Assistance to women during the pregnancy-puerperal cycle and to children in the first year of life has been extensively studied, especially regarding its impact on maternal, perinatal and neonatal mortality. The assessment of the quality of health services can be carried out through effectiveness, effectiveness, efficiency, optimization, acceptability, legitimacy and equity and the structure-process-results triad. It is possible to consider the woman's pilgrimage as obstetric violence because it is directly related to her reproductive process and the annulment of her rights. This type of violence results from the precariousness of the health system, which considerably restricts access to the services offered. Therefore, it is concluded that women must receive quality care, in a humanized and individualized manner from prenatal care to the postpartum period, with clarification of doubts and the rights that are guaranteed to them in this regard, nursing professionals have fundamental role in developing discussions on the topic during prenatal consultations, as well as in the development of conversation circles, courses and booklets to better guide and provide quality care. Obstetric care in the maternal network is a critical aspect of ensuring the health and well-being of pregnant women before, during and after birth. This network comprises the provision of health services at different levels, from primary care to specialized obstetric care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Caused by microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa or fungi, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) have as their main mode of transmission unprotected sexual intercourse with a previously infected person. In addition to this, there are other forms of STI transmission, called vertical transmission, which occurs during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding. The work process managed in infection control contextualizes actions that ask about how health professionals work through the care provided. It also allows the transmission of the values of the institution that provides the service, aiming at efficiency, effectiveness and efficacy in the service. The nurse has a primary role in the assistance offered to women, both through education, guiding them, and through assistance when they become infected with an STI, and it is important to inform them that they are transmitters of the disease and mainly carriers, and must use condoms to prevent prevent its spread. Promoting sexuality education is crucial to empowering women to make informed decisions about their sexual health. This includes information about prevention, symptoms and the importance of regular checkups. It is noteworthy that multidisciplinary participation in this health education process is essential. Addressing women's vulnerability to STIs requires a holistic approach that includes education, prevention, regular screening and appropriate treatment. Furthermore, it is essential to promote gender equality and empower women to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción. El aumento de la prevalencia de la obesidad infantil pone de manifiesto la necesidad de enseñar hábitos saludables a los niños, tanto a seguir una alimentación sana como ha promover las actividades físicas. Se ha comprobado que el momento idóneo para ello, es la edad preescolar ya que es el momento en el que los niños empiezan a tomar consciencia de su salud y a adquirir hábitos de vida. Material y métodos. Se ha realizado una búsqueda sistemática en las bases de datos WoS, Pubmed, Science Direct, SCOPUS, Wiley y FSTA. Se han seleccionado estudios experimentales en Español e Inglés, y publicados a partir del 2010. La calidad metodológica ha sido evaluada con la escala JADAD, seleccionando finalmente 36 artículos para realizar la revisión. Resultados. Las intervenciones educativas deben ir dirigidas tanto a los niños, como a los padres y a los profesores. Por un lado, son los padres los que eligen que dar de comer a los niños por lo que es necesario que tengan conocimientos sobre alimentación saludable, por otro lado, los profesores tienen una gran influencia sobre los comportamientos de los niño y, por último, los niños deben estar predispuestos a modificar sus rutinas. También se debe tener en cuenta la importancia de realizar actividades físicas para su salud y su capacidad motora, y con esto, la necesidad de reducir el tiempo dedicado a los medios electrónicos. Conclusión. Las mayoría de las intervenciones estudiadas tienen resultados positivos pero sólo a corto plazo. Consideramos que, para que las intervenciones tengan efecto a largo plazo se debe trabajar sobre todos los aspectos anteriormente descritos. Abstract Background.

The methodological quality was assessed with the Jadad scale, finally selecting 36 items for review. Results: Educational interventions have to be directed to both children and parents and teachers. Parents are who choose to feed children so it is necessary to have knowledge about healthy eating. Teachers have a great influence on the behaviour of the child and, finally, children should be predisposed to modify their routines. It is also important physical activity for health and motor skills, and reduce time spent on electronic media. Conclusions: The majority of the interventions studied have positive results but only short term. We believe that, for interventions have long-term effect should work on all aspects described above.

The appearance of the hygienist movement in the mid-nineteenth century, social and educational changes linked to the schooling process that took place in this century and the scientific study of childhood, developed at the turn of the century period, led to a growing concern for school hygiene. This article intends to describe the first sanitary and hygienic measures taken by both municipal authorities as by health and education authorities, on school population of Navarre at the time of a public system establishment of primary education. As in most local governments throughout Navarre Restoration, including Pamplona, the attention to the supply of primary education was dependent on hardship and limitations. The situation was even worse, with regard to hygienic-educational field by a shortage of institutions designed to relieve the poor health of schoolchildren in disadvantaged social classes. The first test for municipal authorities, as well as faculty and medical corps were cholera pandemics of 1855 and 1885. These and other epidemics had consequences that, as well as support and control, performed the first steps for the creation, years later, of the health-school inspection.

A melhoria da qualidade dos cuidados prestados à grávida e ao recém-nascido é uma das áreas de intervenção prioritária do Plano Nacional de Saúde. Embora se reconheça que as medidas introduzidas nos últimos anos têm contribuído para diminuir os valores da mortalidade materna e perinatal, é necessário referir, também, que continuam a ocorrer gravidezes não planeadas que, não raras vezes, resultam do início tardio, ou mesmo da ausência, da assistência pré-natal. Neste artigo, procuramos refletir sobre a assistência pré-natal no contexto de saúde reprodutiva, de forma a constituir um contributo para os enfermeiros que prestam uma assistência integral e humanizada às grávidas e às suas famílias. Concluímos que a assistência pré-natal engloba um conjunto de cuidados específicos dirigidos a um grupo vulnerável, constituindo uma área muito importante na avaliação dos cuidados de saúde primários.
