[Ethical considerations during health crisis: about SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic.].

In 2009, the H1N1 pandemic raised a series of ethical considerations that influenced the approach to the crisis. In the framework of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, these issues have been repeated, and the analysis of what happened in 2009 can be seen as a warning. The principles of justice, solidarity, equity, transparency and reciprocity should be included in future pandemic response plans, including lessons learned.

The value of nursing care in the paradigm of chronicity and dependency. New roles and redesigns.

The future of Healthcare Systems not only faces financial troubles, but also--perhaps worse, the need to redesign its service offers. It is necessary to work for all the knowledge available to be placed at the service of patients and society, generating much more efficient services and opening to a redesign where nurses lead in new services supported on the strategy of effective care. Additionally, it is hoped that patients assume a responsibility and nurses another: that of accompanying patients during their disease process to become for them a support in their self-care efforts.

CuidaCare: effectiveness of a nursing intervention on the quality of life's caregiver: cluster-randomized clinical trial.

Background: In Spain, family is the main source of care for dependent people. Numerous studies suggest that providing informal (unpaid) care during a prolonged period of time results in a morbidity-generating burden. Caregivers constitute a high-risk group that experiences elevated stress levels, which reduce their quality of life.

[The family and community nurse: Health agent and model for the chronic patient within the community].

It is estimated that the chronic, fragile and complex patient represents 5% of the general population, but uses up to 65% of the total amount of health care resources. Older people who are dependent, with chronic illnesses and comorbidities need professional care that promotes self-care and self-management of their illnesses. Thus, new strategies need to be considered to channel those professional care services to focus on this group.
