No full textObjective. Understand the social processes experienced by nursing professionals and the meanings underlying autonomy in adult Intensive Care Units in the city of Cartagena (Colombia).
Methods. A qualitative study with a grounded theory approach was conducted. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were carried out with nursing professionals, and the analysis was based on the coding technique proposed by Strauss & Corbin.
Results. Of the respondents, fourteen were female and one was male, with ages ranging from 23 to 57 years. Experience in intensive care units ranged from 1 to 28 years, and none had postgraduate studies. After thematic analysis, the central category was obtained from four categories: adaptation process, applicability of autonomy exercise, building autonomous competence, and limitations to the exercise of autonomy.
Conclusion. Nursing professionals achieve their autonomy through a social process, based on different stages of learning when facing the environment of the units. It is grounded in decision-making and the power to act freely. However, barriers continue to hinder it, including limitations imposed by institutions, protocol-based interventions, social status, and individual differences among professional

El viaje, método para la construcción de periodismo: Mirada a la obra De río en río. Vistazo a los territorios negros de Alfredo Molano
No full textIn a world where news is frequently conveyed through screens and print media that can be easily forgotten, some journalists choose to break away from the fleeting narratives and daily routines of their screens. They immerse themselves in stories that are based on experience, territory, and context, creating portraits with more pauses, reflections, and explorations. Alfredo Molano’s book ‘De río en río’ invites us to explore this deep connection between travel and journalism. Examining the black territories, Molano demonstrates how travel can be an integral part of constructing living journalism by unraveling the complexities of some of Colombia’s forgotten regions.This article explores how Molano utilises his physical and emotional displacements as crucial tools and methods in journalistic storytelling. It demonstrates that travel is not only a geographical journey but also a means of reaching and conveying the essence of the deepest human stories.En un mundo donde las noticias a menudo se transmiten en pantallas e impresos que se pierden en la inmediatez, hay hacedores de periodismo que deciden romper las narraciones fugaces, abandonar la cotidianidad de sus pantallas y sumergirse en las historias desde la experiencia, el territorio y sus contextos, para hacer retratos con más pausas, reflexiones y exploraciones. Alfredo Molano nos invita a explorar esta conexión profunda entre el viaje y el periodismo a través de su libro De río en río. Vistazo a los territorios negros. A medida que desentraña las complejidades de algunas regiones olvidadas de Colombia, Molano nos muestra cómo el acto mismo de viajar puede tejerse intrínsecamente en la construcción de un periodismo vivo.
En este artículo, nos sumergimos en cómo Molano utiliza sus propios desplazamientos físicos y emocionales como herramientas cruciales como método en la narrativa periodística, demostrando que el viaje no es solo una travesía geográfica, sino también una forma de llegar y contar la esencia de las historias humanas más profundas
Intention, Motivations, and Barriers to Emigration of Nursing Students in Colombia
No full textObjective. To explore the intention, motivations, and barriers to emigrate of final semester nursing students from Colombia.
Methods. Quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study with participation by 556 last-semester students matriculated in 26 undergraduate nursing programs in Colombia. Data were collected through an online questionnaire.
Results. The study found that 84% of the participants consider among their plans as future nursing professionals to emigrate to practice their profession in another country. Destinations of preference for those who have thought of emigrating include countries, like Canada (63.5%), Spain (57.7%), Germany (44.9%), and the United States (44.4%). The main reasons that motivate nursing students to emigrate when they complete their professional studies are: better remuneration (81.6%), better quality of life (67.9%), greater professional growth (64.1%), greater job stability (54.7%), and more employment options (49.8%). In turn, the reasons that discourage nursing students from emigrating when they complete their professional studies are: language (71.9%), going away from the family (60.6%), and the complexity of the emigration process (55.4%).
