Objective: The objective of this review is to describe the nature and extent of the literature regarding unlicensed assistive personnel's involvement in delivering care to persons with or at risk of delirium.
Introduction: Initiatives that promote the involvement of unlicensed assistive personnel in providing additional supervision and care to persons with or at risk of delirium have been developed. Because no standardized approach guides unlicensed assistive personnel's involvement with persons with or at risk of delirium, and because inconsistent training and expectations may pose a threat to the safety and quality of care, it is essential to clarify the role of unlicensed assistive personnel in caring for persons with or at risk of delirium.
Aim: To explore the knowledge content and structure of nursing students' decision-making in a high-stake clinical situation of postpartum hemorrhage using the Recognition-Primed Decision Model.
Background: According to research on clinical judgment, a nurse's expectations for a patient situation are central to the clinical decision-making process. However, little research has addressed the expectation concept and its relationship with the nurse's knowledge.
Background: Hemorrhage is a frequent complication that nurses and midwives must recognize and manage to avoid life-threatening consequences for patients. There is currently no synthesis of evidence on educational interventions in nursing and midwifery regarding hemorrhage, thus limiting the definition of best practices.
Objective: To map the literature on nursing and midwifery education regarding the recognition and management of hemorrhage.
Background: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy can cause infant brain and eye abnormalities and has been associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in exposed infants. Evidence is limited on ZIKV's effects on children infected postnatally within the first year of life.
Objective: To determine whether any adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes occurred in early childhood for children infected postnatally with ZIKV during infancy, given the neurotoxicity of ZIKV infection and the rapid brain development that occurs in infancy and early childhood.
En México, la población indígena supera los siete millones de habitantes, en Puebla el grupo más representativo es el Náhuatl.

Media Richness and Social Cognitive theories propose that rich media offer more information with interactive and audible visual content, which could have a significant impact on people's thinking and behavior. The objective was to determine whether USMO presented by rich media has an influence on at-risk sexual behavior for HIV/AIDS.
