    Development of a taxonomy of activities in health prevention and promotion for primary care
    (Wiley, 2022) Pumar Méndez, María Jesús; López de Dicastillo Sáinz de Murieta, Olga; Hernantes Colias, Naia; Iriarte Roteta, Andrea; Belintxon, Maider; García-Iriarte, Antonio; Mujika Zabaleta, Agurtzane; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
    Aim: To develop a taxonomy of activities in health prevention and promotion for primary care. Background: Despite health promotion being considered a keystone for popula-tion health and health care sustainability, its implementation remains insufficient. Customized evaluation tools are needed to address prevention and promotion omis-sions in primary care. Method: A taxonomy was designed using documentary analysis. Documents describ-ing frontline primary care professionals' health prevention and promotion activities or omissions were identified and analysed using framework analysis. Results: The ‘Taxonomy of Activities in Health Prevention and Promotion for Primary Care’ (TaxoPromo) includes 43 activities grouped into eight categories: planification, situational analysis, capacity building, development of awareness/public opinion, advocacy, development of networks, development of partnerships and intervention strategies. Conclusion: By contrasting the usual practices with the activities collected in the TaxoPromo, opportunities for improvement can be unveiled. Implications for Nursing Management: The TaxoPromo can be used at organisational and system levels to identify actions to integrate health prevention and promotion activities into a systematic, data-driven process; design implementation plans and tailor-made strategies for capacity building; enable benchmarking; and address omis-sions. The TaxoPromo can serve as a catalyst tool for the clarification and expansion of the nursing role in health prevention and promotion.

    "Missed nursing care" in health promotion: raising awareness
    (Wiley, 2020) López de Dicastillo Sáinz de Murieta, Olga; Zabaleta del Olmo, Edurne; Mujika Zabaleta, Agurtzane; Antoñanzas Baztán, Elena; Hernantes Colias, Naia; Pumar Méndez, María Jesús; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak
    Aim(s): This commentary aims to raise awareness of the possible causes of “missed nursing care” in health promotion and to propose possible solutions. Background: Although health promotion is an essential function of nursing practice, “missed nursing care” has been scarcely studied in this area. It is crucial to know both its causes and possible strategies to prevent it. Evaluation: We used evidence to identify possible causes of “missed nursing care” in health promotion, and we classified them into categories. We suggested the concept of capacity building to address its underlying causes. Key issue(s): Four main factors are involved in “missed nursing care” in health promo-tion, that is intrapersonal, interpersonal, organisational and cultural. Capacity build-ing, including the development of knowledge, skills, commitment, structures, systems and leadership, could reduce missed care. Conclusion(s): “Missed nursing care” in health promotion is complex and is multifac-torial in its origins. Capacity building could be a way to address its causes. Implications for Nursing Management: Nursing care in health promotion is para-mount and a long-term investment that can contribute to the sustainability of the health system. Organisations and managers could view capacity building processes as a tool to prevent “missed nursing care” in health promotion.
