Spanish Armed Forces are deployed in different areas where malaria transmission occurs. Troops rotations are in periods between 4 and 6 months, during which an effective malaria prophylaxis must be kept. There are not enough studies of preventive chemoprophylaxis in long-term travelers; this is the aim of the present review. The conclusion is the best strategies for malaria prevention are vector control and atovacuona-proguanil chemoprophylaxis. Different nurse diagnostics will be listed according to NANDA taxonomy after identifying related factors that may cause health care problems.
