Introduction: Nursing interventions in pregnant women exposed to psychoactive substances in Latin America, stands as a critical challenge. This phenomenon, marked by the coexistence of pregnancy and substance use, poses significant health challenges. Research questions: To identify the prevalence, associated factors, complications, therapeutic approach, and nursing interventions in pregnant women who use psychoactive substances in Latin America. Methodology: This research is framed as a literature review due to the nature of the type of research. The bibliographic sources published between 2019 and 2023 were consulted in specialized health databases, including Scopus, Dianlet, PubMed, Readilat, ResearchGate, SciELO, and Science Direct through search techniques. Results: The prevalence of psychoactive substance use has a mean of 32.1%, in which alcohol is considered the most common. Factors associated with drug use highlight the significant influence of a disadvantaged socioeconomic environment. The complications during pregnancy are prenatal exposure and neurological problems, and a comprehensive therapeutic approach is required, through the combination of individualized counselling, detoxification programs, and opioid replacement therapy. Nursing interventions during pregnancy focus on different aspects, such as education about hazards, emotional support, early identification of hazards, and promotion of healthy habits. Conclusion: Nursing intervention is key to addressing this issue, where the variability in prevalence rates reflects the diversity of influential factors. Nurses play an essential role in providing comprehensive care to pregnant women.

(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Alvarado Armijos , Erika; Torres Moscoso, Amanda; 1104829070
Child abuse is a worldwide mental health problem, characterized by intentional harm or mistreatment of a child under 18 years of age, bringing with it consequences, which currently affect society and mainly the area of academic performance of this population. Therefore, the attribution of studies regarding this problem is of utmost importance. This research aimed to analyze the effects of child abuse on the academic performance of boys and girls. Articles available in different databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Redalyc, SciELO, and PubMed were considered, using the Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT for the search, and keywords in Spanish such as child abuse, effects, and academic performance. Subsequently, the articles were selected according to the research objective, excluding those that did not contain relevant information. Through the analysis of these articles, it was concluded that girls are more likely than boys to receive child abuse, which has an impact on the correct learning process of a minor, especially on academic performance. Additionally, it presents consequences, such as the presence of disorders (post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, substance use, difficulty concentrating, presence of dissocial behaviors, and hostility, among others). These consequences can be seen in more than 50% of boys and girls who are victims of mistreatment either in their homes or schools.

Introduction: Thyroid cancer is characterized by increasing mortality rates in recent years, with a higher incidence among females. Major risk factors include obesity, and genetic and socioeconomic factors stand out. Critical post-surgical complications can occur in elderly patients. Drug and surgical procedures can improve a patient's quality of life during treatment. Nursing interventions are essential for the patient's well-being, which the lack of protocols in thyroid cancer patient care may compromise. Research questions: To identify the prevalence, risk factors, complications, therapeutic approaches, and nursing interventions in thyroid cancer patients globally. Methodology: This research is framed as a literature review; due to the type of research, the bibliographic sources consulted include specialized health databases: ScienceDirect, PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS, and SciELO. Results and Discussion: Thyroid cancer is an increasing pathological condition due to its multifactorial nature. Early detection and multidisciplinary therapeutic approaches determine the prognosis, as well as the occurrence of complications that could negatively impact the course of the disease. Conclusions: Nursing interventions play a crucial role in favorable outcomes; it can be affirmed that implementing strategies within the nursing role, such as education, is crucial.

Propuesta de Biocorredor de conectividad entre la Laguna Busa, San Martín y Zhogra, Cantones Girón y San Fernando

Anthropogenic activities constitute a significant risk to lacustrine ecosystems and their services, emphasizing the need to propose conservation and restoration measures. This study was conducted in the Busa, San Martín, and Zhogra lagoons, suggesting the establishment of ecological connectors to facilitate species movement and promote biodiversity in fragmented landscapes. This work mainly aims to analyze water quality using the Water Quality Index of the National Sanitation Foundation (WQI- NSF) method in the lagoons and identify prevalent human activities in the surrounding areas. Based on this, the study area was analyzed using ArcGIS software to delineate core areas, including native forests, shrublands, and herbaceous vegetation zones. From this, sustainable land management strategies are recommended, such as land use regulation, preservation of vulnerable ecosystems, and passive and active restoration efforts to ensure the functionality, structure, and resilience of areas designated as bio-corridors. In this way, the objective is to safeguard biodiversity and provide valuable ecosystem services such as climate regulation, water and soil conservation, ecotourism, and environmental education.
