Mesocosms, outdoor replicated ecological experiments within a controlled environment, have become a valuable tool for investigating a broad range of ecological questions across various sub-disciplines. This study presents a medium-sized mesocosm system (MS) designed for individual-level responses to abiotic factors and basic intraspecific interactions in small ground-dwelling reptiles, offering a practical alternative to large-scale facilities for resource-limited settings. Unlike large-scale facilities that are ideal for meta-community dynamics but impractical due to high costs and complexity, this system targets research contexts with limited resources requiring replicated experimental units. To validate the MS design, 16 units were constructed using cost-effective, widely available materials and equipped with a programmable irrigation system. A pilot test using Podarcis bocagei lizards provided a preliminary biological evaluation of the design and its suitability in housing wild-caught medium-small reptiles under semi-natural conditions over 7 months. Despite minor maintenance, the MS was resilient to environmental conditions, warranting an expansion to 32 units in subsequent years. Most individuals maintained or recovered body mass during the activity season, and displayed natural behaviours such as basking and foraging. The system’s modularity and adaptability offer a practical reference for ecological studies with similar constraints.The aim of review was to describe and synthesise the evidence on the use of tourniquets to control haemorrhages, summarising both civilian and military use.
Trauma-related haemorrhage constitutes one of the most preventable deaths among injured patients, particularly in multi-casualty incidents and disasters. In this context, safe instruments such as tourniquets are essential to help healthcare professionals to minimise loss of life and maximise patient recovery.
An integrative review was conducted in Medline, Nursing & Allied Health Premium, and Health & Medical Collection, using published data until March 2021 and following the PRISMA guidelines.
A total of 25 articles were included. Evidence has been synthesised to understand the use of different types of tourniquets, environment of application, indication for their placement and potential complications associated with tourniquet placement.
Commercial tourniquets such as Combat Application Tourniquet or Emergency Tourniquet models are a valuable and safe instrument for haemorrhage control in both military and civilian out-of-hospital care settings. Nurses, as part of emergency teams, and other professionals should be aware that there is a possibility of adverse complications, but they are directly proportional to the time of tourniquet placement and generally temporary. In addition, national and international guidelines ensure the need for all civilian emergency services to be equipped with these devices, as well as for the training of healthcare professionals and first responders in their use.
Despite the lack of complications in the use of tourniquets in these cases, their use has been a matter of debate for decades. In this sense, this review yields up-to-date guidelines in the use of tourniquets, their recommendations and their significance among professionals to manage complicated situations.
To synthesise the available evidence on the effect of artificial intelligence in promoting positive nursing practice environments, exploring outcomes for professionals, clients, and institutions.
Artificial intelligence has undergone significant advancements and shows great potential to transform nursing practice. However, this technological evolution is not without challenges, which must be identified and addressed.
A systematic mixed-methods review following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and the methodology proposed by JBI. The search strategy was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science, including grey literature. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies were included, and the selection process involved screening by two independent reviewers, who assessed all studies, their methodological quality and extracted their data.
From the conducted search, 11 studies were included, addressing how artificial intelligence has transformed nursing practice by optimising decision-making, task execution, and patient safety. Artificial intelligence, through predictive models and assistants such as ChatGPT, can enhance nursing management. However, challenges such as privacy concerns, resistance to change, and the need for professional training must be addressed to maximise its effectiveness.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to positively transform the nursing practice environment, optimising decision-making, enhancing patient safety, and improving operational efficiency, with clear benefits for professionals, patients, and healthcare institutions.
This study analysed the impact of artificial intelligence on nursing, highlighting improvements in clinical decision-making, patient safety, and institutional efficiency. Despite the identified benefits, the implementation of artificial intelligence in nursing is not without challenges and risks, which must be identified and addressed to ensure safe and effective adoption.
The review followed the PRISMA 2020 checklist.

Low-income adults with disabilities experience disproportionately high rates of food insecurity and preventable healthcare utilisation. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can reduce food insecurity and improve health, but there are accessibility gaps in the SNAP enrolment process. Existing outreach and enrolment assistance programmes have been shown to boost SNAP enrolment, but their health effects are understudied. This study estimates the effects of a SNAP outreach and enrolment assistance programme on health outcomes among low-income adults with disabilities.
The study pragmatically evaluates a programme that provided outreach and SNAP enrolment assistance for low-income households. The study leverages a random process that selected households for one of two types of outreach, including an information-only arm and an information plus enrolment assistance arm, which formed a control group by default. The study will estimate the effect of this programme among low-income adults with disabilities using Medicaid and SNAP administrative data. Study outcomes include emergency department, hospital and long-term nursing home utilisation. SNAP enrolment and benefit amounts are secondary study outcomes and will be tested as a mediating mechanism of action. The study will test effect heterogeneity based on race, ethnicity, age and chronic conditions.
The study, which relies on deidentified data, was determined to be exempt as human subjects research by the Institutional Review Boards at Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The study is being conducted in ongoing consultation with an Advisory Group of experts in food advocacy and disability advocacy. In addition to disseminating findings in peer-reviewed publications, findings will be disseminated to state decision-makers and the community in partnership with an advisory group.
Cohort studies of ageing and cognitive decline typically do not begin fielding comprehensive cognitive assessments until older adulthood. However, for identifying preventable dementia risk factors, there is strong value in beginning at earlier ages. The case is especially compelling in sub-Saharan Africa, where the number of older individuals is expected to triple in the next three decades, and where risk factors may operate more intensively at earlier ages. This study reports on the adaptation and validity of the Harmonised Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) approach in the Kenya Life Panel Survey (KLPS), collected among middle-aged respondents.
To evaluate the validity of the HCAP approach in Kenya, this study assesses model fit statistics from confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) and tests measurement invariance by respondent characteristics.
Both rural and urban areas in Kenya.
A sample of n=5878 individuals from the KLPS, who have been surveyed regularly since they were schoolchildren in the 1990s. The HCAP assessment was administered in 2023 at an average age of 37 years (10–90 range 34 to 41).
For each individual, the CFA generates a general cognitive performance score, and cognitive performance scores for five distinct domains, including memory, executive functioning, language, orientation to time and place, and visuospatial functioning.
Fit of the models to the data was adequate for general cognitive performance (root mean squared error of approximation (RMSEA)=0.03; comparative fit index (CFI)=0.94; standardised root mean residual (SRMR)=0.05), language (RMSEA=0.02; CFI=0.95; SRMR=0.05) and good for memory (RMSEA=0.05; CFI=0.99; SRMR=0.02) and executive functioning (RMSEA=0.03; CFI=0.98; SRMR=0.03). The CFA indicate that the factor structure is consistent with findings from other countries and that reliability for the general cognitive performance score was high. Statistical models also suggest invariance at the scalar level for leading demographic (gender, age) and socioeconomic (education, occupational complexity) characteristics.
This study demonstrates that the cognitive functioning of mid-age Kenyans appears to be well captured by the adapted protocol. While there is a moderate decline in cognitive performance among older individuals, this relationship appears to be mediated by education, indicating that this KLPS HCAP provides a valuable baseline for studying future cognitive decline.
Introducción: en el mundo contemporáneo donde cada vez se dan más oleadas de migraciones de un país a otro, se hace más necesaria una enfermería competente culturalmente.

Background
Females with autism often receive late diagnoses—especially those with average or above-average intellectual abilities—highlighting the need to explore the unique experiences of this population for better health care support.
Objective
To explore the experiences and perceptions of females who received a late diagnosis on the autism spectrum in terms of coping and managing their diagnosis.
Methods
A descriptive qualitative study was conducted from December 2022 to March 2023 using semistructured interviews with 14 late-diagnosed autistic female subjects. Purposive and snowball sampling were employed, and thematic analysis of the interview data was performed using ATLAS.ti v.9 software. Findings were reported following standards for reporting qualitative research guidelines.
Results
Two main themes emerged: (a) getting a diagnosis: fitting into the norm, and (b) navigating the distinct significance for autistic females. The findings indicated that masking strategies contribute to delayed diagnoses, and social and health care stigma surrounding autism in females was evident. Areas for improving access to resources and support programs were identified.
Discussion
The results show that masking and camouflaging are predominant strategies among autistic females, contributing to delayed diagnoses and exposing them to additional risks. Enhancing resources and training for health care professionals is necessary to address the specific needs of this population. Introducción. Las intervenciones de música en directo pueden ayudar a mejorar el bienestar tanto psicológico como físico, emocional y espiritual. El presente proyecto nace de un trabajo colaborativo e interdisciplinar entre dos titulaciones de grado: Enfermería e Interpretación Musical. Objetivos. Analizar la efectividad de una intervención musical en directo en el bienestar de pacientes oncológicos. Metodología. Se plantea un estudio de diseño mixto. Un estudio cuasiexperimental sin aleatorización para evaluar el efecto de la intervención con grupo un control (N=33) y experimental (N=33) durante la administración del tratamiento en un hospital de día oncológico. Se recogerán variables sociodemográficas y clínicas (nivel de ansiedad, afectividad y signos vitales). También se analizarán los niveles de ansiedad y variación en los signos vitales en los intérpretes (estudiantes de música) antes y después de los ensayos y de la intervención. Se diseña un estudio cualitativo fenomenológico-hermenéutico para conocer las experiencias de los pacientes y los intérpretes tras la intervención musical. Aplicabilidad práctica. En este proyecto se destaca la importancia de la colaboración entre estudiantes de dos disciplinas complementarias en contextos sanitarios reales.
ABSTRACT
Introduction. Live music interventions can help enhance psychological, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. This research project stems from a collaborative and interdisciplinary effort between two undergraduate programs: Nursing and Musical Performance. Objectives. To analyze the effectiveness of a live music intervention on the well-being of oncology patients. Methodology. A mixed-methods study design is proposed. A quasi-experimental study without randomization will evaluate the effect of the intervention with a control group (N=33) and an experimental group (N=33) during chemotherapy treatment administration in a day hospital. Sociodemographic and clinical variables (anxiety levels, affectivity, and vital signs) will be collected. The levels of anxiety and changes in vital signs in the performers (music students) will be analyzed before and after rehearsals and the intervention. A phenomenological-hermeneutic qualitative study is designed to understand the experiences of the patients and performers after the musical intervention. Practical Applicability. This project emphasizes the importance of collaboration between students from two complementary disciplines in real healthcare settings, starting from their formative stages.
Objetivo. Comparar la percepción de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) tras la COVID-19 en función del sexo. Metodología. Estudio observacional descriptivo y transversal en pacientes post-COVID de neumología-medicina interna del Complejo asistencial de Zamora, diagnosticados de COVID-19 al menos 3 meses antes. La CVRS se valoró mediante el cuestionario EQ-5D-5L. Resultados. Se incluyeron 192 pacientes, 91 mujeres (47,4 %), edad 57±13 años. 127 pacientes (66,0%) reflejaron un EQ-5D Index < 1, lo que supone una merma en su CVRS. En el análisis comparativo en función del sexo, las mujeres manifestaron mayor dificultad para las actividades cotidianas (38 [41,3%] vs. 22 [21,6%]; p=0,003), dolor/malestar de forma habitual (50 [54,3%] vs. 35 [34,3%]; p=0,005) y ansiedad/depresión (48 [52,2%] vs. 38 [37,3%]; p=0,037). La Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) fue mayor en hombres (69,8±18,7 vs. 63,1±19,5; p=0,016), así como el EQ-5D Index (0,84±0,22 vs. 0,76±0,25; p=0,023). La regresión lineal multivariante confirmó que las mujeres tenían una peor autopercepción de la CVRS independientemente del resto de factores analizados, tanto en el EQ-5D Index [b (IC95%): -0,090 (-0,153 a -0,026)] como en la EVA [b (IC95%): -6,858 (-12,083 a -1,633)]. Discusión. El sexo femenino es un factor de riesgo significativo para una peor calidad de vida auto percibida en pacientes que han pasado la COVID-19, con mayor incidencia de ansiedad, depresión, dolor y limitaciones en actividades cotidianas. Estos problemas fueron más prevalentes en mujeres, quienes mostraron diferencias significativamente menores en el índice EQ-5D y la escala EVA en comparación con los hombres.
ABSTRACT
Objective. To compare the health-related quality of life perception (HRQoL) after COVID-19 according to sex. Methodology. Cross-sectional study in post-COVID patients attending neumology and internal medicine consultation rooms at Complejo Asistencial de Zamora, diagnosed from COVID-19, at least 3 months before. HRQoL was evaluated using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. Results: 192 patients were included, 91 women (47,4 %), aged 57±13. 127 patients (66,0%) obtained EQ-5D Index < 1, what means a decrease in their HRQoL. Comparative analysis according to sex showed women had higher difficulties for daily activities (38 [41,3%] vs. 22 [21,6%]; p=0,003), usual pain/discomfort (50 [54,3%] vs. 35 [34,3%]; p=0,005), anxiety/depression (48 [52,2%] vs. 38 [37,3%]; p=0,037). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was higher among men (69,8±18,7 vs. 63,1±19,5; p=0,016), as well as EQ-5D Index (0,84±0,22 vs. 0,76±0,25; p=0,023). Multivariate linear regression confirmed women had a worse HRQoL perception with independence of the rest of the analyzed factors, in EQ-5D Index [b (IC95%): -0,090 (-0,153 a -0,026)] as well as VAS [b (IC95%): -6,858 (-12,083 a -1,633)]. Discussion: Female sex is a significative risk factor for a worse self-perceived quality of life in patients who had suffered from COVID-19, with a high incidence of anxiety, depression, pain, and limitations for daily activities. These problems were more prevalent in women, who showed significant lower differences in the EQ-5D index and the VAS scale compared to men.
For nurse leaders to excel in leadership roles in the clinical world of informatics, a comprehensive understanding of nursing informatics as translated within the broader scope of health informatics including clinical informatics and business intelligence is necessary. The translation of nursing informatics in the comprehensive scope of health informatics is not consistently taught in graduate nursing leadership curricula. Collaboratively, from an interprofessional education stance, a graduate nurse informatics course was re-visioned using translational pedagogy: the idea of teaching related concepts by translating each and vice versa. Specifically, we translated nursing informatics amid health informatics concepts including business intelligence. Leadership students in the re-visioned course experienced the ability to visualize, conceptualize, and understand how work in information systems impacts broader aspects of clinical and business decision-making. Looking at nursing informatics through the lens of health informatics will develop students' ability to visualize, conceptualize, and understand how work in information systems has an impact on the broader aspects of clinical decision-making and support. Further, this paradigm shift will enhance students' ability to utilize information systems in leadership decision-making as future knowledge workers. Objetivo principal. Evaluar la asociación entre los factores sociodemográficos y el nivel de conocimientos básicos en diabetes en los pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM tipo 2). Metodología. Estudio observacional descriptivo transversal. En él determina el nivel de conocimientos sobre diabetes a través del cuestionario Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire 24 (DKQ24) y se mide la adherencia al tratamiento a través del cuestionario Morisky Green a pacientes con DM tipo 2. Se ha tomado como muestra a 183 personas con DM tipo 2, escogiendo de forma aleatoria a 110 personas en Ciudad Real y otras 73 en Porzuna de varios cupos de enfermería. El porcentaje de pérdidas ha sido del 10%. Las mediciones se han realizado mediante cuestionarios telefónicos tras el consentimiento verbal del paciente. Resultados y Discusión. Como en otros estudios similares, la mayoría de pacientes con diabetes no llegan a los niveles adecuados de conocimientos en diabetes. Este nivel de conocimientos está asociado a la zona geográfica, nivel de estudios, realización de dieta y ejercicio diario y IMC. A pesar de ello la media de respuestas correctas ha sido más elevada que en estudios similares. La adherencia terapéutica parece guardar relación al nivel de conocimientos adecuados en diabetes, por lo que reforzar el conocimiento de los pacientes puede hacer que mejore su adherencia y prevenir complicaciones de la enfermedad.
ABSTRACT
Main objective. To evaluate the association between sociodemographic factors and the level of basic knowledge in diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). Methodology. A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was performed. The level of knowledge about diabetes was determined through the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire 24 (DKQ24) and adherence to treatment is measured through the Morisky Green questionnaire in patients with type 2 DM. 183 people with type 2 DM were taken as a sample, randomly choosing 110 people in Ciudad Real and another 73 in Porzuna from various nursing vacancies. The percentage of losses has been 10%. Measurements were made using telephone questionnaires after the patient's verbal consent. Results and Discussion. As in other similar studies, the majority of patients with diabetes do not reach adequate levels of diabetes knowledge. This level of knowledge is associated with the geographical area, educational level, diet and daily exercise, and BMI. Despite this, the average number of correct answers was higher than in similar studies. Therapeutic adherence seems to be related to the level of adequate knowledge in diabetes, so reinforcing the knowledge of the patients can improve their adherence and prevent complications of the disease.
La profesión enfermera está presente en distintos entornos, que determinan las intervenciones que desarrollan. Sin embargo, independientemente del contexto en el que se encuentren, se debe de trabajar en base a la última evidencia disponible.
Los congresos, son espacios que permiten generan debates, compartir conocimientos, y conectar con profesionales con los mismos intereses. Por este motivo, las enfermeras deben de estar presentes en estos eventos, con los que se busca despertar inquietudes, crear redes y hacer que la profesión avance.
Objeto del presente ensayo reflexivo: Mostrar y reflexionar sobre la utilidad que tiene la investigación cualitativa y/o fenomenológica en la atención del paciente que presenta diabetes. Desarrollo: la atención integral de una forma biopsicosocial, cultural y espiritual tanto al paciente como a la familia del mismo por parte del profesional sanitario, juega un papel importante a la hora de tener calidad de vida en el nuevo estilo de vida. Conclusiones y reflexiones finales: La investigación cualitativa en enfermería, ayuda a interpretar el sufrimiento del paciente, su relación con su entorno social y cultural y sus sentimientos e inquietudes dentro de la diabetes.
To understand the factors that contribute to the risk of suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual (sexual minorities) youth.
The increase in the likelihood of suicide has made it an urgent issue in public health, particularly among young people, where it now ranks as the fourth leading cause of death. This issue becomes even more significant when focusing on sexual minorities.
A cross-sectional study was performed in targeted young individuals (15–29 years). Several variables were assessed, including suicide risk, self-esteem, presence and severity of depressive symptoms, perceived social support and self-reported levels of anxiety and depression.
Statistically significant disparities were observed in suicide risk, presence of depressive symptoms and self-reported levels of anxiety and depression, all of which were more pronounced in sexual minority youth compared to heterosexual cisgender individuals. Likewise, statistically significant differences were noted concerning self-esteem and family support, both of which were lower in sexual minority youth.
This study has identified risk factors, such as anxiety, depression and limited social support, as well as protective factors, like higher self-esteem and self-concept. Understanding and addressing all these factors are essential in reducing the elevated rates of suicide among sexual minority youth. Consequently, evidence-based interventions such as Gender and Sexuality Alliances, which empower and create safe spaces for sexual minority youth, possess substantial potential for effectively addressing this issue.
Given sexual minorities vulnerability, healthcare pros, especially nurses, must grasp suicide risk factors. They can help by educating, offering care, assessing risk and fighting stigma. This guarantees safety and access to mental health services for at-risk individuals from sexual minorities.
The reporting follows the STROBE checklist.
People who were invited to participate voluntarily completed a range of questionnaires.
To explore the rate of NUPs and associated factors in the PED of the ‘Hospital Universitario y Politécnico La Fe’ in Valencia (Spain) using Andersen's Behavioural Model.
We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study using Andersen's Behavioural Model in parents visiting the PED with their children at the ‘Hospital Universitario y Politécnico La Fe’ in Valencia (Spain).
The study involved a total of 530 participants, of whom 419 (79%) had made an NUP. The predisposing factors identified were: (I) paediatric patients brought in by their fathers (OR = 0.460; p = 0.005), (II) lower educational attainment (OR = 3.841; p = 0.000), (III) first-time parenthood (OR = 2.335; p = 0.000) and (IV) higher parental stress (OR = 1.974; p = 0.023). The enabling factors included: (I) responsibility for a significant part of the childcare shared with others (OR = 0.348; p = 0.041) and (II) the perception that PEDs provide better care than primary care (PC) services (OR = 1.628; p = 0.005). The need factors were: (I) existing chronic illness in the child seeking care (OR = 0.343; p = 0.000) and (II) the perceived severity of the urgency (OR = 0.440; p = 0.031).
The NUP rates found in this study are similar to those found internationally. In accordance with Andersen's Behavioural Model, we identify predisposing, enabling and need factors to explain the multifactorial nature of NUPs in PEDs.
Identifying the factors associated with NUPs enables interventions to be targeted at those groups most likely to engage in NUPs, thereby optimising the functioning of the PED and improving the well-being of children and families. These interventions should focus on improving parental health literacy, providing education on making appropriate decisions about accessing health services and recognising severe symptoms in children, as well as improving access to high-quality PC services. Providing support to parents during the transition to parenthood would also be beneficial.
This paper adheres to the STROBE initiative guidelines.
Participants, who voluntarily agreed to take part, contributed to the study by completing a paper-based questionnaire containing all the study variables as prepared by the research team.
To identify scales that assess parental stress in the paediatric clinical population and to analyse their psychometric properties.
Four electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Scopus) and metasearch engines (Google Scholar and Open Grey) were searched with no time period limitations. Methodological quality was assessed using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) and quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach modified by COSMIN. Finally, recommendations were made for the instruments with the highest quality of evidence.
A total of 38 studies reporting on 11 different instruments for assessing parental stress in the paediatric clinical setting were included. Six instruments were ‘A’ rated (recommended) in the final phase in line with COSMIN guidelines. The Paediatric Inventory for Parents was the instrument that evaluated the highest number of psychometric properties and obtained the highest methodological quality, global assessment, and quality of evidence for the different psychometric properties.
This systematic review provides an overview of the measurement properties of the parental stress instruments used in the paediatric clinical setting. The Paediatric Inventory for Parents stands out as being one of the most robust instruments for measuring stress in parents with a hospitalised or sick child. Evidence needs to be generated for all the parental stress scales used in the clinical setting.
Given that the psychometric properties of the existing parental stress scales used in paediatric health care settings have not been systematically assessed, the present review utilised comprehensive methods according to COSMIN.

La elevada rotación del personal de enfermería que se produce en todos los centros sanitarios públicos y privados de nuestro país es una realidad muy habitual de nuestros días. La formación inicial de las nuevas compañeras plantea una dificultad añadida a la sobrecarga de trabajo que se da en muchos destinos. Con las nuevas tecnologías, tenemos en las formaciones online una gran oportunidad para diseñar planes de inmersión con un formato virtual.
El objetivo principal es analizar de qué manera el Modelo Tidal favorece la reconstrucción de significados en el duelo como continuidad de vínculos. El duelo es un proceso complejo que tiene componentes naturales y construidos, en ocasiones, las personas dolientes validan la continuidad de vínculos con la persona fallecida por medio de la organización de las autonarrativas. El manejo de este fenómeno es interdisciplinario donde destaca la Enfermería de Salud Mental orientada por el Modelo Tidal el cual se apoya en la historia personal para la reconstrucción de los significados tras la muerte de un ser querido favoreciendo la adaptación a través del cuidado. Conclusión principal: El abordaje de la continuidad de vínculos desde el Modelo Tidal favorece la adaptación al duelo centrado en la persona y su historia al afianzar la reconstrucción de significados que mejoren la calidad de vida por medio del cuidado enfocado en las necesidades actuales.
Objetivo: Describir la relación de la Inteligencia Emocional de rasgo con el Riesgo Suicida en los estudiantes de Enfermería luego del retorno estudiantil a la presencialidad en una universidad pública de Chile. Metodología: Enfoque cuantitativo, correlacional, transversal, no experimental. Resultados principales: Se presentó una prevalencia de 19,3% de la muestra con riesgo suicida, y ambas variables se correlacionaron negativamente a nivel estadísticamente significativo (r= -,502; p<,000). Conclusión principal: Existe una relación fuerte y de dirección negativa entre la inteligencia emocional de rasgo y el riesgo suicida en estudiantes de enfermería luego del retorno a la presencialidad. Se observa un aumento del riesgo suicida en comparación con la referencia prepandémica. Además, los estudiantes de primeros años presentaron niveles más altos de riesgo suicida. La inteligencia emocional se considera un factor protector, por lo que las universidades deben ser fuente de formación en la gestión emocional, dado que el riesgo suicida suele estar presente en este estudiantado.
