- Assertiveness in family nursesPublication . Machado, Dora; Almeida, Assunção; Brás, Manuel Alberto; Vilela, António Carlos LopesAssertiveness is a crucial social skill for effective and efficient communication in nursing (Montezeli et al., 2018). At the professional level, its lack can generate conflicts, frustrations and loss of essential information, compromising the care process (Silva, 2018). In contrast, becoming more assertive contributes to the success of the therapeutic relationship with users and families, by promoting: greater recognition and respect for the nurse as a person and professional; greater satisfaction in the performance of tasks and in the relationship with the team and the user; and also greater security for the user (Haladin et al., 2015; Nakamura et al., 2017; Omura et al., 2017). In addition, it can protect nurses from the daily pressure to which they are exposed and from situations that trigger stress and depression (Alves, 2016). The World Health Organization (WHO, 2016) recognizes assertive communication as essential in the global challenge for patient safety.
- Safe storage of medicines at home: a systematic reviewPublication . Pereira, Olívia R.; Sousa, Ana Francisca da Silva; Monteiro, Ana Margarida Vieira; Teixeira, Sérgio Luís Carneiro; Taboada Costa, XavierInadequate home storage of medicines compromises their stability and increases the risk of child access, storage of unused or expired medicines, and improper disposal [1–3]. to evaluate, through a systematic review, home medicines storage practices, focusing on safety and associated risks. A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, and the search was performed in the PubMed database between February and May 2025. The initial query retrieved 369,768 results for the keyword “safety”, which was reduced to 93 when combining “medicines” and “home storage.” After screening, 87 articles were excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria: cross-sectional design, focus on household storage, involvement of community-based populations, last 15-year publication window. Six studies included in the final review. Frequent inappropriate medicines storage locations, such as kitchens and bathrooms, was reported. In many cases, were stored within reach of children and expired and unused medicines were found in more than half of the households, and improper disposal practices were common. Higher levels of education and training in health-related fields were associated with safer storage and disposal practices. Conclusions: Improper storage and disposal of medicines are widespread among households. Educational interventions, public awareness campaigns, pharmacy-take back medicines programs, and greater involvement of healthcare professionals, are essential to promote safe use and proper disposal of medicines in household settings.
