1. Integrating gender perspectives in healthcare education : a scoping reviewAriadna Huertas-Zurriaga, Cristina Casanovas-Cuellar, Meritxell Puyane Oliva, Miguel Angel Jorquera-Ruzzi, Juan Manuel Leyva-Moral, Maria Dolors Bernabeu-Tamayo, Gemma Garreta Parés, Betül Tosun, Mirko Prosen, Mojtaba Vaismoradi, 2026, pregledni znanstveni članek Opis: Background: Recognition of the influence of sex and gender on health outcomes has increased, highlighting the need to integrate gender perspectives into healthcare education; however, implementation remains inconsistent. This scoping review maps and synthesizes research on how gender perspectives are incorporated into healthcare education for undergraduate students to inform curriculum development and professional training. Methods: Guided by the PRISMA-ScR guideline, Arksey and O’Malley, and Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted in seven databases (PubMed/Medline, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, ProQuest, Embase, ERIC) for studies published up to 31 December 2025. A three-stage screening process was performed in Rayyan by independent reviewers. Data were systematically mapped and synthesized to identify patterns and key themes across the included studies. Results: A total of 81 studies (2008–2025) were included. Participants were primarily medical (n = 46) and nursing students (n = 14). In terms of study design, the majority employed an educational intervention design (n = 16), cross-sectional (n = 16), and pre–post design (n = 14). Findings were presented under three main themes as follows: “Education System and Curriculum-Level Approaches”; “Student-Level Learning and Gender Sensitivity Outcomes”; and “Contextual and Structural Factors.” Conclusions: Integration of gender perspectives into undergraduate healthcare education remains limited by inconsistent application, faculty readiness, and institutional support. Comprehensive reforms, faculty training, and intersectional approaches are needed to strengthen integration and improve care quality.

2. Empowering men to take control of their own health : development and validation of the Men’s Response to Colorectal Cancer Screening Scale (MR–CCSS)Vesna Jašić, Mirko Prosen, Sabina Ličen, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Background/Objectives: Despite the proven effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening, men are less likely to participate than women, with emotional, behavioural and informational barriers contributing to this disparity. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Men’s Response to Colorectal Cancer Screening Scale (MR–CCSS), a gender-sensitive instrument for measuring key factors that influence the participation of men in colorectal cancer screening. Methods: The scale was developed through a structured process that included qualitative data from focus groups (n = 20 men) and expert review (n = 11 professionals). Initial item pools were refined based on indices of content validity (I-CVI ≥ 0.78; S-CVI/Ave ≥ 0.90), resulting in a 23-item scale. The MR–CCSS was administered to 289 Slovenian men aged 50–74 years, and its psychometric properties were assessed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and reliability tests. Results: The EFA revealed a five-factor structure. Together, these factors explained 61.9% of the total variance. The CFA confirmed the robustness of the model (CFI = 0.928, TLI = 0.910 and RMSEA = 0.056). The internal consistency was acceptable to good, with Cronbach’s alpha between 0.665 (factor 4) and 0.833 (factor 5) for the subscales and 0.863 for the total scale. The ROC analysis showed moderate predictive accuracy (AUC = 0.702), with an optimal cut-off value of 92.5 (sensitivity = 0.782 and specificity = 0.509) for participation in screening. Conclusions: The MR–CCSS is a valid and reliable tool for identifying barriers to colorectal cancer screening in men. Its use can serve as a basis for gender-specific interventions, customised health education and strategies to improve screening equity.
