− Creation of the Virtual Campus: A virtual campus was established to pro-
vide all necessary instructions, evaluation tools, and a space for stu-
dents to submit their assignments.
− Facilitation of Experiential Materials: Students received experiential ma-
terials, including real-life stories, podcasts, videos from various platfor-
ms such as TikTok and Instagram, as well as short films or series scenes.
Additionally, verbatims from published qualitative studies were inclu-
ded.
− Creation of Images and Reflective Narratives: In groups of 3–4, students
created original images representing the concepts studied. These ima-
ges were accompanied by reflective narratives, where students expres-
sed their emotions and reflected on their impact on nursing practice. A
deadline of 7 days was set for submitting images and narratives on the
virtual campus.
− Discussion Seminar and Evaluation: Seven days later, a synchronic virtu-
al seminar was held where each subgroup presented their creations. A
group discussion space was opened to share reflections and emotions,
and works were evaluated using a specific rubric (see Table 1). A patient
expert’s participation enriched the discussion.
− Selection of Best Images and Dissemination: Through voting by students
and faculty, the best images from each topic were selected. These images
were exhibited through a photographic exhibition (physical and virtual)
to educate and sensitize the community and future generations of nurses.
Additionally, dissemination through written reports, books, pamphlets,
or short videos, always with student participation, was encouraged.

In 19, the Nursing Department of the Faculty of Medicine at the Univer-
sitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) initiated a targeted educational program
exclusively tailored for nursing students, with a primary focus on fostering
the humanization of care towards individuals living with HIV. This specialized
curriculum delved into three overarching thematic areas, meticulously de-
signed to provide comprehensive insights into the complexities of caring for
individuals affected by HIV/AIDS. These areas encompassed: a) the emotion-
al journey of receiving an HIV diagnosis, b) the profound impact of societal
stigma and discrimination faced by those with HIV, and c) the multifaceted
aspects surrounding antiretroviral medication management and the life-
long management of chronicity. The instructional format comprised a series
of three face-to-face seminars, each spanning two hours, strategically com-
plemented by curated reading materials and educational videos accessible
