Many elderly suffer from nutritional problems that can cause (or can be caused by) a number of complications such as weakened immune systems and chronic health conditions (diabetes type 2, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases or even osteoporosis). Through appropriate adjustments in the diets, on the basis of nutritional advice, the burden of established diseases as well as the risks of developing further conditions can be diminished. The goal of our proposed project LIFANA is to develop and evaluate the LIFANA Nutrition Solution to support healthy nutrition.. This may include general preferences, such as culture, taste, and budget, but more importantly automated and personalised nutritional recommendations based on advice provided by professional nutritionists and allergists. This is a national project co-funded by the European Union. One of the activities of the project is to collect information through a survey with patients. These questions will contribute to creating solutions that can explore the perspectives of patients.
Relatives of intensive care patients are at risk of developing symptoms of anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder resulting in impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Recovery programs have been tested, but its effectiveness is sparse. The hypothesis is that relatives to former intensive care patients will improve their HRQOL one year after intensive care. We want to determine whether relatives to former intensive care patient's benefits from a recovery programme with improved HRQOL, Sense Of Coherence (SOC) and symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD compared to standard care one year after intensive care.
With 11.000 deaths and 150.000 attempts each year in France, the suicide represents an important public health problem. For each death by suicide, one can count 6 "direct" bereaved people and 20 people in more indirect connection with this mourning (Terra 2001). In term of impact, there is thus 300.000 people (annually) touched by the deaths by suicide and 3.750.000 people (annually) touched by the "suicide attempt" of a close relative. It seems indeed important to have Public Health data on this cascade repercussion of the suicide attempt. A suicide attempt propagates a suffering cascade on the various circles of the family and close entourage, which can be measured in term of traumatic stress and medico-economic impact. Objective = To measure the medico-economic impact on the entourage, in the 3 months following the suicide attempt and at 1 year.
