a scoping review that followed the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, Scoping Review extension guidelines.
Inclusion criteria were adult patients undergoing elective surgery and walking to the operating theatre. Data were extracted using a standardised form, and critical appraisal was performed by using ROBINS-I V2.0, RoB2 and ROB-E tools.
Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane databases (OVID) and CINAHL (EBSCOhost) were searched up to 31st January 2025.
Our search identified 958 articles, with seven trials included in the final analysis. The studies, published between 1994 and 2022, involved 3001 patients from North America, Asia and Europe. The interventions varied, but most patients reported improved satisfaction and reduced anxiety when walking to the operating theatre. No adverse events were reported, although patient preferences varied, with younger patients more likely to prefer walking.
Walking to the theatre positively impacts patient satisfaction and autonomy. However, patient selection is key, as not all individuals are physically or mentally prepared for walking. Future research could explore unaccompanied walking and its effects on hospital resource utilisation. Preoperative walking is a beneficial intervention that enhances patient satisfaction and reduces anxiety, providing a feasible alternative to bed transport for many elective surgical patients.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative, progressive disorder known for motor and non-motor symptoms. The vestibular system, via the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), is crucial for maintaining dynamic gaze stability, and its role in PD is raising interest among researchers. Indeed, vestibular dysfunction in PD may exacerbate postural instability and gait disturbances; however, the prevalence of vestibular dysfunctions remains unclear. This study aims to objectively investigate the VOR function in people with PD using the video head impulse test.
This is a cross-sectional study conducted in a neurorehabilitation hospital. People with PD were included if they had no cognitive impairment and the ability to walk without physical assistance. The video head impulse test was used to assess the VOR function across all six semicircular canals, using both the Head Impulse Paradigm (HIMP) and the Suppression Head Impulse Paradigm (SHIMP) paradigms.
35 people with PD (mean age: 69.9±8.4; 11 females) with moderate motor symptoms (MDS-UPDRS-part III: 27.7±6.8) were included. Using normative cut-offs, 69% of the participants had at least one dysfunctional canal (60% hypo-gain, 9% hyper-gain). The prevalence reached 83% when both the HIMP and SHIMP paradigms were considered.
There is a high prevalence of vestibular dysfunction in people with PD. The instrumental assessment of VOR gains could reveal undiagnosed vestibular dysfunctions and, in the future, lead to more specific rehabilitation management of people with PD.
Introducción: La motivación cumple un rol fundamental sobre todo en el desempeño laboral del profesional de Enfermería. Esta motivación representa un factor protector tanto para el profesional de Enfermería como también al paciente que se encuentra a su cuidado. Se objetivó analizar la relación existente entre factores motivacionales y desempeño laboral del profesional de Enfermería quienes ejercen funciones en dos hospitales del departamento Central 2023. Metodología. Estudio observacional descriptivo transversal realizado en dos centros asistenciales de referencia nacional, de alta complejidad de la República del Paraguay, muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. El instrumento, un cuestionario pre-elaborado y validado. Resultados. Respeto al desempeño laboral, predominó el nivel alto. En referencia a las dimensiones del desempeño laboral, ha predominado mayoritariamente el nivel alto, no registrándose ningún participante en el nivel bajo. Al relacionar los factores motivacionales con el desempeño laboral, se encontró asociación estadísticamente significativa, con lo que se acepta la hipótesis de investigación que indica que existe asociación entre factores motivacionales y el desempeño laboral de profesionales de enfermería. Discusión. Al relacionar los factores motivacionales con el desempeño laboral, se observó una asociación estadísticamente significativa. Esto se respalda en un estudio realizado en Perú, cuyos resultados sugieren que el desempeño laboral de los profesionales de enfermería estaría influenciado por la dependencia de factores motivacionales extrínsecos. Conclusión: Se recomienda fortalecer programas de reconocimiento y mejora de condiciones laborales para estimular la motivación extrínseca, como implementar oportunidades de desarrollo profesional y participación en la toma de decisiones.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Motivation plays a fundamental role, especially in the work performance of nursing professionals. This motivation represents a protective factor for both the nursing professional and the patient under their care. The objective was to analyze the existing relationship between motivational factors and work performance of nursing professionals who work in two hospitals in the Central department 2023. Methodology. A cross-sectional, descriptive, observational study carried out in two national reference, highly complex healthcare centers in the Republic of Paraguay, using a non-probabilistic convenience sampling. The instrument was a pre-prepared and validated questionnaire. Results. Regarding work performance, a high level predominated. Regarding the dimensions of work performance, the high level predominated, with no participants registered at the low level. When relating motivational factors with work performance, a statistically significant association was found, thereby accepting the research hypothesis that indicates an association between motivational factors and the work performance of nursing professionals. Discussion. When relating motivational factors to job performance, a statistically significant association was observed. This is supported by a study conducted in Peru, whose results suggest that nursing professionals' job performance may be influenced by their dependence on extrinsic motivational factors. Conclusion. Strengthen recognition programs and improve working conditions is recommended to stimulate extrinsic motivation, such as implementing opportunities for professional development and participation in decision-making.
Introducción: Algunas prácticas ambientales arraigadas culturalmente ocasionan enfermedades infantiles como: diarreas, neumonías, dermatitis, lesiones domésticas no intencionales, etc. Objetivos: Describir las prácticas culturales y ambientales del ámbito rural de Perú que influyen en la salud infantil. Metodología: Investigación cualitativa, descriptiva, el escenario fueron los hogares de 15 madres de familia, residentes rurales de la costa norte de Perú; la muestra fue delimitada por saturación y redundancia, el muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia. Los datos se recolectaron mediante entrevista semiestructurada y procesados según el análisis de contenido. Resultados: A) Riesgo en la salud infantil por práctica cultural y ambiental de cocina a fuego abierto, B) Práctica cultural y ambiental en la eliminación de excretas, C) Costumbre de quema de residuos sólidos. Conclusiones: La mayoría de las madres de la zona rural cocinan a fuego abierto, usan leña, esto es un riesgo para los niños que permanecen con ellas. Eliminan las excretas en pozos ciegos, debido a la falta de saneamiento. Además, manifiestan un inadecuado manejo de residuos sólidos, eliminados en espacios abiertos que favorecen la proliferación de vectores, para posteriormente ser quemados.
A assistência psiquiátrica brasileira começou nas Santas Casas de Misericórdia até o surgimento dos hospitais psiquiátricos. Os objetivos deste estudo foram identificar vestígios do cuidado de enfermagem em psiquiatria nas primeiras instituições criadas no estado do Piauí, região Nordeste do Brasil e analisar suas relações com a institucionalização deste grupo na primeira metade do
século XX. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, histórico social, com dados publicados na mídia jornalística, coletados em arquivos públicos brasileiros. A análise, sob o referencial teórico foucaultiano, seguiu a metodologia de triangulação das fontes e interpretação de dados. Resultados: duas instituições iniciaram a assistência psiquiátrica no estado: o Asylo de Alienados, instituição pública criada em 1907, e o Sanatório Meduna, instituição privada inaugurada em 1954. Apesar do intervalo de 47 anos entre tais instituições, ambas instituíram o modelo manicomial, cuja prática assistencial incluía longos períodos de internação e tratamento disciplinar. Tal modelo abriu o mercado de trabalho para a enfermagem em psiquiatria, que se constituiu inicialmente de pessoas sem preparo formal, devido a inexistência de cursos de enfermagem no estado. Conclusão: o cuidado de enfermagem em psiquiatria foi institucionalizado no
Piauí/Brasil de acordo com a psiquiatria tradicional e a ausência de um saber próprio da enfermagem a colocou em condições de submissão ao poder médico, com poucos avanços na primeira metade do século XX.
Objetivo: describir las vivencias del “YO PURO” en mujeres privadas de libertad con antecedentes de consumo de drogas. Metodología: estudio cualitativo descriptivo de enfoque fenomenológico, utilizando un análisis de contenido temático e inductivo. La selección de participantes se realizó mediante un muestreo no probabilístico e intencional, incluyendo a seis mujeres privadas de su libertad. Para la recolección de datos, se aplicó una entrevista en profundidad basada en una pregunta detonadora. El análisis se llevó a cabo siguiendo los planteamientos propuestos por Edmund Husserl. Resultados: emergieron siete temas con sus unidades de significado. Experiencia en prisión, experiencia vivida del consumo de sustancias, dependencia y necesidad, reflexión y cuestionamiento del “YO PURO”, Sentimientos de culpa y pérdida, resignificación del presente a través de “YO PURO” y Anhelo de reconstrucción familiar. Conclusión: Este estudio exploró las vivencias de mujeres en reclusión, destacando los factores que influyen en su realidad diaria. Desde el enfoque fenomenológico de Edmund Husserl, se evidenció que la prisión no solo implica sufrimiento, sino que también propicia reflexión y transformación personal.
Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are associated with adverse outcomes. However, attention has typically focused on outcomes considered relevant by doctors, whereas the potential gap in perception and relative importance of outcomes that may exist between patients and doctors has been scarcely explored. Evidence available reports the views of either patients or doctors alone, and data are analysed in aggregate. We investigated this issue by surveying for the first time patients’ and doctors’ opinions simultaneously, on a one-to-one basis.
Survey involving patients with different CV diseases. Each patient and their attending doctor were asked to simultaneously but independently gauge the importance each attached to a predetermined set of outcomes, filling out disease-specific questionnaires. Results were analysed by compositional analysis.
Inpatients and outpatients being seen by cardiologists and internal medicine specialists at hospitals affiliated with the National Health System in Umbria, Italy.
All-comer patients, presenting with one of the following conditions: atrial fibrillation (AF), myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF) or considered at high CV risk.
Importance attached to outcomes relative to life path, quality of life, future clinical events.
From 337 paired questionnaires returned, significant differences between patients’ and doctors’ perspectives emerged. Specifically: (1) patients with AF were significantly less concerned about the risk of stroke than doctors; (2) worsening of HF was a greater concern for doctors than patients, whereas patients weighed the risk of disability more; (3) patients with a previous MI, or at high CV risk, weighed the risk of hospitalisation less relevant than doctors, but were significantly more concerned about the risk of disability.
Simultaneous, one-to-one assessment of patients’ and doctors’ opinion shows remarkable differences between patients’ perception and physicians’ judgement concerning the relevance of major CV outcomes. Appreciation and sharing of these issues may inform better tailoring of cardiac care.
Introducción. Las crisis migratorias representan un desafío para la salud global, especialmente en contextos como El Hierro, Canarias, donde las llegadas de personas migrantes han aumentado significativamente. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las características sociodemográficas, las necesidades asistenciales y las condiciones de salud de estas poblaciones, contribuyendo a diseñar políticas públicas y estrategias humanitarias más eficaces. Metodología. Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional descriptivo transversal durante las intervenciones humanitarias realizadas entre el 7 y el 14 de octubre de 2024. Los datos fueron obtenidos de los informes del Equipo de Respuesta Inmediata en Emergencias de Cruz Roja Española. Se incluyeron variables sociodemográficas, operativas y de salud, analizadas mediante estadística descriptiva. Resultados. Un total de 1.258 personas fueron atendidas, de las cuales el 95% eran hombres y el 5% mujeres. El 19% correspondía a menores, incluidos 218 menores no acompañados (17%). La mayoría provenía de Senegal (55,1%), Mali (24,9%) y Gambia (20%). Se registraron 76 casos de patologías agudas, siendo las más frecuentes heridas/herida (26,32%) y pie de patera (11,84%). Un 6,56% de las personas solicitó protección internacional. Las embarcaciones con travesías más largas (8-9 días) presentaron mayor incidencia de atenciones sanitarias. Discusión. Este estudio evidencia la dureza de las condiciones de las travesías y las necesidades críticas de las personas migrantes. Los resultados evidencian la necesidad de intervenciones adaptativas centradas en menores no acompañados y en la adecuación dinámica de recursos.
ABSTRACT
To assess Digital Health Literacy (DHL) levels among hypertensive patients.
Cross-sectional study.
The study, conducted from March to August 2024 among hypertensive patients using convenience sampling, employed a 35-item questionnaire assessing: (I) sociodemographic; (II) physical activity, dietary habits, antihypertensive pharmacological treatment and medical history; (III) online health-related information knowledge and confidence; (IV) DHL, through the HLS19-DIGI questionnaire with subscales on: (i) dealing with digital health information (HL-DIGI), (ii) interaction with digital resources (HL-DIGI-INT), (iii) frequency of digital device use for health (HL-DIGI-DD).
Among 311 participants (mean age 63.9 years, SD = 14.8), 42.1% completed high school, 25.4% held a bachelor's degree and 22.8% were physically inactive. While 49.8% were aware of online health-related information, 28.9% were uncertain and 47.6% lacked confidence in using it for health decisions. On average, participants showed a problematic level of DHL in HL-DIGI, a sufficient level in HL-DIGI-INT, and used digital health devices just over once a week. Older age emerged as a predictor of higher online health-related knowledge and DHL, while higher education level predicted higher knowledge, confidence and DHL. Physical inactivity was associated with lower online health-related information knowledge and confidence.
These findings point to the need to design proactive strategies and implement targeted training and educational interventions to improve DHL in hypertensive patients.
Enhancing DHL levels through targeted interventions in patient care allows patients to effectively benefit from digital healthcare, achieve positive health outcomes and reduce disparities in care pathways.
This study adhered to the STROBE checklist for reporting.
Patients were involved as the study population.

To map interventions in the sexuality of men with stomas.
Scoping review, following JBI and PRISMA-ScR guidelines to report results.
Databases consulted were PubMed, via National Library of Medicine, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Brazilian Electronic Library of Thesis and Dissertations, CAPES Catalogue of Thesis and Dissertations and Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal. Texts were read by independent reviewers, with no time or language restrictions.
The final sample included 10 studies. Data were synthesised and grouped for its similarity to approach models, preoperative orientations, self-care promotion, collecting pouch hygiene and safety, sexual health discussion and education, construction of bonds and sexual function evaluation.
Interventions in the sexuality of men with stomas included adherence to models for approaching sexuality, focusing on the permission and coparticipation of the patient, open conversations on the topic, self-care promotion, collecting pouch hygiene and safety, encouragement to the creation of bonds, sexual function evaluation in pre- and postoperative periods and individual and/or collective sexual health education.
This study contributes to the sexuality of men with stomas. It identified recommendations to approach and conduct the topic at hand, addressing the rehabilitation process since the surgery to place the stoma is considered.
This study addressed scientific literature on the sexuality of men with stomas. Most were from Europe and results demonstrated a gap in knowledge. This research will impact the stoma therapy research, affecting teams involved in the care to men with stomas, encouraging reflections on the sexuality of these patients.
This study complies with the PRISMA-ScR.
There was no patient or public contribution.

Objetivos: Conocer el efecto de la autotrascendencia sobre el bienestar, por lo cual se planteó la hipótesis que indica que a mayor autotrascendencia (intrapersonal, interpersonal y transpersonal [espiritualidad]) mayor bienestar (físico, psicológico y social) en los adultos mayores. Metodología: estudio descriptivo correlacional. La población fueron adultos mayores de ambos sexos. El muestreo fue probabilístico aleatorio estratificado, la muestra total fueron 251 adultos mayores. Resultados: El efecto de la autotrascendencia y la espiritualidad fue significativo (F(1,249) = 4.24, p=.015) sobre el bienestar físico (consumo de alcohol sensato) explicando el 25% de la varianza total. Respecto al efecto de estas mismas variables sobre el bienestar psicológico se puede observar que el modelo fue significativo (F(1,249) = 51.52,p=.001) explicando el 28.8% de la varianza total. Por último se identificó que el efecto de la autotrascendencia y la espiritualidad sobre el bienestar social fue significativo (F(1,249) = 31.00, p=.001), este modelo explicó el 20.0% de la varianza total. Conclusiones: La autotrascendencia (intra e interpersonal y transpersonal [espiritualidad]) tiene efecto sobre el bienestar físico (consumo de alcohol sensato), bienestar psicológico y social. Debido a los resultados se considera que la enfermería debe de abordar estas problemáticas de estudio bajo marcos teóricos que promuevan el desarrollo integrar en el adulto mayor y facilitar el bienestar de la persona en todas las etapas de la vida.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To know the effect of self-transcendence on well-being, for which the hypothesis was raised that indicates that the greater the self-transcendence (intrapersonal, interpersonal and transpersonal [spirituality]), the greater the well-being (physical, psychological and social) in elderly. Methodology: predictive descriptive study. The population was older adults of both sexes. The sampling was stratified random probabilistic, the total sample was 251 older adults. Results: The effect of self-transcendence and spirituality was significant (F(1,249) = 4.24, p=.015) on physical well-being (sensible alcohol consumption) explaining 25% of the total variance. Regarding the effect of these same variables on psychological well-being, it can be seen that the model was significant (F(1,249) = 51.52, p=.001) explaining 28.8% of the total variance. Finally, it was identified that the effect of self-transcendence and spirituality on social well-being was significant (F(1,249) = 31.00, p=.001), this model explained 20.0% of the total variance. Conclusions: Self-transcendence (intra- and interpersonal and transpersonal [spirituality]) has an effect on physical well-being (sensible alcohol consumption), psychological and social well-being. Therefore, it is considered that nursing should address these study problems under theoretical frameworks that promote the comprehensive development of the elderly and facilitate the well-being of the person at all stages of life.

ABSTRACT
Introduction. Alcohol consumption is a complex phenomenon to study that can arise from multiple characteristics of the individual and the environment, as well as beliefs and ideologies about this behavior. Objective: Identify patterns of alcohol consumption and explore the social representations of alcohol consumption constructed by university students. Methodology. A descriptive study was carried out with a qualitative approach. In the quantitative collection, 59 participants were obtained, to whom a personal data and alcohol consumption card and the AUDIT questionnaire were applied; In the qualitative collection, seven semi-structured online interviews were conducted. Results. Of the 59 participants, it was identified that 93.2% consumed alcohol at some point in their lives, 83.1% in the last year, 55.9% in the last month and 28.8% in the last seven days. 36.7% presented low-risk consumption, 34.7% dependent or risky, and 28.6% harmful. Seven categories emerged from the seven interviews: previous related behavior, perception of benefits from alcohol consumption, perception of barriers to alcohol consumption, self-efficacy of resistance to alcohol consumption, positive affects related to alcohol consumption, interpersonal influences and situational influence of social relations. networks. Discussion. The results show the important role that beliefs, perceptions and ideologies can have on alcohol consumption behavior in university students; findings that become an important contribution to the development of future prevention strategies focused university students.
