The study aims to generate empirical evidence on nursing workload in intensive care units in Colombia, considering differences in team composition based on qualifications, skills, and competencies (Skill Mix).Objective: To compare the workload and distribution of nursing activities in two intensives cares units with different Nursing Care Models based on the application of the TISS-28.Materials and methods: Quantitative and retrospective study with data from medical records of patients treated between 2018 and 2020 in Medellín. The TISS-28 was calculated upon admission and SAPS-3 was used to control for confounding variables. Mean and proportion comparison tests were used according to the type of variable and data distribution pattern.Results: The nurses in both ICUs had a patient assignment higher than indicated by the TISS-28. Surgical patients, those with vasoactive drugs, transfusions, adverse events, or those who died, had longer care times. The adverse events increased proportionally with the TISS-28 level.Discussion: Key elements include the relationship between care safety and staff qualification, experience and workload; the missed nursing care; and the undervaluation of care as a public good.Conclusion: It was identified that in both ICUs there is a higher workload for nurses regarding the time available for activities and patients. The majority of care provided by the nursing assistants in the ICU2-Assistants do not correspond with their level of training and legal responsibility.","PeriodicalId":43234,"journal":{"name":"Revista Cuidarte","volume":"16 3","pages":"e4510"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12858415/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147277409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identifying associated factors may contribute to improving nursing care planning.Objective: To determine predictors associated with nursing workload in ICU settings using a sample of records collected before and during the first peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.Materials and methods: This was an analytical cross-sectional study. A total of 97 ICU patient records were included. Descriptive and multivariate analyses were performed using robust linear regression, with the primary outcome being workload measured with the Nursing Activities Score (NAS).Results: The mean age was 57.67 ± 17.78 years, and 68.04% (n=66) were men. Statistically significant differences were observed between the pre-pandemic period and the first peak of the pandemic for variables such as disease category, ICU type, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, and number of nurses (p<0.001). A difference in median NAS values was observed, with 60.85 (Q1-Q3: 51.8-68.25) during the pre-pandemic period, compared with 183.40 (Q1-Q3: 149.30-204.40) during the first peak of the pandemic (p=0.001).Discussion: The workload levels identified in this study are consistent with those reported in similar studies. However, the specific scenario examined has scarcely been described in the existing literature.Conclusion: The pandemic increased the nursing staff's workload threefold. A weak, direct linear correlation was identified between workload and SOFA score. The pandemic year and the presence of cardiopulmonary conditions were identified as workload predictors.","PeriodicalId":43234,"journal":{"name":"Revista Cuidarte","volume":"16 3","pages":"e4255"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12858413/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147277389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Salvadorean Nursing students were assessed using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy-Health Professions Students (JSE-HPS) and the Engineering, Ecological and Adaptive (EEA) resilience scale. Psychometric analyses (confirmatory factor analysis, reliability, and invariance) were conducted, and prediction was assessed using structural equations.Results: The compliance of the model of both constructs and the reliability of the data were verified. Some dimensions of resilience positively predicted the dimensions of empathy, while others predicted them negatively.Discussion: Ecological resilience and engineering resilience positively predicted all the dimensions of empathy. However, adaptive resilience negatively predicted empathy, suggesting that students may lack sufficiently developed adaptive traits to prevent declines in \"compassionate care\" and \"standing in the patient's shoes.\" Therefore, their ability to connect emotionally and understand the patient's situation is hampered by a deficit of the traits that support adaptation to new situations.Conclusion: Empathy and resilience education cannot be independent of each other. On the contrary, resilience exerts a protective effect that enables the free expression of empathy that students have developed over the course of their lives.","PeriodicalId":43234,"journal":{"name":"Revista Cuidarte","volume":"16 3","pages":"e4768"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12858414/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147277371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Macrolide resistance and the presence of the ermA, ermB, ermT, and mef(A/E) genes were evaluated through phenotypic and molecular tests.Results: Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent species at 58.33% (28), followed by Staphylococcus epidermidis at 31.25% (15). A total of 47.92% (23) of the strains showed phenotypic resistance to azithromycin, and 81.25% (39) displayed genotypic resistance, with ermB being the most prevalent at 58.33% (28) and ermT at 45.83% (22), with no detection of mef(A/E).Discussion: These findings reveal a high prevalence of macrolide resistance, which may be related to the extensive use of these antibiotics during the pandemic.Conclusion: The increase in macrolide resistance among Gram-positive bacteria represents a critical public health challenge, especially in the context of pandemics.
