Objective:to test the effects of behavioral and educational intervention by telephone on adherence of women with inappropriate periodicity to colpocytological examination. Method:quasi-experimental study with a sample of 524 women, selected with the following inclusion criteria: be aged between 25 and 64 years, have initiated sexual activity, have inappropriate periodicity of examination and have mobile or landline phone. The women were divided into two groups for application of behavioral and educational intervention by telephone. It was used an intervention script according to the principles of Motivational Interviewing. Results:on comparing the results before and after the behavioral and educational interventions, it was found that there was a statistically significant change (p = 0.0283) with increase of knowledge of women who participated in the educational intervention. There was no change in the attitude of women of any of the groups and there was an increase of adherence to colpocytological examination in both groups (p < 0.0001), with greater adherence of women participating in the behavioral group (66.8%). Conclusion:the behavioral and educational interventions by phone were effective in the adherence of women to colpocytological examination, representing important strategies for permanent health education and promotion of care for the prevention of cervical cancer.

Objective: To describe the development and validation of an educational hypermedia for undergraduates and nurses about the technique of physical examination in the prenatal period. Methods: A development study, conducted between June and October 2010, following these steps: developing content, production of media, organization of student-tutor space, design, delivery and validation of hypermedia. Results: We developed hypertext, hyperlinks, audiovisual materials, communication spaces, assessments and support materials. The seven experts in nursing considered the consistency of the hypermedia for nursing practice and to facilitate the teaching-learning process to be fully adequate. Of the three informatics specialists, two considered the hypermedia to have fully adequate functionality. Conclusion: We constructed an educational hypermedia, validated by experts, using a variety of media resources that made it possible to optimize the teaching and learning process.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic capacity of cytological, colposcopic, and histological exams on the detection of premalignant lesions. Methods: A documentary, retrospective study, with a quantitative approach, conducted in the Cancer Prevention Institute (CPI), in Fortaleza-CE. The population consisted of medical records of 112 women who had the results of these three exams. We adopted the chi-square test and considered it statistically significant when p <0.05. We applied sensitivity and specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for cytology and colposcopy. Results: From the comparison between the diagnostic tests, we observed that cytology obtained a sensitivity of 89.8%, a specificity of 35.7%, a PPV of 90.7% and an NPV of 33.3%. Colposcopy achieved a sensitivity of 84.7%, a specificity of 50%, a PPV of 92.2% and an NPV of 31.8%. Conclusion: We found that these tests presented sensitivity and specificity that can alternate with one another, indicating the association of both to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of premalignant lesions. Keywords: Women's health; Cervix neoplasms prevention RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar a capacidade diagnóstica dos exames citológicos, colposcópico e histológico na detecção de lesões pré-malignas. Métodos: Estudo documental, retrospectivo, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado no Instituto de Prevenção do Câncer (IPC), em Fortaleza-CE. A população foi composta por prontuários de 112 mulheres que possuíam o resultado dos três exames. Adotou-se o teste de qui-quadrado e considerou-se estatisticamente significativo quando p < 0,05. Foram aplicados a sensibilidade e especificidade, valor preditivo positivo (VPP) e valor preditivo negativo (VPN) para a citologia e colposcopia. Resultados: A partir da comparação entre os exames diagnósticos observou-se que a citologia obteve uma sensibilidade de 89,8%, uma especificidade de 35,7%, um VPP de 90,7% e um VPN de 33,3%. A colposcopia alcançou uma sensibilidade de 84,7%, uma especificidade de 50%, um VPP de 92,2% e um VPN de 31,8%. Conclusão: Observou-se que esses exames apresentaram valores de sensibilidade e especificidade que podem alternar-se, indicando-se a associação de ambos para melhorar a acurácia do diagnóstico das lesões pré-malignas.

Objective:to test the efficacy of the behavioral and educational interventions undertaken by telephone, for women’s attendance at the consultation to receive the Pap test report. Method:a randomized clinical trial, with a sample randomized in three groups: telephone call - educational (n=171), telephone call - reminder (n=171) and comparison (n=169). The inclusion criteria were to be of legal age, to have become sexually active, to undertake the preventive examination during the study and to have a mobile or fixed telephone. The educational group received a telephone call involving a script based in the motivational interview and in the Brazilian guidelines. The behavioral group received a telephone call involving a reminder about the consultation. The comparison group received a card with details of when to return for a consultation regarding the results. Results:the women who received one of the interventions had a non-return rate of 7.3% and an increase of 39% (RR CI95%: 1.24-1.55) in the protection against this outcome. In the individual analysis of the interventions, it was evidenced that both are efficacious, as the telephone call - reminder reduces the woman’s failure to return to the service by 40% (RR CI95%: 1.25-1.57), while the telephone call - educational does so by 37% (RR CI95%: 1.22-1.54). The rates of non-return were of 6.5% and 8.2%, respectively, as against 33.1% in the comparison group. Conclusion:the interventions tested showed greater efficacy in the educational and behavioral contexts, in relation to the normal attendance, as they motivated the women to return to the service to receive the Pap test report.
