Extensive Practice

In recent years, with the continuous development of blockchain technology and the prosperity of digital currency, various industries have carried out extensive practice around the application of blockchain technology, such as my country’s sports industry. Through the measurement and collection of athletes’ health and exercise information, the athlete’s exercise volume and exercise level can be quantitatively evaluated. Blockchain technology provides a new opportunity for the development of the sports industry. The characteristics of the decentralization, security, credibility, and traceability of the data collection system are highly compatible with the development of the sports industry. In order to develop and expand the sports industry and scientifically evaluate the physical fitness of athletes, this research focuses on the blockchain-based sports health data collection system in the sports industry. This article adopts the accuracy index and the formula of data return and conducts demand analysis, accuracy, and recall analysis of the health data collection system. The research conclusion of this paper is that when using sensors to collect sports health data, the data collection of sensors located on the arm is more accurate, with an accuracy rate of over 90%, and the collection effect of multinode sensors is higher than that of single-node sensors. The collection of sports health data is beneficial to the training of athletes and the development of the sports industry to meet the growing demand for sports health. Our country’s sports industry will also develop with the application of blockchain.

Aim of the Study: The study aimed at evaluation of awareness of Susceptibility to Human Papilloma Virus and Cervical Cancer Screening among Nurses at University of Benin Teaching Hospital. Research Design: Cross sectional descriptive survey design was used for the study. Study Place: The place of study is University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City, Nigeria. Duration of Study: Data was collected within four weeks in December 2016. Method of Data Collection: A validated self-structured questionnaire was utilised for data collection. A total of 281 nurses who worked in UBTH were recruited for the study. The study setting was purposively selected due the cervical cancer mortality observed among nurses in recent time. The level of significance was put at 0.05. Findings: The results showed that 62 (24.2%) and 153 (59.8%) of the nurses are aware of susceptibility to Human papilloma Virus and cervical cancer and its prevention, respectively. However, 116 (45.3%) exhibited a negative attitude towards the proven screening modality. Those who demonstrated negative attitude towards pap smears utilisation were less likely to utilise it. This was found to be statistically significant (chi-square = 14.899, df = 1, p value = 0.000. Conclusion: Besides, nurses with university education exhibited positive attitude towards pap smear test more than their counterparts who had diploma education in nursing/midwifery. Similarly, older nurses exhibited a positive attitude more than the younger counterparts. Recommendation: Intervention programmes that would focus on change of attitude of the nurses towards utilisation of cervical cancer screening were recommended. Further study on the utilisation of cervical cancer screening by these nurses were also was also recommended.

Abstract Background A barrier to screening is a specific attitude, opinion or state that prevents the patient from seeking preventive care. The aim of this study was to identify and compare barriers to cervical cancer screening (CCS) in Northern Slovakia between women seeking and not seeking CCS. Methods Data collection was performed in twenty gynaecological departments, each department sending data from five healthy women and five untreated women with cervical cancer. Women completed a validated and standardized questionnaire with 28 statements (the CPC-28 questionnaire: “Creencias, Papanicolaou, Cancer-28” questionaire – Beliefs about Papanicolaou and Cervical Cancer). A four-point Likert scale (item score from 1 to 4) was used to assess responses. A linear transformation was made to calculate the responses. Differences with a p value of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results From the 200 questionnaires, 135 (67.5%) participants were divided into the women seeking CCS (n = 97) and the women not seeking CCS (n = 38). The women not seeking CCS vs seeking CCS had higher barriers according to the CPC-28 domain one (median; interquartile range: 33.33; 28.70-40.74 vs 14.82; 7.41–29.63; p < 0.001). The risk of not seeking CCS was statistically significant in non-working (OR; 95% CI: 2.458; 1.127–5.358; p < 0.024), non-childbearing women (OR; 95% CI: 3.302; 1.421–7.671; p < 0.006) and women without cervical cancer (OR; 95% CI: 4.709; 1.960-11.317; p < 0.001). Conclusion We identified barriers to cervical cancer screening in both of our groups but the results were more frequent and statistically significant in the women not seeking CCS.
