theme called "from cancer to birth, reformulating the disease through spirituality" and the subthemes: "spirituality as a source of strength to face the disease", "having faith in a supreme being who guides doctors, a way to lose the fear of death and disease", "Living again after being condemned to die," and "Transcending from cancer to birth". It is concluded that transcending from cancer to birth through spirituality gives colorectal cancer patients the strength to face the disease, lose the fear of death, and give them hope to live again after being condemned to die.
Introduction: Women during their motherhood are vulnerable to suffering from injustices in their health care processes; subject on which more research is needed. Objective: To interpret the tensions related to epistemic injustices in maternity health care from a bioethical perspective. Methodology: Qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. It was attended by 12 women. The information was collected through in-depth interviews and the analysis of the information with the Atlas TI 8.0 software applying open and axial coding. Results: 240 codes were identified that constituted 37 subcategories and 8 central categories: difficulties in access to health, problems of humanization, with privacy, with autonomy, in communication and language, in pain management, dissatisfaction with the quality of health care, in addition to the implications for government entities and hospital institutions. Conclusions: Women still experience tensions related to epistemic injustices in maternity health care that generate inequalities; these forms of injustice must be recognized and on these work in the generation of deep social transformations at the level of macrobioethics-global-, mesobioethics-national states-and microbioethics-clinical bioethics-.
Objective: To interpret the lived experiences of the subjective world in women violated by their partner. Methodology: Qualitative study based on the Theory of Communicative Action, carried out with 14 women who attended the Healthy Relationships Workshop implemented by the Secretary of Health of Aguascalientes. A semi-structured interview was applied consisting of 7 questions about the subjective world. Results: 20 codes were obtained that allowed defining the following phenomenon: Acceptance of violence as a lifestyle, without understanding why to allow abuse, which gives rise to feelings of physical, emotionaland family self-destruction. Conclusions: Society has built a false cultural equality between men and women; however, the ideology of family unity has prevented women from empowering themselves and deciding their way of life, this is transmitted to their families and they in turn educate women in such a way, so that they accept "life that they had to live".
The training of nursing professionals traditionally includes theory and structured practice in hospital and/or outpatient settings, in order to develop the skills necessary to interpret, intervene, and care for patients. This paper describes the Clinical Practice Learning Experiences of Interns in the Bachelor of Nursing program at the University of Colima for the 2024-2025 period. This is a qualitative study with a social phenomenology approach. Information was collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Of 110 subjects, the sample consisted of nine participants in their ninth semester who are performing constitutional social service. The results reveal the experiences, authentic learning, clinical scenarios, skills, and contact with clinical faculty as the main learning experiences during the clinical practice. We can conclude that the experiences are divided into two moments. In the first, students perceive the internship as an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills in a real environment. However, at the beginning, this vision was accompanied by emotions such as fear and anxiety, reflecting insecurity in the face of the demands of the clinical setting and expectations of technical learning and adaptation to new responsibilities. In the second stage, participants value the internship as a transformative experience, where they acquired technical skills such as the handling of medical equipment and socio-emotional skills such as empathy and conflict resolution. Likewise, the study highlights areas of opportunity that can be addressed or reinforced during the course of the degree program in classroom settings, both in terms of technical professional skills (such as catheterization, taking vital signs, pharmacology, Pap smears, and infusion pump management, among others) and cross-cutting skills associated with the development of social-emotional skills to deal with certain challenging attitudes encountered on a daily basis.
This editorial reflects on the kitchen as an essential space for domestic care in a world where haste and urbanization threaten to empty everyday life of its meaning. In the face of predictions that by 2050 homes will no longer have kitchens, it is argued that this space is not just another room, but the heart of the home, where connections with the world are woven and where caring becomes a radical act of resistance and humanity. The kitchen holds the wisdom of our roots and the history of the women who, for generations, have cared for families while nourishing both bodies and souls. Renouncing it is a symptom of the transformation of our ways of inhabiting, forgetting that the city itself was born from working the land and that the home is a place of welcome, not only for humans but for all forms of life. By sustaining intimacy and care, the home connects us to who we are, and its hospitality must be defended against the commodification of time and the loss of community bonds. Faced with a planet increasingly turned into a city, the home must become a space of expanded care, reminding us that the earth does not belong to us, but that we live in and through it. Recovering the kitchen as a space for gathering, sharing knowledge, and everyday care is key to resisting social homogenization and contemporary emptiness, allowing us to return to the rituals and values that sustain life. In this way, the homes of tomorrow can continue to be spaces where everyday happiness is built through care.
