Objective: To determine the role of nurses in debunking myths about emergency contraception and forming evidence-based understanding among patients of various age groups.

Materials and methods: Analysis of scientific literature on emergency contraception issues was conducted, data from a nationwide sociological study by Gedeon Richter company among 1,300 women aged 18–45 years (May–June 2025) were examined, and the influence of cinematographic images on reproductive health stereotype formation was considered.

Results: According to the study data, 91.1% of Russian women have encountered unprotected sexual intercourse at least once, and 62% have used emergency contraception. It was established that the main motive for using emergency contraceptive drugs is conscious family planning (47.8% – "children should be wanted"). Persistent misconceptions about the mechanism of action and safety of the drugs were identified.

Conclusions: Nurses occupy a significant place in the reproductive education system, working as part of a team with the attending physician and having the opportunity to debunk myths about sexual issues in a confidential environment. Using elements of popular culture in educational work increases the effectiveness of communication with patients.

This article explores the communicative role of nurses in palliative care based on the analysis of calls to a palliative-care hotline in 2024. The study aimed to identify the most common requests from patients and relatives and to develop practical recommendations for nursing staff. Calls were classified into informational (67.1 %), legal (14.1%), medical (12.2%), pain-management (10.1%) and psychological (6.3%) categories. The material was processed using thematic analysis, content analysis and semantic clustering.

The results indicate that patients primarily require pain control, emotional support and clear prognostic information, whereas relatives need navigation through the palliative-care system, legal clarifications and anxiety reduction. Major communication barriers include aggression, time constraints and a lack of clear distribution of responsibilities among healthcare professionals. Recommended strategies for nurses comprise emotional containment and normalization, psychoeducation, crisis-plan development, and enhanced skills in legal matters and informing patients and families about palliative care. The findings highlight the importance of developing nurses’ communicative and psychological competencies to improve the quality of palliative care.
