RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In 2015, the majority of U.S. American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN)-accredited schools of nursing resided on campuses without smoke-free policies. PURPOSE: To determine the presence of smoke-free policies at AACN-accredited after resolutions from AACN and the American Academy of Nursing, and the creation of online resources. METHODS: Smoke-free policies (2015-2017) were determined through listings on the ANRF College Campus Policy Database© and survey responses from nursing deans. RESULTS: Smoke-free policies for 689 schools of nursing increased from 36% in 2015 to 91% in 2017. There were no significant differences by nursing program types or geographic area. Twenty percent of deans reported using the resources, with over 1700-page views. CONCLUSION: Smoke-free policies increased after support from two national nursing organizations. Learning in a smoke-free environment should be an expectation for nursing students to protect their own health, and to support their future critical role in tobacco control.

Nurses will play a crucial role in responding to a public health emergency resulting from nuclear war or other large-scale release of radiation into the environment and in supporting the National Health Security Strategy. Schools of nursing are ultimately responsible for developing a competent nursing workforce prepared to assess a population's public health emergency needs and respond to these low-frequency but high-impact events. This responsibility includes the provision of specific content and training regarding how to respond and care for patients and communities in the event of a nuclear or radiation emergency. To date, however, there has been a lack of empirical evidence focusing specifically on nursing schools' capacity to prepare nurses for radiation emergencies and nuclear events, as well as perception of risk. This study employed a cross-sectional survey administered to a nationwide sample of nursing school administrators and faculty to assess content, faculty expertise, planning, and perception of risk related to radiation emergencies and nuclear events.

El presente trabajo forma parte de una investigación histórica a la que se le aplicó un corte descriptivo. En un primer momento se abordaron diferentes hechos de la historia de la enfermería en Matanzas, desde 1850 hasta la primera mitad del siglo xx. La información se recolectó en el Archivo Histórico de la ciudad, la biblioteca Gener y del Monte, el Centro de Documentación, el Museo Palacio de Junco, en entrevistas a enfermeras e historiadores, desde septiembre del 2015 hasta abril del 2016. Ello nos permitió obtener información relacionada con la fundación de los Hospitales en Matanzas y las actividades de Enfermería que en ellos se desarrollaban. Se hizo una búsqueda de la presencia de las religiosas en los hospitales, fundamentalmente de Matanzas y los términos municipales principales; entre ellas se encontraban las Hermanas de la Caridad, las que desarrollaron actividades de enfermería en hogares de ancianos, hospitales y en visitas preventivas, y más tarde las Siervas de María. Se constató el surgimiento de la enfermería profesional en Cuba, a partir de la intervención estadounidense. En Matanzas, se crea la primera Escuela de Enfermeras en 1900. En la primera década del siglo xx, fungieron como superintendentes las estadounidenses Miss Eugenie Habbard en 1900 y Miss Mary McCLloud, en 1902. Se ofrecen algunos datos preliminares, ya que se trata de una investigación histórica que tiene el objetivo de dejar constancia del interesante legado histórico en Matanzas desde 1850 hasta nuestros días (AU).
The current work is a part of a descriptive historic research. Several facts of the history of nursing in Matanzas were dealt with in a first moment, from 1850 until de first half on the 20th century. The information was collected in the Historical Record Office of the province, the library "Gener y del Monte", the Documentation Centre, and the Museum Palacio de Junco, in interviews to nurses and historians, from September 2015 to April 2016. It allowed us to obtain information on the foundation of the hospitals in Matanzas and the nursing activities developed in them. A search was made in regard to the presence of nuns in the hospitals, mainly in Matanzas and the most important municipalities; among them were found the Sisters of Charity, who performed their nursing activities in old people's nursing homes, hospitals and preventive visits, and later the Servants of Mary. It was stated the begining of the professional nursing in Cuba from the times of the USA intervention. In Matanzas, the School of Nurses was created in 1900. In the first decade of the 20th century Miss Eugenie Habbard acted as supervisor in 1900 and Miss Mary McCloud in 1902. We offer several preliminary data because this is a historical research having as an objective leaving some token of the interesting historical legacy of nursing in Matanzas from 1850 to the present days (AU).

Dada la posición clave de la enfermería en la atención primaria de la salud, en este trabajo se examinan los programas de estudio de la Licenciatura en Enfermería de instituciones educativas públicas en la Ciudad de México, para establecer si cuentan con los contenidos para poner en práctica las recomendaciones actuales sobre alimentación infantil. Se presenta un análisis documental que contrasta los programas de estudio con las dos normas oficiales referidas al tema. En un total de once sedes, nueve instituciones públicas ofrecen la Licenciatura en Enfermería, mediante siete programas de estudio que difieren en los mapas curriculares, denominaciones y contenidos temáticos, con bibliografía insuficiente y desactualizada. Se recomienda hacer equivalentes los programas, actualizar la bibliografía e incluir las normas oficiales pertinentes y la literatura internacional, para enfrentar los desafíos de la modernidad y la globalización en la temática alimentaria de la población infantil.
Given the key position of the nursing profession in primary health care, in this article we examine the nursing degree curricula in public institutions in Mexico City to establish whether these programs of study include the topics necessary to implement the current recommendations regarding infant feeding. We perform a documentary analysis that compares the nursing curricula to the two official regulations existing on the subject. In a total of eleven locations, nine public institutions offer undergraduate degrees in nursing. There are seven programs of study in existence, with different structures, course names, and thematic contents among them and all with insufficient and outdated bibliography. We recommend that the programs be made more equivalent, that the bibliography be updated, and that the relevant official standards and international literature be included, so as to better meet the challenges of modernity and globalization in the subject of infant feeding.

The findings of six previously conducted studies indicated that the HESI (E) was highly accurate in predicting NCLEX-RN success. The purpose of this study-the seventh study to investigate the validity of the E-was to examine the accuracy of three parallel versions of the Ein predicting licensure success and to describe program practices regarding E benchmark scores, remediation programs, and retesting policies. The findings of this study again indicated that the E was highly accurate in predicting NCLEX-RN success. Additionally, all three versions of the E were found to have a predictive accuracy above 90%. The most common E benchmark score designated by faculty at the participating schools was 850, and most schools required students to retest with different versions of the E until the faculty-designated E benchmark score was achieved. Remediation seemed to be effective in raising students' E scores, and it was recommended that future research investigate the effectiveness of specific remediation strategies.

Objetivo Analizar la formación académica que reciben los estudiantes de medicina y enfermería sobre el cáncer de mama (CaMa) durante el trascurso de su carrera universitaria. Materiales y Métodos Estudio exploratorio realizado en 2009. Basado en entrevistas semi-estructuradas a actores clave y revisión documental. Población de estudio: 199 Facultades/Escuelas de medicina y 108 Escuelas/Institutos de enfermería. Unidad de análisis: plan de estudios. Resultados En 16,8 % de los planes de estudio de medicina y 6,3 % de enfermería se encontró información específica de contenidos sobre CaMa. La capacitación que reciben los médicos es predominantemente desarrollada por las áreas biomédica y clínica y en menor proporción en el área socio-médica. En enfermería los temas que más se desarrollan son en áreas comunitarias, abordando contenidos de promoción de la salud y prevención de la enfermedad (estilos de vida saludable e identificación de mujeres con alto riesgo de padecer CaMa). Discusión Se encontró escasa evidencia sobre entrenamiento específico para la detección y atención del cáncer de mama en los planes de estudio. Por los resultados encontrados es necesario fortalecer los currículos para formar a los futuros profesionales con capacidades para trabajar en la solución de los problemas y necesidades específicos de salud de la población particularmente en acciones de prevención primaria y secundaria.
Objective Analyzing formal knowledge about breast cancer (BC) issues that medical and nursing students receive from different syllabuses and courses during their undergraduate studies. Materials and Methods This exploratory study was conducted in 2009; it was based on semi-structured interviews applied to key stakeholders and complemented by an analysis of their undergraduate courses. The study population consisted of 199 Faculties and Schools of Medicine and 108 Schools and Colleges of Nursing and the unit of analysis consisted of the syllabuses for the undergraduate courses. Results 16.8 % of the medical courses and 6.3 % of the nursing courses had specific information about BC. Medical students predominantly received their training in biomedical and clinical areas and the socio-medical area to a lesser extent. The issues in nursing courses was mainly focused (in community areas) on promoting health and preventing disease (healthy lifestyles and recognition of women at high risk regarding BC). Discussion Little evidence was found that medicine and nursing syllabuses contain issues related to BC. Medical and nursing curricula should be strengthened to improve professional skills and abilities related to BC to solve the affected population's problems and health needs, particularly regarding primary and secondary prevention.

The aim was to identify a set of competences for the Flemish academic Master of Nursing and Obstetrics degree that answer perceived needs in health care. The competency model was to demonstrate a degree of consensus among key nurses. The study was conducted in all Flemish hospitals registered to have 400 beds or more. Head nurses of surgery, geriatrics and intensive care units were eligible to participate, as well as one nurse from administration per hospital. A two round Delphi process allowed participants to comment on items identified in an analysis of existing international competency profiles of master level nurses and adapted to the Flemish context. Competences agreed to by 90% of the respondents were considered to have consensus. Fifteen out of 19 eligible hospitals were recruited in the study, 45 nurses participated in the Delphi panel. Consensus was reached on 31 competences that can be assigned to 5 nurse's roles: nursing expert, innovator, researcher, educator and manager. The resulting competency profile is in accordance with published profiles for similar programs. The reported study demonstrates a practical method to develop a consensus competency model for an academic master program based on the input of key individuals in mainstream nursing.

Since 1996, the accuracy of the HESI Exit Exam, or E(2) in predicting NCLEX success has been scientifically investigated. Five previously conducted studies determined that the E(2) was between 96.36% and 98.30% accurate in predicting NCLEX-RN success (N = 27037). However, all five of these studies examined the accuracy of the E(2) in predicting NCLEX success based on the first administration of the E(2).This study (N = 10147), which examined the predictive accuracy of parallel versions of the E(2), found that there was no significant difference in predictive accuracy between the first (96.44%) and second (92.94%) versions of the E(2), but the third (82.50%) version was significantly less accurate in predicting NCLEX-RN success than were the first two Eversions. The authors conjectured that students taking the E(2) for the third time were at greater risk for NCLEX-RN failure than were those who successfully met the school's designated benchmark score the first or second time they took the E(2).
