Cervical screening has been a highly successful health promotion initiative. The way cervical screening is delivered is about to change dramatically, with the introduction of 'tests of risk' and 'tests of disease' based on primary HPV testing and the use of cell host response biomarkers. This article addresses the fundamental basis of this change in clinical practice and offers insights into how the future of cervical screening will look.

AbstractHope is a phenomenon many nurses and patients are concerned about. One of the reasons for this interest may be that many patients today live with chronic illnesses, and hope is something positive and focuses on the future and opportunities. Hope is a way of feeling, thinking, and influencing one’s behavior. The way we view our health and health-related challenges are assumed to impact on hope. Hope is forward-looking, realistic, and multidimensional. It is a resource for health and health-promoting processes and can be considered a salutogenic resource and construct. This chapter highlights what hope means during illness, what research has so far been concerned with, how hope can be assessed, and how nurses can strengthen hope in patients.

This paper explores the disease COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This disease has caused a global pandemic affecting the way society both works and lives. COVID-19 is spread through droplets from the mouth and nose, which has implications for how we practice orthodontics. Our clinical practice will therefore need to be adapted to keep both patients and staff safe. This paper addresses the adaptations that should be considered. We also address what the future of orthodontics may look like in light of the issues with cross infection that COVID-19 has raised. CPD/Clinical Relevance: How to adapt our clinical practice to keep both staff and patients safe.

HEALTH COUNSELING AND PROMOTION IN THE PREVENTION OF HYPERTENSION FOR THE COMMUNITY OF BINTARAN HAMLET, BANTUL, DIY. Hypertension is a condition of increased blood pressure in arteries that increase the cause of the heart to work more than usual to circulate blood through the blood vessels. Precautions if not properly treated will cause other diseases such as sroke. This dedication is carried out with active lectures and discussions with participants. From these activities it is known that people already know the hypertension and the way of prevention but difficult to realize in everyday life. So, in the future there should be a creative health promotion effort and target the right people/groups that can bring about change.

Abstract. Power facilitates goal pursuit, but how does power affect the way people respond to conflict between their multiple goals? Our results showed that higher trait power was associated with reduced experience of conflict in scenarios describing multiple goals (Study 1) and between personal goals (Study 2). Moreover, manipulated low power increased individuals’ experience of goal conflict relative to high power and a control condition (Studies 3 and 4), with the consequence that they planned to invest less into the pursuit of their goals in the future. With its focus on multiple goals and individuals’ experiences during goal pursuit rather than objective performance, the present research uses new angles to examine power effects on goal pursuit.

Abstract. This research took place just after the end of the protests following the killing of a 16-year-old boy by a policeman in Greece in December 2008. Participants (N = 224) were 16-year-olds in different schools in Attiki. Informed by the Politicized Collective Identity Model ( Simon & Klandermans, 2001 ), a questionnaire measuring grievances, adversarial attributions, emotions, vulnerability, identifications with students and activists, and questions about justice and Greek society in the future, as well as about youngsters’ participation in different actions, was completed. Four profiles of the participants emerged from a cluster analysis using representations of the conflict, emotions, and identifications with activists and students. These profiles differed on beliefs about the future of Greece, participants’ economic vulnerability, and forms of participation. Importantly, the clusters corresponded to students from schools of different socioeconomic areas. The results indicate that the way young people interpret the events and the context, their levels of identification, and the way they represent society are important factors of their political socialization that impacts on their forms of participation. Political socialization seems to be related to youngsters’ position in society which probably constitutes an important anchoring point of their interpretation of the world.
