    Introduction: The development of Advanced Practice Nursing roles in Emergency Care is crucial due to the growing demand for healthcare services, driven by the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare systems, and the need for cost-effective solutions amid workforce shortages in various healthcare professions. Aim: To establish a well-defined competency profile for Advanced Practice Nursing in emergency care using the Delphi method, ensuring that the identified competencies are relevant, clearly articulated, and systematically structured for effective practice in urgent and emergency settings. Methodology: A mixed-methods design, structured in three phases, was implemented to develop a competency profile for Advanced Practice Nursing in emergency care in Spain. The first phase utilized qualitative focus groups with experienced nurses to identify foundational competencies. The second phase applied a modified Delphi method with a panel of 42 experts to refine and validate these competencies through iterative feedback and consensus-building. Finally, a quantitative approach was employed, incorporating statistical techniques such as the Content Validity Index and Cronbach's alpha to ensure the clarity, coherence, and relevance of the competency items. Results: The study identified eight competency units, comprising 17 competency criteria and 99 descriptors, of which 25 correspond to various competency units. Conclusions: The validated competency units, criteria, and descriptors serve as a cornerstone for establishing a comprehensive Advanced Practice Nursing in Emergency Care framework. This framework plays a crucial role in standardizing practices, improving care quality, and ensuring that nurses are well-equipped to address the complex challenges of emergency settings.

    Introduction Shoulder pain is a common reason for physiotherapy consultations, and the high prevalence of rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP) calls for novel approaches. Immersive virtual reality (IVR) offers an innovative treatment option to reduce pain, improve mobility and function in RCRSP. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of combining IVR with standard treatment versus standard treatment alone on clinical variables, clinimetric measures, and biomarkers in individuals with chronic RCRSP. Materials and methods A single-blind, multicentre randomized clinical trial will be conducted. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: the control group will undergo a three-month exercise program, while the intervention group will receive an IVR program for the first month, followed by the same exercise program for the control group during second and third months. Clinical, clinimetric, and biomarker variables will be assessed at baseline and at follow-ups at 1, 2, and 3 months. Results This study will shed light on the effectiveness of the combined program of immersive virtual reality with exercise and exercise program alone in chronic RCRSP patients. Measurements of clinical, clinimetric, and biomarker variables will help to explore how these interventions may influence this clinical population within a comprehensive perspective. Conclusions This study protocol outlines a novel approach to managing chronic rotator cuff-related shoulder pain by integrating IVR with exercise-based physiotherapy. The results will provide valuable insights into the additive effects of IVR on variables such as pain, function, psychosocial factors and biological markers, potentially informing future rehabilitation strategies and enhancing patient outcomes in musculoskeletal care.

    Effectiveness of non-pharmacological methods in reducing pain in pediatric patients and the role of nursing. Systematic review
    (2026) Pérez-Pozuelo, Juan Manuel; Hernández Iglesias, Sonsoles; Pereira-Afonso, Mónica Raquel; Checa-Peñalver, Abel; García-Valdivieso, Inmaculada; López-González, Ángel; Gómez-Cantarino, Sagrario; Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud
    Introduction: The prevalence of pediatric pain has increased and is a leading cause of hospital attendance. Non-pharmacological treatments for pain relief in pediatrics are experiencing a boom. Methodology: Systematic review, following the quality guidelines of the PRISMA 2020 declaration. Previously determined inclusion and exclusion criteria were followed for the selection of studies. Results: The use of the vibrating and cold bee combined with a distractor is the most useful method, with virtual reality being the ideal distractor for the palliation of pediatric pain. The role of the nurse is essential to detect pain, choose the analgesia method and administer it. Discussion: The non-pharmacological techniques proposed and studied according to the selection of articles are useful in the reduction of pediatric pain according to the scales used in each study.

    Introduction: PRP is a rare entity of unknown etiopathogenesis. Lack of management guidelines makes it a challenge for clinicians. Objective: To add our experience to increase evidence about PRP. Methods: We performed a retrospective, descriptive and multicentric study of 65 patients with PRP, being the largest European case series of patients with PRP. Results: PRP was more frequent in male patients with an average age of 51 years, but erythrodermic forms presented in older patients (average age 61 years). Six (75%) paediatric patients and ten (60%) non-erythrodermic adults controlled their disease with topical corticosteroids. On the contrary, 26 (68%) erythrodermic patients required biologic therapy as last and effective therapy line requiring an average of 6.5 months to achieve complete response. Conclusion: Our study showed a statistical difference in terms of outcome and response to treatment between children or patients with limited disease and patients who develop erythroderma.

    Con la promulgación de la pandemia por el virus SARS-CoV-2, todas las personas alrededor del mundo vieron interrumpidas sus rutinas y hábitos de forma abrupta. El confinamiento decretado a raíz de esta también ha podido alterar de forma significativa los estilos de vida de la población, que vio interrumpidas sus jornadas laborales, de estudio, oportunidades de ocio y contacto social, actividad física en el exterior, etc. Considerando que la población universitaria representa un grupo clave para las intervenciones en promoción de la salud y prevención, debido a que se encuentran en una etapa crítica de consolidación de sus hábitos y estilos de vida, resulta indispensable analizar a profundidad cómo la pandemia por Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) ha impactado en sus dinámicas cotidianas. Este grupo no solo enfrentó cambios significativos en sus rutinas académicas, sino también en su interacción social, un aspecto fundamental para su desarrollo emocional y psicológico.Se comprobó que la pandemia ha ocasionado efectos negativos en el estado de salud y la calidad de vida que percibe el alumnado universitario, al igual que en su calidad del sueño, consumo de tabaco y otras sustancias. Asimismo, se comprobó una alta sintomatología ansiosa-depresiva y gran preocupación en gran parte de la muestra estudiada. Por otro lado, también realizaron más actividad física, llevaron una dieta algo más saludable y consumieron menos alcohol desde este período. Por tanto, es innegable el efecto que ha tenido la pandemia para los estilos de vida de esta población.
