Grado de efectividad y correlación citología-colposcopia utilizadas como pruebas diagnósticas en una entidad de salud de Santa Marta

Objetive: Descriptive, correlational and retrospective study. Sougth to determine the effectiveness of the testing and correlation index between uterine cervical cytology and colposcopy, procedures performed in a health institution in Santa Marta, Colombia, in the period January to December 2011. Methods: analyzed 34 cases from the medical history of patients with similarity in the presumptive diagnosis of squamous intraepithelial lesion of low and high risk, were practiced uterine cervical cytology and colposcopy as a confirmatory test. The tests were practiced in the same entity under study, was analyzed by correlation index and effectiveness of the tests separately trhough the T test. Results: Women aged between 18 and 55 years old, the correlation index between cytology and colposcopy not evidenced direct relationship, obtaining a reverse and weak index. The individual analysis of effectiveness of tests through the T test, confirms higher effectiveness of colposcopy respect to the cytology. Conclusions: found higher effectiveness of colposcopy for the definition of the diagnosis in a group of patients treated with a reverse and weak relationship between the two testsObjetivo: estudio descriptivo correlacional, retrospectivo que buscó determinar la efectividad de las pruebas y el índice de correlación entre la citología cérvico uterina y la colposcopia, procedimientos realizados en una entidad de salud de Santa Marta, Colombia, en el período comprendido enero- diciembre 2011.

The psychological science accelerator’s COVID-19 rapid-response dataset

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Psychological Science Accelerator coordinated three large-scale psychological studies to examine the effects of loss-gain framing, cognitive reappraisals, and autonomy framing manipulations on behavioral intentions and affective measures. The data collected (April to October 2020) included specific measures for each experimental study, a general questionnaire examining health prevention behaviors and COVID-19 experience, geographical and cultural context characterization, and demographic information for each participant. Each participant started the study with the same general questions and then was randomized to complete either one longer experiment or two shorter experiments. Data were provided by 73,223 participants with varying completion rates. Participants completed the survey from 111 geopolitical regions in 44 unique languages/dialects. The anonymized dataset described here is provided in both raw and processed formats to facilitate re-use and further analyses. The dataset offers secondary analytic opportunities to explore coping, framing, and self-determination across a diverse, global sample obtained at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which can be merged with other time-sampled or geographic data

A global experiment on motivating social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic

Finding communication strategies that effectively motivate social distancing continues to be a global public health priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-country, preregistered experiment (n = 25,718 from 89 countries) tested hypotheses concerning generalizable positive and negative outcomes of social distancing messages that promoted personal agency and reflective choices (i.e., an autonomy-supportive message) or were restrictive and shaming (i.e., a controlling message) compared with no message at all. Results partially supported experimental hypotheses in that the controlling message increased controlled motivation (a poorly internalized form of motivation relying on shame, guilt, and fear of social consequences) relative to no message. On the other hand, the autonomy-supportive message lowered feelings of defiance compared with the controlling message, but the controlling message did not differ from receiving no message at all. Unexpectedly, messages did not influence autonomous motivation (a highly internalized form of motivation relying on one’s core values) or behavioral intentions. Results supported hypothesized associations between people’s existing autonomous and controlled motivations and self-reported behavioral intentions to engage in social distancing. Controlled motivation was associated with more defiance and less long-term behavioral intention to engage in social distancing, whereas autonomous motivation was associated with less defiance and more short- and long-term intentions to social distance. Overall, this work highlights the potential harm of using shaming and pressuring language in public health communication, with implications for the current and future global health challenges

A multi-country test of brief reappraisal interventions on emotions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased negative emotions and decreased positive emotions globally. Left unchecked, these emotional changes might have a wide array of adverse impacts. To reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions, we tested the effectiveness of reappraisal, an emotion-regulation strategy that modifies how one thinks about a situation. Participants from 87 countries and regions (n = 21,644) were randomly assigned to one of two brief reappraisal interventions (reconstrual or repurposing) or one of two control conditions (active or passive). Results revealed that both reappraisal interventions (vesus both control conditions) consistently reduced negative emotions and increased positive emotions across different measures. Reconstrual and repurposing interventions had similar effects. Importantly, planned exploratory analyses indicated that reappraisal interventions did not reduce intentions to practice preventive health behaviours. The findings demonstrate the viability of creating scalable, low-cost interventions for use around the world

Objetive: Descriptive, correlational and retrospective study. Sougth to determine the effectiveness of the testing and correlation index between uterine cervical cytology and colposcopy, procedures performed in a health institution in Santa Marta, Colombia, in the period January to December 2011. Methods: analyzed 34 cases from the medical history of patients with similarity in the presumptive diagnosis of squamous intraepithelial lesion of low and high risk, were practiced uterine cervical cytology and colposcopy as a confirmatory test. The tests were practiced in the same entity under study, was analyzed by correlation index and effectiveness of the tests separately trhough the T test. Results: Women aged between 18 and 55 years old, the correlation index between cytology and colposcopy not evidenced direct relationship, obtaining a reverse and weak index. The individual analysis of effectiveness of tests through the T test, confirms higher effectiveness of colposcopy respect to the cytology.
