Warmth and competence perceptions of key protagonists are associated with containment measures during the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from 35 countries

It is crucial to understand why people comply with measures to contain viruses and their effects during pandemics. We provide evidence from 35 countries (Ntotal = 12,553) from 6 continents during the COVID-19 pandemic (between 2021 and 2022) obtained via cross-sectional surveys that the social perception of key protagonists on two basic dimensions—warmth and competence—plays a crucial role in shaping pandemic-related behaviors. Firstly, when asked in an open question format, heads of state, physicians, and protest movements were universally identified as key protagonists across countries. Secondly, multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses revealed that warmth and competence perceptions of these and other protagonists differed significantly within and between countries. Thirdly, internal meta-analyses showed that warmth and competence perceptions of heads of state, physicians, and protest movements were associated with support and opposition intentions, containment and prevention behaviors, as well as vaccination uptake. Our results have important implications for designing effective interventions to motivate desirable health outcomes and coping with future health crises and other global challenges.publishedVersio

Indicadores de proceso como herramienta para monitorizar la asistencia al paciente con traumatismo grave en Cataluña

Objetivo: Los indicadores de proceso (IP) se han utilizado ampliamente para monitorizar los procesos asistenciales al paciente traumático. Nuestro objetivo es analizar la capacidad de un registro hospitalario de traumatismo grave para evaluar algunos aspectos de la atención inicial al traumatismo grave. Metodo: Observacional, retrospectivo de datos incluidos en un registro poblacional. A partir de un consenso de expertos se seleccionaron una serie de IP que se aplicaron a una población de accidentados. Los IP seleccionados analizan algunos aspectos de la atención inicial, diagnósticos y terapéuticos. Cuatro de ellos se refieren a la fase prehospitalaria y 5 a la fase hospitalaria. Para todos ellos se calculó la tasa de cumplimiento (observados vs esperados). Resultados: Fueron analizados 1.526 casos (44,4%) correspondientes al año 2013 y 1.908 (55,6%) del 2014. Tres de los cuatro IP relacionados con la atención prehospitalaria pudieron ser analizados: intubación orotraqueal en paciente con puntuación de la Escala del Coma de Glasgow (GCS) 8 (84% de cumplimiento); acceso vascular canalizado antes de la llegada al hospital (83,4% de cumplimiento); y contención cervical aplicada in situ (72,7% de cumplimiento). En la fase hospitalaria: realización de tomografía computarizada (TC) craneal en los primeros 60 min en GCS 13 (5,3% de cumplimiento); craneotomía en paciente candidato en las primeras 2 horas después del diagnóstico (65% de cumplimiento); exploración diagnóstica en traumatismo abdominal en los primeros 60 minutos en pacientes con presión arterial sistólica (PAS) 90 mmHg (89,3% de cumplimiento); y laparotomía o angiografía terapéutica en paciente candidato en las 4 primeras horas tras el trauma abdominal y PAS 90 (51,7% de cumplimiento). El último indicador, cirugía de fractura abierta en las primeras 8 horas tras el accidente, presentó un 69,9% de cumplimiento. Conclusiones: Nuestro estudio muestra las posibilidades y dificultades que un registro de traumatismo en base hospitalaria ofrece para evaluar la asistencia al paciente traumático a través de indicadores de proceso establecidos
