La identificación precisa de autores e instituciones es clave para garantizar la calidad, trazabilidad y visibilidad de la producción científica. El uso de identificadores estándar como ORCID para los profesionales y ROR para las instituciones asegura una atribución correcta y homogénea de las contribuciones, reduciendo errores y carga administrativa.
ORCID vincula de forma única la actividad investigadora de cada autor y facilita su integración en plataformas y procesos de evaluación. ROR estandariza la identificación institucional, evitando duplicidades y mejorando la representación del impacto científico.
La correcta implementación de estos identificadores refuerza el posicionamiento y la visibilidad tanto de los profesionales como de la institución, y resulta esencial para acreditaciones, evaluaciones, memorias científicas, justificación de financiación y definición de indicadores de calidad e impacto.
Development and Psychometric Properties of the Human Papillomavirus-Know Questionnaire (HPV-Know-Q) to Assess the Knowledge of Women on HPV Infection and Related Outcomes.
Abstract:
To provide the psychometric properties of a novel patient-reported outcomes measurement (PROM), the HPV-Know-Q questionnaire, to assess the HPV-related knowledge in adult women in Spain. After reviewing literature and interviewing women with HPV infection, instrument items and domains were developed. A draft self-administered, multiple-choice questionnaire including relevant questions about HPV infection was pilot tested for comprehension and ease of completion. Psychometric evaluation of the final HPV-Know-Q questionnaire was performed in a cross-sectional, multicenter, validation study conducted in a representative sample of women with HPV infection attending gynecology consultations in Spain. A total of 349 (153 HPV+/196 HPV-) women participated. HPV-Know-Q questionnaire had acceptable metric properties of feasibility, internal consistency and temporal stability (reliability). Construct validity was supported by analyzing item-to-item and item-to-domain correlation and know groups validity, which discriminated the knowledge on HPV of women related to their infection status, abnormal cytology, educational level and prior HPV vaccination. Concurrent validity was demonstrated with a significant correlation with other scales measuring mental and sexual functioning. The HPV-Know-Q questionnaire, a novel and innovative PROM, showed acceptable psychometric properties to evaluate the HPV knowledge in women that support its use in daily medical practice and research.
