Lights and shadows in the implementation of community action for health
CONCLUSIONS: Participatory processes have demonstrated their ability to reposition the community as an essential part of the healthcare system. It would be interesting to use a measurement tool for participation in all community health actions, both to guide their design and planning and to assess the depth of participation and its impact on the process. Enhancing community action expectations for health in the near future involves promoting a community-oriented approach in primary care and intersectoral collaboration, which requires a significant institutional and policy commitment.PMID:38608387 | DOI:10.1016/j.gaceta.202...

Social inequalities, advanced maternal age, and birth weight. Evidence from a population-based study in Spain

Gac Sanit. 2024 Mar 19:S0213-9111(24)00023-2. doi: 10.1016/j.gaceta.2024.102376. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe nursing shortage is a multi-causal phenomenon that affects all countries and currently a global concern. The shortage of nurses jeopardizes the sustainability of health systems and the population health outcomes. Spain has historically had no difficulties in attracting new generations of nurses. The shortage of nurses is caused by the precarious working conditions and lack of professional development that have led to episodes of high international migration and abandonment of the profession. In this paper we f...
