Within the framework of this event, the presentation was made: VIABILITY LIMITS IN NEONATES AND BIOETHICAL CONFLICTS. From this intervention, the following document emerges, which has to do with the beginning of life, the viability limit of newborns. November 17 is the international day of prematurity, it is a topic of vital importance if one takes into account that the World Health Organization (WHO) (2023) concluded that in the last decade 1,520,000,000 were born, that is, 1 in 10 births in the world are premature and, most alarmingly, every 40 seconds one of them dies worldwide. This conference shows the importance of health teams in Neonatal Units at the time of decision-making from bioethics, from the Colombian and global context at the limit of viability.</p> María Esperanza Durán Viviana Rodríguez Torres Copyright (c) 2024 Meridiano - Revista Colombiana de Salud Mental 2024-12-30 2024-12-30 3 1 10.26852/28059107.736 Reflections on Advanced Directives on Pediatrics //revistas.unisanitas.edu.co/index.php/meridiano/article/view/733 <p><strong>SUMMARY</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Introduction.</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> To reflect about Advance Directives in Pediatric patients represents a challenge for healthcare personnel. </span><strong>Objective: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">To provide the reader with guidelines to reflect on how to assertively approach the patient and their family in the face of an extreme health condition through advanced care planning where the advance directives and advance directives document are part of the patient's comprehensive care.</span><strong> Methods:</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Narrative type review.</span></p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The advance directives and the advance directives document are part of the advanced care planning where the care staff has the responsibility of guiding, accompanying and co-creating the advance directives document with the child and adolescent through an empathetic and appropriate therapeutic relationship.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Keywords&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Advance directives, pediatrics, euthanasia, palliative sedation, pediatric palliative care.</span></p> Janneth Consuelo Parra Garcia Luis Ricardo González Cruz Copyright (c) 2024 Meridiano - Revista Colombiana de Salud Mental 2024-12-30 2024-12-30 3 1 10.26852/28059107.733 Bioética y usos de la inteligencia artificial en biomedicina //revistas.unisanitas.edu.co/index.php/meridiano/article/view/739 Boris Julián Pinto Bustamante Copyright (c) 2024 Meridiano - Revista Colombiana de Salud Mental 2024-12-30 2024-12-30 3 1 10.26852/28059107.739 Aspectos éticos de la investigación en salud global y colaboración internacional //revistas.unisanitas.edu.co/index.php/meridiano/article/view/738 Carlos Arturo Álvarez Moreno Copyright (c) 2024 Meridiano - Revista Colombiana de Salud Mental 2024-12-30 2024-12-30 3 1 10.26852/28059107.738 Homenaje a la doctora Ana María de Brigard //revistas.unisanitas.edu.co/index.php/meridiano/article/view/737 Germán Rojas Copyright (c) 2024 Meridiano - Revista Colombiana de Salud Mental 2024-12-30 2024-12-30 3 1 10.26852/28059107.737 Reflexionando sobre la perspectiva de los pacientes en el sistema de salud: derechos y autonomía //revistas.unisanitas.edu.co/index.php/meridiano/article/view/735 <p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="es-ES">La relación entre los usuarios del sistema de salud y los profesionales médicos es fundamental para garantizar una atención de calidad y respetuosa.
