Introduction: Violence against women is a global problem with serious consequences, such as femicide and high rates of violence in intimate partner relationships, especially in Latin America. In Ecuador, the figures are alarming, and the phenomenon is related to social attitudes that reinforce gender inequality, such as the belief that women should be subordinate to men. These attitudes, which affect cognitive, affective and behavioral dimensions, perpetuate violent behavior towards women. Objective: To analyze the attitudes towards violence against women that male students may present in the university environment. Methodology: This research had a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, cross- sectional cohort, with descriptive scope. The target population consisted of approximately 124 students enrolled in the Nursing program at the Technical University of Ambato, during the academic period from September 2024 to August 2025. Results: The results obtained indicate that most of the students surveyed presented scores that suggest a low predisposition towards aggressive attitudes against the female gender. These findings suggest an environment in which attitudes towards the female gender are not associated with violent behaviors, which could be a positive indication in terms of attitudes of respect and gender equity. Conclusions: Although the results reflect an overall positive trend, the persistence of indifferent or worrying attitudes in some students highlights the need to continue working on gender violence awareness and education.

Background: Autologous hematopoietic progenitor transplantation (auto-HPT) is a treatment for hematologic diseases that involves infusion of the patient's hematopoietic stem cells. It requires prior myeloablative conditioning and specialized care. The procedure, potential complications, and nursing care at different stages were described. Methods: Systematic review using the PRISMA approach, with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The search was performed in multiple databases in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, between 2019 and 2023. Twenty full articles that met the criteria were analyzed. Results: The most commonly used source of hematopoietic progenitors at present is peripheral blood. Before infusion, the patient receives conditioning with high-dose chemotherapy. The main complication is infections; overall survival at 5 years is 68-80%. Nursing care in auto-HPCT is indispensable in all its stages because it performs preventive care, patient education, nutritional and emotional support, management of complications, and subsequent reintegration. Conclusion: Specialized and timely nursing care, based on the available evidence, allows improving the results and reducing the complications associated with autoHPT, impacting the survival and quality of life of these patient

El presente trabajo de investigación aplicado en el Servicio de Emergencia del Hospital Provincial General Latacunga en el que se ha detectado que la actuación del personal de enfermería en la atención del paciente politraumatizado es de gran importancia pero no se cumple a cabalidad, esto no favorece la evolución del paciente politraumatizado, puesto que necesita que el personal tome decisiones de forma ágil que favorezca la estabilización mediata del mismo evitando acciones que puedan producir complicaciones que causen discapacidades permanentes e incluso la muerte. Por tanto el objetivo principal de la investigación es establecer la actuación del personal de enfermería en la asistencia y recuperación del paciente politraumatizado, atendido en el área de Emergencia del HPGL, garantizando la estabilización hemodinámica de las funciones vitales y disminuyendo futuras complicaciones que pongan en peligro la vida. La investigación aplica una metodología, un enfoque cualitativo, cuantitativo, de campo, documental, bibliográfico, de tipo descriptivo, explicativo y retrospectivo: mediante técnicas como encuestas, fichas de observación permitiendo recopilar información suficiente del problema. Llegando a la conclusión que los cuidados que brindan los profesionales de enfermería a los pacientes politraumatizados influye mucho en la recuperación parcial o total de los mismos, estos profesionales no se encuentran debidamente capacitados para el manejo de pacientes de esta índole. Gracias a los resultados obtenidos se ha visto la necesidad de crear un protocolo de atención al paciente politraumatizado en la cual se dé a conocer los cuidados y el manejo preciso, conciso que se debe tener con estos pacientes encaminados a su pronta recuperación.

Arterial hypertension is considered a chronic non-communicable disease, associated with an unhealthy lifestyle, causing 9.4 million deaths per year worldwide. In underdeveloped countries, its prevalence is increasing and access to medication is decreasing, estimating a higher prevalence (8%) for the year 2030. Knowledge and adequate pharmacological treatment of this disease are important for its timely health control. There are several components involved in poor drug adherence such as different comorbidities, level of education, sex of the patients, among others. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors related to adequate pharmacological adherence in older adults. This observational, descriptive and correlational study seeks to determine the relationship between sex, age, marital status and level of education with the level of pharmacological adherence. The sample consisted of 104 participants, where the highest percentage of hypertensive patients were women (77.9%). Eighty - eight point five percent had partial adherence and 11.5% had poor adherence to medication. There was no statistically significant association between the level of adherence and the sociodemographic variables of the participants. It is necessary to educate patients by stressing the importance of continuity of pharmacological treatment to reduce or even prevent the development of other associated diseases.
