Introduction: Autonomy is often stated as an objective in TPE. However, this notion is not clearly defined and its operationalisation is left to the discretion of the teams. Insofar as representations guide practices, are representations of autonomy among healthcare professionals involved in TPE programmes a good indicator of their reported practices? Methods: An inductive qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was carried out with 8 healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, dieticians and pharmacists) practising in France, supplemented by a Q. sort questionary. Results and discussion: For the points on which there was agreement, autonomy was defined as the ability to implement self-monitoring and self-care skills. The point of disagreement in the representation of autonomy among carers lies in the following question: who defines autonomy, the patient or the carer? When autonomy is defined by the carer, carers seem to adopt more ambivalent postures (the aim of which is to confront the educator's norm). Conversely, when autonomy is defined by the patient, the carers seem to rely on more endogenous postures (the aim of which is for the patient to discover his or her own norm). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As the department's team had been renewed in less than two years, it was necessary to invent a method to improve cohesion and communication, and to enhance the skills of professionals. This led to the creation of a training program using a variety of methods (theoretical training, care approaches and quality coffees)., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

For the past three years, the Institut de formation interhospitalier Théodore-Simon (Ifits) has been embarking on a magnificent adventure to meet its student nurses, collecting their words and testimonials in a series of podcasts, the main aim of which is to shed as much light as possible on the reality of nursing studies. This article retraces the genesis of the project and demonstrates the added value of this tool for future professionals and trainers alike., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Introduction: The 2009 Hospital Patient Health Territory Law included Therapeutic Patient Education of the patient (TPE) in the patient care journey and established a regulatory framework. Nevertheless, the organization and funding of the TPE at the hospital seems to vary between regions or between institutions. Objective: To realize a national inventory of the TPE organization at the hospital and to identify possible difficulties and levers. Methods: This qualitative survey by semi-directional interviews was conducted by telephone using an interview guide to the 29 cross units patient education (UTEP) identified in the University or Regional Hospitals of France. Results: Twenty-four UTEPs (83%) responded. The number of approved programs ranges from 6 to 307 with few cross-cutting and rare disease programs. The TPE is funded by outpatient activity, but the method of calculation varies according to the Health Regional Agency. Seven hospitals have integrated the education file into the shared computer file. The main difficulties are lack of time, funding and bringing patients back. The levers are the coordination of the TPE within the institution (place of the UTEP and collaboration with the directions and authorities), the motivation and involvement of the TPE teams, communication. Discussion and conclusion: Several courses of action can be proposed, such as the development of e-TPE and the development of the care partnership. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: According to the WHO, therapeutic patient education (TPE) addresses the patient and his family, but in the majority of cases, it is the patient who benefits the most from the educational program. However, it is likely that patients in turn transmit knowledge and/or competencies to their caregivers. According to this hypothesis, a "Halo effect" would result from the therapeutic patient education. The objectives of this study were: (1) to highlight, with educated patients and their caregivers, the existence of this Halo effect; (2) to describe the consequences of the halo effect, both on patients and their caregivers; (3) to identify the knowledge/competencies transmited which had the greatest impact for both partners. Method: Patients, who participated in 15 TPE programs organized by the Montpellier University Hospital in 2020 as well as their caregivers, were submitted to two separate questionnaires to be completed online via Google form. All analyzes were performed at 5% alpha risk using R software version 4.0.4 (The R Foundation, 1020 Vienna, Austria). The analyzes are descriptive and analytical using parametric tests or their equivalent when their performance conditions were not met. The socio-demographic characteristics and statements concerning the use of TPE of patients were compared with those of their caregivers. Results: One hundred fifty-seven patients (62.7% women, mean age: 53) and 59 caregivers (57.6% women, mean age: 54, mostly wifes) answered the questionnaires. 84.9% of patients (p) recognize having transmitted knowledge/competencies to their caregivers (a) and the latter confirm (86.2%), i.e. a p-value of 0.98. These would encourage caregivers to better understand the disease (p = 69.9%; a = 83.1%) with a p < 0.001, and are considered, on both sides, useful in helping the patient to cope with emergencies (p = 68.3%; a = 74.6%), to better manage his illness (p = 61.6%; a = 64.4%) and his diet (p = 78.4%; a = 81.4%) daily, to provide him a better psychological support (p = 56.6%; a = 64.4%). The Halo effect seems to be less effective in terms of stress management, quality of sleep and of interpersonal and social relationships. Patients and caregivers express non-contradictory opinions, although the responses of the latter are consistently of a higher percentage than those of the patients. Finally, patients want their caregivers to participate in the TPE program, but only to a part of it (p = 49.3%; a = 60%). Discussion and conclusion: A Halo effect exists. Patients who in turn educate their caregiver can benefit from useful daily help, thanks to a better understanding of the disease by the latter. As a result, the caregiver better participates in the management of the patient's therapy. The Halo effect, therefore, not only affects the caregiver's empowerment, but more generally contributes to the spread of health skills which should be taken into account when considering the economy of TPE as well as the future of TPE programs which should involve more the caregivers.

Introduction: The number of students with disabilities in higher education is increasing. Dyslexia is the most common form of disability. Few reports on this subject focus on health-sector education in France., Objectives: The survey sought to characterize and understand the support provided in nursing training institutes with regard to dyslexia., Methods: A mixed survey was carried out in 2022, mainly involving disability referents in nursing institutes. A national questionnaire collected 113 responses from metropolitan and overseas France, then three focus groups brought together twenty-eight participants from ten different regions., Results: In 2022, the most frequent measures were related to assessments and institutional communication. However, they lacked structure. There were still gaps, especially in the area of work placement., Discussion: In addition to the disability referents, all stakeholders must be made aware of the needs of students with dyslexia. Greater visibility of disability could also change attitudes in the health care sector., Conclusion: Specific support for dyslexia has been introduced in nursing training institutes. Its development requires a change in the attitudes of the stakeholders. It could then be extended to other health training courses.

The study analyses people's interpretation of selected French print advertisements using the tools of post-Gricean pragmatics, especially Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory. After explaining the functioning of the inferential model of communication and, within it, the role of implicature (according to the principle of relevance), the paper then turns to the results of a practical study comprising four selected French print advertisements from the banking field, published after the onset of the financial crisis. Following on the study, a number of the advertising interpretations which were arrived at via implicature are quoted and analysed with respect to their strength and the processing effort needed to construct them. Our analysis presents meaningful insights into contemporary French banking advertising communications by pointing out the shift towards implicit communication, via weak implicatures, and the endeavour to replace banking jargon by general concepts (confidence, optimism, future, team etc.) which are reaffirmed.

Abstract: The need of plasma derivatives increases in France. The Établissement français du sang (EFS) carries out plans for supplying plasma to the Laboratoire français du fractionnement et des biotechnologies (LFB). Different kinds of actions are taken or will be taken according to the way of plasma processing. For plasma issued from whole blood, the increase is correlated with the increase of whole blood collection for the patients’ need of red cells concentrates and the optimized plasma volume of plasma concentrate. For plasma issued from combined aphaeresis and the production of pooled platelets concentrates, synthetic media is favoured. Plasma aphaeresis is a specific way to satisfy requirements of the LFB. Communication choice of the blood collection''s place, effects of the new law on blood donors selection, the process of aphaeresis collection, blood tests qualification are subjects of study and actions.

The following paper gives us the opportunity to meet and pay tribute to François Jacquemot, French music therapist, co-founder and director of the European Music Therapy Institute in Metz and co-founder of Fédération française de musicothérapie (French Music Therapy Federation). Jacquemot passed away during the winter of 2007. Not only was he very much involved with the development of music therapy in France and internationally, he also influenced many generations of music therapists and practitioners in the fields of mental health and cognitive impairment. Here are two short texts written by Jacquemot. The first one, L'objet sonore (the sound object) explains his concept of psychomusical intervention by demonstrating influences of sound on an individual, starting at birth. The second text, La voix (the voice)…, is more of a reflection on the power of voice and song. A clinical example illustrates the impact of his voice on his own identity building. Although these texts are already 15 years old, they are still very relevant. They give us the opportunity to deepen our reflection on music, sound and voice. Jacquemot, this is how I would affectionately call him, had a deep and rich voice, a sparkling laugh, and a true sight… and though his writings, he is still with us! [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents the author's views on sociologist Paul Beaud. Beaud is stated to have made major contributions to contemporary sociology in France. Through his works, Beaud is stated to have depicted the intelligence of the country. Communication was not considered an ideology. The author and Beaud used communication in their own respective ways. According to the author, the routes of Beaud and the author have recrossed when the latter became a political journalist. The author states that Beaud's ideology has helped him and made an influence on his profession.

Banks's Chasing Empire across the Sea provides a striking "Atlantic World " synthesis investigating the role of communications in the management of France's western empire. Banks has left some room for other issues to be raised, especially that of the role of "old colonial hands." The frequent occurrence of a metropole—colony—metropole career trajectory meant that the colonial administration contained many who had been in the colonies themselves, or knew or were related to people who were or had been there. The possibility that such experienced people may have had an exceptional ability to understand problems in the colonies is worthy of additional investigation, and several examples are offered.

The article presents information on the first congress of the French Association of Sociology, where 1015 speakers gathered and proposed a communication in a network set of themes, in addition to the participation of invited lecturers. Among them 127 benefited from the occasion to present two at four communications, whereas some made a presentation grouped on a total of 1168 communications. This congress is the occasion to give a synthetic image of the subjects for conversation which animate sociologists in France. At the congress complementary aspects of an open lexical analysis and an accumulation of closed variables were discussed. The lexical analysis is based on a census of occurrences of words, syntagms or groups words between them, without holding account, initially at least, of the variables which are likely to support these occurrences. It results from the families of lexical forms, devoid forms in themselves of signification, but which they can then reconstruct by attributing a clean logic to a continuity of frequent words.

The article examines the potential of the Prospéro program, for analyzing the abstracts of the first congress of the French Sociological Association. During the first congress of the Association, a work containing the summaries of the 1068 communications announced in about 43 thematic networks was distributed. This gathering appears as an unsurpassed opportunity to have a state of French sociology, even if reside uncertainties as for the representativeness of this corpus in comparison with discipline. Here, at first sight, a typical corpus of those which one analyzes using the Prospéro software--is about a great number of texts, all written in the same language, by actors of the same discipline, sharing a common vocabulary and concepts even if their concerns differ. The activity of coding of the expressions is one of the central methods of work with the software. It functions indeed on the idea according to which the researcher must assume the responsibility for the operations of coding and interpretation.

The French healthcare system is currently experiencing large changes. The edict dated 24 April 1996 concerning the reform of hospitalisation, the recent law of 4 March 2002 on patients’ rights and access to information generate a new approach on design of information and communication systems. The study carried out in the frame of this work aims to evaluate the stakes of construction of the Hospital Information System (HIS) incorporating the biomedical equipment. It also attempts to evaluate the technical, semantic or sociological obstacles for the implementation of such system. The objective is to suggest a suitable architecture of the hospital computer system able to overcome these obstacles and then to define several rules that could allow the smooth construction of such system. The information created within a hospital can be divided into three categories: the medical data concerning the health condition of a patient, the administration and logistic information necessary to the hospital management, and all the information to evaluate the activity of this hospital. The biomedical equipment, as tools to produce healthcare, are both producers and consumers of these three types of data. Their communication with the HIS contributes to the fulfilment of the operational and strategic targets of a hospital. By evaluating the new technological developments of biomedical equipment, the biomedical engineer must give rise to a new approach on healthcare organisation so that new technics replace and cancel the old ones. The engineer’s knowledge in norms, standards and inter-operability capabilities must orientate users towards the purchase of equipment with communication facilities. This will push the equipment suppliers to focus their development efforts towards inter-operability. In the next decade, the biomedical engineer will play a strategic role in the elaboration of the HIS. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Introduction: In France and Belgium, since 2013, written and oral testimonies on the Internet, on the radio, in podcasts and in comics have made the notion of obstetrical violence public. Since the summer of 2017, audiovisual representations show the faces of victims and their allies. This media coverage has not yet been studied., Purpose of Research: The aim of the study is to describe the formal characteristics and dissemination strategies of audiovisual representations of obstetric violence in France and Belgium. Their place in the history of the media emergence of the concept is described., Results: The result of the study is to qualify as &#8220;facing&#8221; (envisagement) the showing of faces in audiovisual representations of obstetrical violence. Seeing the faces of victims underlines their legitimacy, which contributes to the recognition of the concept of obstetric violence., Conclusions: The face-to-face testimony to denounce obstetric violence is thus part of the feminist tradition of showing the body in the fight against gender violence.

Introduction: The challenges of communicating with the population during a health crisis are multiple, with the ultimate objective of getting as many people as possible to apply preventive measures., Aim: The objective of this article is to present the results of an evaluation of the communication contents on COVID-19 prevention broadcast by Santé publique France (the national public health agency) on March 2020, for the general population. Two studies, one quantitative and one qualitative, were carried out during the first lockdown. The "Coronavirus Alert" communication campaign then included four media contents (spots and posters) describing health protective behaviors and signs of the disease., Results: Recall of the campaign was particularly high, with nine in ten spontaneously citing messages from the campaign. Over 90% found it easy to understand and useful, although 20% found it induced anxiety. The declared impact on behavior was also very high, with 97% of people affirming to be encouraged by the media contents to implement health protective behaviors. There was, however, lower adherence to the campaign among men and low-income people.The qualitative study clarified some of the results: the clarity of the materials was attributed to the pictograms illustrating the health protective behaviors, and the tone of the spots was judged appropriate to the seriousness of the health situation., Conclusion: These studies highlight significant exposure to the supports tested and a positive perception of them. Their lessons were useful in continuing the dissemination of the health protection tools produced by Santé publique France.
