The Self-Care Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSE) is widely used to assess this competency. This study aimed to adapt and validate the SCSE in a Colombian population with HF.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 200 outpatients. Cultural adaptation of the SCSE was performed, and psychometric properties were evaluated, including feasibility, acceptability, structural validity, convergent validity, and validity based on external variables. Reliability was assessed using omega coefficients and test-retest analysis.ResultsThe theoretical structure was confirmed with adequate fit indices (CFI = 0.98; TLI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.057; SRMR = 0.047). Reliability was high (ω = 0.81). Test-retest stability was low to moderate (ICC = 0.57; CCC = 0.39). Convergent validity showed weak negative correlations with quality of life (ρ = -0.07 to -0.14) and moderate positive correlations with self-care (ρ = 0.44-0.51), with no meaningful association with functional class. Known-groups analysis showed differences only by sex, with a small effect size.ConclusionThe SCSE showed adequate structural validity and internal consistency in patients with HF. Associations with self-care and quality of life were consistent with theoretical expectations, although temporal stability was low to fair when considering the individual ICC, and known-groups validity was limited.","PeriodicalId":73240,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic health care international : the official journal of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses","volume":" ","pages":"15404153261487650"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149119371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Latino adults experience disproportionate CVD prevalence and structural barriers that may exacerbate loneliness, yet little is known about how age moderates the association between social support and loneliness in this population.MethodsThe 2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) provided data for 1,138 Latino adults aged 18 + with self-reported CVD. Loneliness was dichotomized as always/usually/sometimes versus rarely/never. Weighted multivariable logistic regressions evaluated associations between support, age, and loneliness, and predicted probabilities were estimated to examine age-specific effects.ResultsOverall, 53.1% of participants reported loneliness. Younger adults (18-34 years) had nearly fivefold higher odds of loneliness compared with older adults (55+ years). Urban residence and being widowed/divorced/separated were also associated with higher odds of loneliness. Younger adults had high predicted probabilities of loneliness even with frequent support, whereas older adults' loneliness increased markedly with lower support in interaction models.ConclusionLoneliness is prevalent among Latino adults with CVD, particularly in younger, urban, and socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. Interventions should be age- and context-sensitive, addressing structural and cultural factors in addition to enhancing social support.","PeriodicalId":73240,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic health care international : the official journal of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses","volume":" ","pages":"15404153261490123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149013409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there were significant programmatic challenges, including weak or limited signal range, poor internet speed, lack of privacy, minimal cybersecurity, and low awareness of telehealth services. Farm owners supported the program but expressed concerns about sustaining it without continued funding due to performance limitations and costs.ConclusionThese findings highlight the importance of sustainable, high-quality internet in rural farmworker housing and suggest a need for expanded support, improved performance, and greater education around tools such as telehealth to address inequities that agricultural communities face.","PeriodicalId":73240,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic health care international : the official journal of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses","volume":" ","pages":"15404153261475642"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148921964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review aims to examine and appraise the effectiveness of culturally tailored lifestyle modification interventions in this population. Methods: A review was conducted using seven databases for published studies between 2004 and July 2024 using PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The quality of studies was evaluated using the Effective Public Health Practice Project (EPHPP) tool. Results: Fourteen articles met criteria for inclusion. Interventions were delivered in-person in group and community settings, but varied in length, sample size, reporting of outcomes, and tailoring methods. All interventions were found to produce weight loss. Seven studies reported significant reductions in weight, eight in body mass index (BMI), and three in waist circumference. Across studies, the mean weight loss was -8.73 pounds, mean reduction in BMI units -1.85, and mean reduction in waist circumference -3.89 inches. Effective interventions included a bilingual and bicultural delivery, cultural modification of materials, incorporation of traditional Hispanic foods, and encouraged peer participation. Conclusions: Evidence demonstrates that culturally tailored lifestyle interventions are feasible, acceptable, and effective in producing weight loss and promoting healthier lifestyle practices among Hispanic American women. The findings of this review should be used to develop culturally relevant community programs and initiatives for the prevention and management of obesity among the population, providing rationale for further research to build upon the examined intervention strategies.","PeriodicalId":73240,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic health care international : the official journal of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses","volume":" ","pages":"153-171"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13443355/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145309970","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}

This study aims to compare the prevalence and likelihood of different forms of violence experienced during childhood, in the past 12 months, and across the lifetime. It also examines help-seeking behavior and violence reporting among women and girls aged 15 and older in Honduras, with a focus on differences between those with and without disabilities. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional analysis was conducted using secondary data from the 2022 Specialized National Survey on Violence Against Women and Girls, which included 5962 valid cases of Honduran women aged 15 and older. Prevalences, odds ratios, and chi-square tests were used to evaluate the relationship between disability status and experiences of violence. Results: Among girls and women with disabilities, 57.1% reported lifetime violence, compared to 53.7% without. They experienced higher rates of partner (40.4%), psychological (46.5%), physical (23.4%), and economic (29.6%) violence. Victimization often began in childhood, persisted across the lifespan, and prompted more frequent help-seeking. Conclusion: It is essential to create safe spaces and promote interventions to reduce stigma and vulnerability to violence among disabled women.","PeriodicalId":73240,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic health care international : the official journal of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses","volume":" ","pages":"133-142"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13443375/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145076695","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}

The questions were about HPV, transmission, prevention, and relation with genital warts and cervical cancer. Data presentation used absolute and relative frequency. Chi-Square or Fisher's Exact tests were applied to compare categorical variables. All statistical associations were set at a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. The median age of participants was 41.4 years old, with the majority being women. They were individuals with low monthly income and low educational levels, with more than half being illiterate or with only primary education. Knowledge about HPV was greater among young individuals and women were better informed about the HPV association to genital warts and HPV vaccination of their children. Most information about HPV was acquired through traditional media (TV/newspapers/radio). A better knowledge of HPV and its consequences may increase vaccination rates and reduce cancer cases associated with this virus.","PeriodicalId":73240,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic health care international : the official journal of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses","volume":" ","pages":"172-180"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145350502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
