Objectives: The concept of health education has traditionally focused on enabling people to change unhealthy behaviours and lifestyles. Although, at the theoretical level, there exist definitions of the concept, it remains complex and ambiguous. Furthermore, nurses often confuse the concept with other related terms, such as health information or health promotion. The aim here is to report a concept analysis of health education and elucidate a current definition. Design: Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis. Data sources: A systematic search was conducted using PubMed and CINAHL for articles written in English or Spanish, published between 1986 and 2017. A manual search was performed, and grey literature was also reviewed. A pre-determined template of study inclusion-related questions assisted the process. Review methods: Rodgers' evolutionary method guided the narrative analysis. The attributes of health education, as well as its antecedents, consequences, related terms and contextual bases were extracted and synthesized. Results: Based on the review of 31 studies on health education, the attributes are a learning process, health-oriented, multidimensional, person-centred and partnership. The antecedents are professional awareness of health education, training of health professionals, available resources, individual's willingness to act, and health as an individual's priority in life. The consequences are the increase in knowledge, skills and/or attitudes; ...

Background: Although beliefs, self-efficacy and intention to quit have been identified as proximal predictors of initiation or quitting in young adults, few studies have studied how these variables change after a smoking cessation intervention.
Purpose: To evaluate the changes in the beliefs, self-efficacy and intention to avoid smoking, and determine if these are potential mediators in quitting, following a smoking cessation intervention, aimed at tobacco-dependent college students.
Design: Single-blind, pragmatic randomized controlled trial with a 6-month follow-up.
Method: A total of 255 smoker students were recruited from September 2013 to February 2014. Participants were randomly assigned to intervention group (n=133) or to control group (n=122). The students in the intervention group received a multi-component intervention based on the Theory of Triadic Influence. The strategies of this program consisted of a 50-minute motivational interview conducted by a nurse and online self-help material. The follow-up included a reinforcing e-mail and group therapy. The smoking-related Self-efficacy, Belief and Intention scale was used to assess outcomes.
Results: Intention to quit smoking is partial moderator explaining 36.2% of the total effects in smoking cessation incidence. At 6-month follow-up, the differences in the mean scores of self-efficacy and intention related to stopping smoking were significantly higher in the intervention than in the control group.
Conclusions: A multicomponent intervention based on the Theory of Triadic Influence, tailored to college students positively increased the self-efficacy to avoid smoking, and the intention to quit, suggesting intention as potential mediator of quitting.

Los cuidados al final de la vida se ofrecen en una variedad de contextos en todo el mundo, incluyendo los centros residenciales. El objetivo de este trabajo es profundizar en las necesidades de la familia de un paciente terminal institucionalizado en un centro residencial. Para ello, se presenta un caso clínico que, junto con la evidencia científica, nos ayuda a determinar cuáles son las necesidades de la familia en este momento. El análisis del caso se estructura en cuatro subtemas: necesidad de contacto y comunicación entre la familia y los profesionales sanitarios, necesidad de presencia médica, necesidad de presencia enfermera y necesidades emocionales y sociales. Este trabajo evidencia la importancia de desarrollar, por parte del profesional de enfermería, un plan de identificación y atención de las necesidades familiares. Este enfoque familiar permitirá proporcionar una asistencia de mayor calidad, que derivará en una mejora de la salud de los miembros de la familia.
