Sousa, Álvaro Francisco Lopes de; Schneider, Guilherme; Carvalho, Herica Emilia Félix de; Oliveira, Layze Braz de; Lima, Shirley Verônica Melo Almeida; Sousa, Anderson Reis de; Araújo, Telma Maria Evangelista de; Camargo, Emerson Lucas Silva; Oriá, Mônica Oliveira Batista; Ramos, Carmen Viana; Oliveira, Rodrigo Mota de; Almeida, Camila Aparecida Pinheiro Landim; Ferreira, Andrêa Jacqueline Fortes; Teixeira, Jules Ramon Brito; Lua, Iracema; Souza, Fernanda de Oliveira; Araújo, Tânia Maria de; Fronteira, Inês; Mendes, Isabel Amélia CostaIn the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, a complex phenomenon called the “infodemic” has emerged, compromising coping with the pandemic. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of agreement with misinformation about COVID-19 and to identify associated factors. A web survey was carried out in Portuguese-speaking countries in two stages: 1. the identification of misinformation circulating in the included countries; 2. a multicentric online survey with residents of the included countries. The outcome of the study was agreement or disagreement with misinformation about COVID-19. Multivariate analyzes were conducted using the Poisson regression model with robust variance, a logarithmic link function, and 95% confidence intervals. The prevalence of agreement with misinformation about COVID-19 was 63.9%. The following factors increased the prevalence of this outcome: having a religious affiliation (aPR: 1454, 95% CI: 1393–1517), having restrictions on leisure (aPR: 1230, 95% CI: 1127–1342), practicing social isolation (aPR: 1073, 95% CI: 1030–1118), not avoiding agglomeration (aPR: 1060, 95% CI: 1005–1117), not seeking/receiving news from scientific sources (aPR: 1153, 95% CI: 1068–1245), seeking/receiving news from three or more non-scientific sources (aPR: 1114, 95% CI: 1049–1182), and giving credibility to news carried by people from social networks (aPR: 1175, 95% CI: 1104–1251). There was a high prevalence of agreement with misinformation about COVID-19. The quality, similarity, uniformity, and acceptance of the contents indicate a concentration of themes that reflect “homemade”, simple, and easy methods to avoid infection by SARS-CoV-2, compromising decision-making and ability to cope with the disease.
- Knowledge and practice related to the pap smear test among cytopathologistsPublication . Almeida, Camila Aparecida Pinheiro Landim; Santos, Andressa Brandão dos; Alencar, Jessica Aguiar de; Gomes Júnior, Antonio Luiz; Carvalho, Herica Emilia Félix de; Lago, Eliana Campêlo; Ramos, Carmen Viana; Feitosa, Lucíola Galvão Gondim CorrêaCervical cancer is the third most common type of cancer amongst women, compared to other neoplasms, with a higher potential for prevention, slow evolution, and has a simple and effective screening test in its detection, cure when diagnosed early. The routine examination in Brazil for the prevention of this type of cancer is the Pap smear test. This study aimed to reveal the knowledge and practice regarding the Pap smear test among cytopathologists. A descriptive and exploratory research, a qualitative approach, performed with 21 cytopathologists, by e-mailing a data collection instrument, from March to April 2018. Data were treated using the Hierarchical Descending Classification in IraMuTeQ software and analyzed by the Discourse of the Collective Subject. The construction of the results was carried out based on aspects of the knowledge of the cytopathologists about the Pap smear, related to the importance of the completion of the post-graduation for its accomplishment, and aspects of cytopathologists practice regarding the relevance of performing the early diagnosis of cervical cancer. We conclude on the need to reorganize the activities in the work process of the health professionals involved in the Pap smear.
