abstract = {A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted during the first COVID-19 wave,
to examine the impact of COVID-19 on mental health using an anonymous online survey, enrolling
9565 individuals in 78 countries. The current sub-study examined the impact of the pandemic and
the associated lockdown measures on the mental health, and protective behaviors of cancer patients
in comparison to non-cancer participants. Furthermore, 264 participants from 30 different countries
reported being cancer patients. The median age was 51.5 years, 79.9% were female, and 28% had
breast cancer. Cancer participants reported higher self-efficacy to follow recommended national
guidelines regarding COVID-19 protective behaviors compared to non-cancer participants (p < 0.01).
They were less stressed (p < 0.01), more psychologically flexible (p < 0.01), and had higher levels
of positive affect compared to non-cancer participants. Amongst cancer participants, the majority
(80.3%) reported COVID-19, not their cancer, as their priority during the first wave of the pandemic
and females reported higher levels of stress compared to males. In conclusion, cancer participants
appeared to have handled the unpredictable nature of the first wave of the pandemic efficiently, with a
positive attitude towards an unknown and otherwise frightening situation. Larger, cancer population
specific and longitudinal studies are warranted to ensure adequate medical and psychological care
for cancer patients.},
abstract = {Colombia es uno de los países donde el Castigo Corporal (CP) aún no está prohibido. Este estudio tiene como objetivo contribuir a la comprensión de la PC en Colombia con respecto a la prevalencia, la gravedad y la cronicidad. Utilizamos la versión en español de la Escala de Tácticas de Conflicto entre Padres e Hijos para evaluar 853 informes de padres sobre el uso de PC contra sus hijos en las cuatro ciudades principales del país: Barranquilla, Bogotá, Medellín y Cali. Se realizaron análisis de varianzas y regresiones logísticas. Las variables sociodemográficas que son predictoras del uso de PC son la edad de los padres, el número de niños en el hogar y la edad de los niños. Los resultados indicaron una alta tasa de prevalencia (77%) pero bajos niveles de severidad y cronicidad, según lo informado por los padres colombianos. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que la PC es una práctica normalizada, que podría estar vinculada a la exposición directa o indirecta al conflicto armado de larga duración (más de 50 años) que soportó el país. Se presentan recomendaciones de políticas sociales, particularmente el diseño e implementación de intervenciones localmente relevantes para la prevención de esta práctica.},
