Filter by:The Hospital of Saint Denis (HSD) has been involved for several years in the dynamics of organ donation. In spite of the evolution of the practices of coordination of the collection of samples, the rate of refusal of organ donation is increasing in our hospital, contrary to the rest of France. Based on hypotheses derived from psychological and anthropological perspectives, this survey will provide first-hand information on the personal, family and cultural issues related to organ donation. It will be a question of identifying and locating individual and collective representations concerning death, its definition, and the associated symbols and rites. Based on the collection of these representations, we will be able to propose hypotheses of a psychological, social and anthropological nature on resistance to organ donation.
In french context, simulation training is not well implemented in medical school, mainly in psychiatry. We aim to build a formative and summative assessment tool of competences specific to this pedagogic context, so as to support its development. This studies aims to explore learning process and factors supporting or preventing from learning of medical students during simulation in psychiatry. A convenient sample of 72 voluntary participants, allocated among 6 groups of around 12 students, will be recruited at Paris Descartes, Paris Diderot and Brest Universities between september of 2018 and june of 2019. Each participant will complete 6 hours of psychiatric simulation training, dealing with mood disorders, anxious disorders, eating disorders, borderline disorders, substance abuse and schizophrenia. Participant will be offered to complete a portfolio about learning process during the trimester they are involved, a concept gap before and after each training and the " Learning Effectiveness Inventory Scale "at the end of simulation. A purposive sample of students will have to complete a face-to-face semi-interview (until reaching data saturation). Video record of simulation and audio-record of debriefing will be analysed to enhance triangulation process of analysis.
Pain is a common experience in youth and influences youth long after the painful situations are over. Youth memory of pain after surgery can affect painful experiences in the future. Negative memories and feelings of pain, like remembering more pain than the actual level of pain experienced are linked to anxiety for future surgery. Research has found that children's memories of pain is linked to anxiety, pain-related fear, and confidence. Children's memories for pain can be altered after a visit to the hospital, but only a couple of studies have look at this. The study will be one of the first to look at how well a parent-led memory reframing intervention to reduce youth's negative memories of surgery. We want to look at how a parent-led memory reframing session on youth's post-surgical pain memory. The study will include 90 youth who have a chest wall surgery or a spinal fusion surgery at the Alberta Children's Hospital. They will be recruited at the Alberta Children's Hospital. There will be pain tests in the form of surveys 1-3 weeks before surgery, pain monitoring in the hospital for a couple of days, pain monitoring 1-2 weeks after surgery, a clinic visit 2-4 weeks after surgery for a memory reframing session, and pain monitoring 6 weeks after surgery in the form of a telephone interview.
