This study aimed to investigate risk factors associated with risky sexual behaviors (RSBs) and HIV seropositivity among students from four universities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Gender identity documentation is an important component of gender-affirming care, particularly for LGBTQIA+ adolescents who may be hesitant to disclose their gender identities due to fear of rejection or discrimination. Without family support, these adolescents face higher rates of suicide, depression, and anxiety. Despite both clinical relevance and the importance of providing inclusive health care services, currently, there is no national standard for collecting gender identity information within clinical settings.

Climate change is contributing to increasing rates of vector-borne diseases, affecting global population health. As the largest group of regulated health professionals, nurses play an integral role in climate-related health challenges. The purpose of this research study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of registered nurses in Canada related to climate sensitive vector-borne diseases.

Public health nurses (PHNs) occupy an important position in improving community health outcomes and the response to public health emergencies. However, China currently lacks a standardized PHN education system, resulting in an underskilled workforce unable to meet growing public health demands. To address this issue, a deeper understanding of the actual roles and training needs of PHNs from the perspective of frontline community health professionals is essential for developing a structured and effective educational framework.

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of prepregnancy obesity and overweight, and to identify a set of sociodemographic factors that could guide weight management interventions for women prior to conception.

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed weaknesses in healthcare systems regarding health literacy. Although involving individuals, families, and communities in healthcare decision-making improves their outcomes, their ability to interpret information depends on attention to health literacy and readability of materials. Nursing educators have an essential role in teaching students how to implement literacy-appropriate health education strategies. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education includes health literacy content in the domains, competencies, and sub-competencies. There is a dearth of literature that guides faculty to apply the Essentials related to health literacy. Grounded in the health literacy components of the Core Competencies, this paper presents traditional, artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced, and interprofessional education (IPE) teaching strategies and methods for evaluation to develop health literacy competency. This paper will be useful for faculty who desire to integrate the core competencies with innovative approaches to teach health literacy within the undergraduate nursing curricula, to address health literacy disparities, and promote equitable, positive individual outcomes.

Social media (SM) is deeply integrated into daily life, shaping behaviors, routines, and identities. Young women are recognized as heavy users and are particularly influenced by digital influencers for social connection, lifestyle inspiration, and decision-making.

Home nursing care is increasing in Italy due to chronic disease expansion and population aging. This study aimed to describe the types of home nursing activities performed in two home care settings and estimate the time dedicated to them.

To define the effect of environmental and child health education given to midwives and nurses working in primary health care services.

Misinformation, conspiracy theories, and myths rapidly spreading through social media and various news outlets can play a significant role in the increase of community-based vaccine hesitancy and refusal. This study, conducted after the conclusion of COVID-19 vaccination efforts, aimed to determine the potential impact of circulating COVID-19 vaccine myths and conspiracy theories in various news sources on vaccine hesitancy and refusal in the Turkish society during a future pandemic.

This study aimed to examine the relationship between parents' e-health literacy and attitudes toward childhood vaccination.

To evaluate midwifery students' knowledge and concerns about climate change, especially how it affects maternal and child health.

Climate change is intensifying the spread of vector-borne diseases through rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and the potential release of ancient pathogens from melting polar ice. Community health nurses (CHNs) play a vital role in helping communities adapt to these evolving health threats. This study aims to synthesize evidence on the link between climate change and vector-borne disease outbreaks and to propose a theoretical framework, the Climate Change Adaptation Theory (CCAT), that supports CHNs in leading community adaptation strategies.
