Abstract Background Persistent smoking among patients diagnosed with cancer is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, yet an evidence-based tobacco use intervention has not been well-integrated into cancer care in community oncology settings. This paper describes the protocol of a nation-wide clinical trial conducted by the ECOG-ACRIN National Cancer Institute (NCI) Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Research Base to assess the effectiveness of a virtual tobacco treatment intervention and the process of implementing tobacco treatment in NCORP community oncology settings. Methods/design This two-arm, multisite (n: 49 NCORP sites) hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial compares the effectiveness of a Virtual Intervention Treatment (VIT) versus an Enhanced Usual Control (EUC) among English and Spanish speaking patients recently diagnosed with cancer, reporting current smoking and receiving care at a participating NCORP Community or Minority/Underserved Site. The VIT includes up to 11 virtual counseling sessions with a tobacco treatment specialist and up to 12 weeks of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). The EUC arm receives a referral to the NCI Quitline. The primary study outcome is biochemically confirmed 7-day point prevalence smoking abstinence. Moderators of treatment effect will be assessed. The study evaluates implementation processes from participating NCORP site staff via survey, administrative, and focus group data, including reach, acceptability, appropriateness, fidelity, feasibility, adoption, cost and sustainability outcomes. Discussion This trial will generate findings about the effectiveness of an evidence-based virtual tobacco treatment intervention targeting patients diagnosed with cancer and illuminate barriers and facilitators that influence implementing tobacco treatment into community oncology settings nationally. In the era of COVID-19, virtual care solutions are vital for maximizing access and utilization of tobacco treatment delivery.

BackgroundScreen ASSIST is a cessation trial offered to current smokers at the point of lung cancer screening. Because of the unique position of promoting a prevention behavior (smoking cessation) within the context of a detection behavior (lung cancer screening), this study employed prospect theory to design and formatively evaluate a targeted recruitment video prior to trial launch. ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to identify which message frames were most effective at promoting intent to participate in a smoking cessation study. MethodsParticipants were recruited from a proprietary opt-in online panel company and randomized to a 2 (benefits of quitting vs risks of continuing to smoke at the time of lung screening; BvR) × 2 (gains of participating vs losses of not participating in a cessation study; GvL) message design experiment (N=314). The primary outcome was self-assessed intent to participate in a smoking cessation study. Message effectiveness and lung cancer risk perception measures were also collected. Analysis of variance examined the main effect of the 2 message factors and a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) approach identified predictors of intent to participate in a multivariable model. A mediation analysis was conducted to determine the direct and indirect effects of message factors on intent to participate in a cessation study. ResultsA total of 296 participants completed the intervention. There were no significant differences in intent to participate in a smoking cessation study between message frames (P=.12 and P=.61). In the multivariable model, quit importance (P

El presente texto hace referencia a la gran carga física y psíquica que contrae el cuidador como consecuencia del cuidado de pacientes con Daño Cerebral Adquirido. Su objetivo está dirigido a fundamentar los elementos epistemológicos sobre la sobrecarga del cuidador de pacientes con DCA para brindar una adecuada atención, en función de mejorar las repercusiones físicas, emocionales, médicas, sociales y económicas que pueden experimentar en su atención. Este artículo constituye una salida del proyecto de investigación Intervención psicosocial para perfeccionar la atención integral al paciente con Daño Cerebral Adquirido, el cual gestiona el Centro para el Desarrollo de las Ciencias Sociales y Humanísticas en Salud, de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Camagüey. El tipo de estudio es de carácter Investigación acción participativa y se ejecutó en el período comprendido entre enero de 2018 y febrero de 2020./The present text makes reference to the great load physics and psychic that contracts the caretaker like consequence of the care of patient with Acquired Brain Damage (ABD). Its objective is directed to base the epistemological elements on the caretaker's overload for its attention. It is intruded in inherent questions to the ABD and the physical, emotional repercussions, doctors, social, economic, and others that the caretakers of these patients can experience. This article constitutes an exit of the project of investigation Psychosocial intervention to perfect the integral attention to the patient with Acquired Brain Damage, which negotiates the Center for the Development of the Social and Humanistic Sciences in Health, of the University of Medical Sciences of Camagüey. The study type is of character Investigation-action participatory and it was executed in the period between January of 2018 and February of 2020.

Laboral training of the mental retarded student from the psychopedagogicalpointof view finds room in education, at work and for the work, that has been studied by different authors. From this standpoint, laboral training constitute a way for the development of the personality of this kind of student. Taking advantage of the antecedents, the article regards as its objective to reflex toward the potentialities of the mental retarded student in the process of laboral training for compensation-correction of behaivor problems present in these students and their possibilities for integral development.

La formación laboral del estudiante con discapacidad intelectual leve aún cuenta con insuficiencias en las instrumentaciones para lograr la educación compensatoria en la esfera afectiva, específicamente para las alteraciones del comportamiento. El presente artículo se propone fundamentar una estrategia de educación integradora sustentada en el principio corrección-compensación para la formación laboral de los estudiantes con discapacidad intelectual leve de la Escuela Especial “José Luis Tassende de las Muñecas” del municipio Florida, provincia Camagüey; se emplearon métodos teóricos y empíricos: análisis documental, observación, pre-experimento, analítico-sintético, inductivo-deductivo e histórico-lógico.

Educating mentally retarded students is a priority task in the Cuban educational system. Communication and labor training are essential components of such a formative process for their key function in personal development and social and labor insertion. Consequently, the study herein described aims at explaining the role of communication in labor education. Theoretical methods,such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, were used, as well as the empirical method of documents analysis. The main finding is precisely the theoretical framework that highlights the education of mentally retarded.

La formación laboral del estudiante con discapacidad intelectual tiene lugar desde el punto de vista psicopedagógico en la educación y en el trabajo, lo que ha sido estudiado históricamente por diferentes autores.
