Full textDescription : Support Cares appeared in France in the 90s. Heirs of Palliative Care Mouvement and chronic diseases medicine take a singular place in cancer departments. Nevertheless, the definition of Support Cares is not harmonized within studies, practices and speeches.The stake in this work is to put this report, to analyze the causes then to propose perspectives leading to a common positioning in the contemporary medical landscape. It will so be a question of demonstrating that a definition of Support Cares is advisable and that a base of appropriate convictions allows it. Methods : A literature review by keywords was led to describe the use of Support Cares definition in the studies concerning them. Then, Recurring axes were cleared. The Support cares are defined as the quality of life improvement, treating the side effects, the care organization model or from the care duration. This literature review gives rise to a return by themes.A field work, based on the observation and interviews with 32 professionals, patients, relatives and associations was conducted within four Care establishments : Curie institute, Saint Cloud Curie Institue, Kremlin Bicêtre Institute, Henri Mondor Hospital. It allowed to test axes stemming from the literature review and to highlight new ones. Time, projects, body and notion of collective proved to be in the heart of the Care Actors speeches.This work is qualitative and not representative.Analysis and discussion : A first time reveals the references with which Support Cares are connected and the tensions they produce in relation to each other. The Support Cares are shared between philosophies of the action defining the disease as reduction of capacities, and Care philosophies repressing notions such as autonomy by studying the relationship. A second time allows to condense in three unanimous axes the Support cares positioning. First of all, Support Cares opress their actions an understanding time as real-life thickness. It is a question of accompanying the patient in a unique path progress, and registering the time of clocks, techniques and physiology in the time of the one who lives the disease event. Then, the Support Cares implement an understanding of the care as a collective act. The Care team establishes with the ill person during his disease. It understands nursing and not nursing professionals, as well as members of the civil society. It forms in the wills of needs and according to the stakes which mark out the route of the patient. Finally, the Support Cares break the knowledge medical monopoly on the disease. Every situation requires the collective construction of the desease understanding. It is a question of understanding the disease as crossroads of medical, technical, social, cultural, pasychological knowledge, but also as existential and emotional questioning.The deep conviction of the Support Cares is that the plurality of the approaches and the looks enable by exchanging to draw with the patient his possibilities and to bring that about

Full textThe management of a cancer patient requires, to the caregivers, finding the best antineoplastic therapy in combination with support involvement from the diagnosis to the stage after cancer or death. During the course of care, patient and family will be confronted with different teams, different visions and different treatment approaches of their care. The work presented starts threw an analysis of French organizations of supportive care and management of iatrogenic effects due to three main types of symptomatic therapeutics: erythropoietins, bisphosphonates and opioids. Based on this photograph of accompanying cancer care, the development in an institution of an health care will be presented for ambulatory management of day hospital for chemotherapy administration, until full hospitalization in a pilot unit. The link, the differences and complementaries between the teams in curative and palliative phases will be discussed to define the role and importance of the overall look and unifying supportive care in oncology

Full textCancers causes a disruption in the lives of patients and their caregivers. They must assume new responsibilities that can lead to health problems, altered quality of life, and adjustment difficulties (e.g., impaired emotional, physical, social, and professional functioning, somatic symptoms, emotional distress). Thus, caregivers need support from health professionals to cope with their role but they frequently report unmet supportive care needs. This thesis work is a part of a more global research program and aims to better understand the supportive care needs of caregivers of cancer patients and their determinants, in particular through emotional processes. The first study of this work validated the French version of a scale assessing the unmet supportive care needs of caregivers of cancer patients. The second study identified profiles of caregivers at higher risk of having at least one moderate or high unmet supportive care need from intrapersonal factors (i.e. emotional distress) and socio-demographic and medical variables (e.g., age of patients and caregivers, metastatic cancer). Finally, the third study tested the theoretical model of the thesis work, already validated for cancer patients, which considers that the emotional competence of caregivers can reduce their unmet supportive care needs by reducing their anxiety and depression symptoms. The results highlight the importance of identifying and addressing the unmet supportive care needs of caregivers, especially related to cancer care, information, and psychological and emotional support. Some profiles of caregivers may represent a population at higher risk of having difficulties and requiring more attention from professionals. Finally, taking into account emotional processes, including emotional competence and anxiety and depression symptoms, may be essential in the supportive care of caregivers

Full textCancer treatment induces serious biopsychosocial consequences for patients. About 80% of patients feel pain, fatigue, and emotional impact can lead to anxiety. The quality of life (QoL) of people with cancer has become the major concern for the French Governement. Supportive care has developed since 2003 to that end and to lessen the side-effects incidence. It offers different types of monitoring including art-therapy. Prior studies have shown efficacy of therapies that are proposed to hospitalized patients. Improvement of QoL, fatigue and anxiety have been observed. All these studies show efficacy of art-therapy, regardless of duration and types of mediation.This study compares 2 experimental groups involved in different kind of art-therapy, with a control group (N=29). Openness and divergent thinking for creativity, QoL, anxiety and body image are explored with a standard assessment protocol submitted to participants in test and re-test (+3 months). The two art-therapies consist of 3 phases: relaxing, creating and debriefing. The 'Continuous Art-Therapy' (CAT) sessions have no predetermined order, number or theme, while 'Senses and Motives' (SEM) is a structured program of 6 art-therapeutic sessions. The quantitative results show that an art-therapy practice improves the sensation of physical well-being. CAT brings the level of anxiety of its participants down to a healthy level, and opens them to the action, whereas SEM reduces the feeling of fatigue and restores the body image. The qualitative analysis strengthens these findings and adds areas of improvement like self-esteem.An art-therapy program can be conceived with a structure and objectives in order to respond to the patients’ needs: self-esteem and body-image restorations, decreased anxiety. It can associate with medical treatments for a better acceptance or physical well-being

Full textMayotte a French overseas department since 2011, is part of the comorian archipelago from which it was separated from the State of Union of the Comoros islands since 1975. The introduction of a visa in 1995 and the order n° 2002-688 delivered on 12 july 2004 and entered into force on April 1st 2005 with regard to the extension of social security in Mayotte exclude the foreign sick from Mayotte's health system. This leads to a process of medical evacuation following an illegal immigration way that causes shipwrecks and the violation of the patient's rights. The attraction of Mayotte and Mainland France for disadvantaged populations lead to conflict situations and competition in the access to health and social protection. Mayotte's disadvantaged populations, who are struggling to catch up with the mainland, do not get along with that competition. At the same time the illegal immigrants living clandestinely and with the threat of expulsion are facing difficulties to assert their right to health care and to benefit from social system assistance. Obstacles are numerous and most of the time considerable, mainly because of discrimination, because of their judicial status, of disparity in their social and economical difficulties and because of their generaly very hard living conditions. The control of migratory flow and the fight against illegal immigrant remain the top priorities of the French government policy as far as immigration is concerned. The singularity of the situation in the department of Mayotte and the huge migratory flows that have been observed led healthcare authorities to handle migratory movements related to illegal medical evacuations. France has a healthcare policy and continues to support the Union of Comoros in the effort to improve healthcare access and quality, through support programs to health sector. These programs aim at improving the health of mothers and children, mainly in reducing maternal mortality. Through its organisation AFD, France aims at supporting health ministry in elaborating and implementing public policies and helping comorian state to put in place regulatory mechanisms of a private service within public sector and to reform the national pharmacy. This work focus on the issues related to the right to social protection and the health law for foreigners on the national territory, in mainland France and in Mayotte as well. Diversity of national laws applicable in Mayotte is a significant barrier to local devices in terms of medical and social assistance. It is necessary to seek legal solutions related to standardization of this health and social law in order to better the healthcare system. During our field research we observed that local devices such as the "pink warrant" and the "good AGD" are not at all equivalent to the national devices (AME and CMUc)

Full textDespite increasing progress in screening and treatment, it is estimated that 2.7 million new cancer cases are diagnosed annually in Europe. Over half of these cases in men and more than a third in women are considered incurable at diagnosis. At this stage, the goals shift from disease control to improving the quality of life. However, during the course of the disease, the prevalence and impact of symptoms in advanced cancer negatively affect patients' quality of life and lead to undesirable polypharmacy. Indeed, this polypharmacy can potentially cause adverse effects and detrimental drug interactions for the patient's quality of life. As a result, the scientific literature is increasingly interested in poly palliation, the idea that a single treatment could, through its pharmacological effects, address multiple symptoms simultaneously. This concept has particularly emerged following the definition of symptom clusters, which involve the potential interaction of symptoms sharing a common epidemiology, such as the anorexia-cachexia cluster or the neuropsychological cluster. Mirtazapine is a tetracyclic antidepressant that, based on in vitro effects on receptors such as HT3 and H1 receptors, suggests clinical efficacy in various symptoms such as nausea, anorexia, depression, breathlessness, and sleep disorders. However, the literature data remain unclear regarding the actual effects and safety of this treatment for alleviating various symptoms in advanced cancer. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review to identify the symptoms for which this therapy may be relevant in the management of patients with advanced cancer. This review led to the development of a controlled randomized study to evaluate the efficacy of Mirtazapine compared to another antidepressant (Escitalopram) in managing the poly-symptomatology associated with advanced cancer. The published protocol of this study is reported in this manuscript. Finally, it would be highly reductionist at this stage to overlook the advent of new therapeutic techniques that challenge the concept of advanced cancer. To address this, we relied on the management model of peritoneal carcinomatosis to attempt to identify the epidemiology of a symptom cluster (the neuropsychological cluster) during the surgical management of peritoneal carcinomatosis. This allowed us to propose an intervention to improve outcomes for the patient and the healthcare system. The proposed intervention needs to be evaluated to determine its effectiveness and implementability

Full textOur research about computerized equipment of annotations and professional writing practices has articulated Computer Sciences and Communication and Information Sciences in order for us to develop a software prototype for the support of organisation of care in oncology thanks to an empirical and longitudinal study. This articulation has relied on 4 years long of multimodal ethnography, a conceptualization based upon Grounded Theory rules, a model and a software development that we iteratively conduct simultaneously with this qualitative inquiry. This original combination of methodologies from different domains has been remarkably rich to help us build a specific point of view about oncology hospital organizations, and about the accomplishment of care work and about patients' management in these complex professional organizations. The modern medical and hospital rationalizations, including ICT and e-health tools, are in the confluence of various movements that impact upon several elements of hospital organizations, and upon medical and care practices. We focused our study on the situated writing practices of caregivers and specifically on the richness of the materiality of writings that led us to question notions such as information systems, collective and distributed production of knowledge, and the documentary production cycles for the organization of activity. We are making the hypothesis that annotations can be opportunely considered as constitutive elements in the production of "organizational texts" that are in the core of the support of the organization and the realization of collective and individual work. Caregivers rely on these "organizational texts" that they build, actualize and stabilize thanks to what we call the "annotative practice" that enables them to apprehend their complex environments of work, and to handle the dynamics and the variety of situations and to manage patients. We will show how the characterization of this "annotative practice" helped us to develop a simple, robust and open software model. We will detail the iterative process between inquiry, analysis, conceptualizations and developments that led us to stabilize our model and our web prototype that implement this annotative practice. We will conclude our work by showing that this prototype, thanks to the numerous context displays of annotations networks, thanks to its flexibility and evolutivity achieves the support of the collective organization of patients' care in oncology, as much as it seems to be relevant in other exploitation context of collective organization of work

Full textLearning health systems (LHS) are gradually emerging and propose a complimentary approach to translational research challenges by implementing close coupling of health care delivery, research and knowledge translation. To support coherent knowledge sharing, the system needs to rely on an integrated and efficient data integration platform. The framework and its theoretical foundations presented here aim at addressing this challenge. Data integration approaches are analysed in light of the requirements derived from LHS activities and data mediation emerges as the one most adapted for a LHS. The semantics of clinical data found in biomedical sources can only be fully derived by taking into account, not only information from the structural models (field X of table Y), but also terminological information (e.g. International Classification of Disease 10th revision) used to encode facts. The unified framework proposed here takes this into account. The platform has been implemented and tested in context of the TRANSFoRm endeavour, a European project funded by the European commission. It aims at developing a LHS including clinical activities in primary care. The mediation model developed for the TRANSFoRm project, the Clinical Data Integration Model, is presented and discussed. Results from TRANSFoRm use-cases are presented. They illustrate how a unified data sharing platform can support and enhance prospective research activities in context of a LHS. In the end, the unified mediation framework presented here allows sufficient expressiveness for the TRANSFoRm needs. It is flexible, modular and the CDIM mediation model supports the requirements of a primary care LHS

Full textIntroduction: Hematologic malignancies require aggressive treatment, including intensivechemotherapy and sometimes hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The repercussions of cancer and its treatment is recognized for their significant long-term adverse effects on health-related quality of life. As a part of cancer treatment, physical exercise is known to improve mainly physical functioning and fatigue, but there are still questions regarding its impact on psychological and emotional functioning. Nonetheless, heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) is recognized for its positive effects on autonomic nervous system balance and emotional self-regulation. Recent research in neurocardiology has shown the benefits of Cardiac Coherence (CC) training on the autonomic balance and the psycho-emotional state. Method: The objectives of the research undertaken in this thesis are to evaluate the effects of a nonpharmacological intervention on quality of life in adult hematologic patients in post-treatment time. The recovery of physiological balance is indexed by the Heart Rate Variability (HRV), which is recognized as a window of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). We present four studies: an experimental study in healthy subjects to better understand the mechanisms of HRV during slow and deep breathing; a feasibility study on the implementation of an APA program in hematology; preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effects of a program associating APA and CC on HRV, quality of life, fatigue and anxiety-depression; and a qualitative study evaluating the program’s implementation and the effects of the both interventions. Results: Our results first show the feasibility of APA and CC in these patients. Although the results of the HRV analysis are inconclusive, they tend to confirm that CC intervention results in stimulation of vagal tone. Qualitative evaluation provides us with many important insights into the appropriateness of the interventions to the specific needs of the patients and their effectiveness in optimizing a return to the active daily life. Discussion: This research provides new experimental evidence in understanding the mechanisms of cardiac coherence and its applications in the clinical setting. Further experimentation is still needed to deepen our knowledge in the context of a psychophysiological approach in APA on cancer

Full textThe position of nursing team managers in public hospital facilities has changed dramatically over the past ten years. It is now strongly focused on organization and administrative tasks, which draw them away from their role as nursing team managers dedicated to quality care to patients. Some of them resent this change in their job profile and find it very difficult to cope with this evolution. The intent of this thesis is to look into what causes this strain and to examine which elements in the training program could help prevent it. Among those elements, could research training (in a specific type of research to be defined further on) enable nursing team managers to enjoy their professional activity? First the author will define the function of nursing team manager through its history, its evolution and training methods. The author will then consider its specificities in the present day, based on three primary concepts: organization, management and support. Finally he will clarify the ‘care’ issue in the scope of the nursing team manager’s activity. These elements will give an understanding of how the research approach can promote the ‘art’ of ‘caring’ in the nursing team manager’s activity

Full textHospitalization is a life stage that faces a large majority of older people. This experience is often accompanied by both physical and psychological declines and means, for most of older people the beginning of the end. Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), this doctoral dissertation has two objectives. (1) To qualitatively define an autonomy supportive environment in after-care and rehabilitation services (ACRS). (2) To know the impact of causality orientations on patients' perceptions of an autonomy supportive or controlled environment and the associated motivational and emotional consequences. Study 1 showed that healthcare professionals conveyed an idealized image of their work environment and the care they provide. Patients (study 2) indicated many constraints that mitigated the effect of this positive view of an autonomy supportive environment and reduced their ability to experience it. Study 3 demonstrated that patient's causality orientations were a variable which interacted with the perception of ACRS environment, did not induce the same motivational and emotional consequences. Thus, these studies contribute to the self-determination theory in the health setting by showing the determining role of patients’ motivation. It is therefore necessary for healthcare professionals to be able to feed, maintain and support patients’ motivation. In the light of the contribution of the self-determination theory, a reflection about practical recommendations and future lines of research will be proposed

Full textOverexpression of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer is associated with poor prognosis. Trastuzumab improves overall survival but it is associated with cardiotoxicity, including a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The objective of this thesis work was to evaluate, in patients followed in medical oncology for HER2-positive breast cancer, and treated exclusively with trastuzumab, the effects of a supervised, tailored exercise program (55 minutes, 3 days/week, 12 weeks), combining moderate and high intensities, on cardiotoxicity, as assessed by LVEF and left ventricular longitudinal deformation (LVLD) measured by echocardiography; and on cardiorespiratory fitness, fatigue, pain and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Fifty-eight patients were randomized into two groups: control (CG, n=28, 49.9±9 years) and training (TG, n=30, 50.4±7.8 years). All variables were analyzed pre- (T0) and post-intervention (T3) and 3 months later (T6). At T0, VO2 peak (mL.min-1.kg-1), measured by a maximal graded exercise, was low in both groups (GE: 24.7 ± 1.4 and GC: 23.8 ± 1.3) without the difference being significant. At T3, LVEF and LVLD did not decrease compared to baseline values. The percentage of patients who did not have cardiac toxicity was greater in the TG (89.3%) than in the CG (84%). In those who developed cardiotoxicity (n=7), LVEF decreased by 10.8% at T3. Maximal workload (MW), VO2 peak and VO2/HR were greater compared to values recorded at T0. Training improves aerobic capacity highlighted by delayed onset of both ventilatory thresholds with higher average workload and VO2 in the TG. Lactatemia was not significantly different but the MW was greater than those developed in pre-training, indicating lower metabolic acidosis. Training intensities increased from 70 to 87 W at base and from 92 to 110 W at peak. In addition, scores for general and physical fatigue, interference and pain intensity decreased, and those for HRQoL increased. Improvements in MW and VO2 peak were associated with less general fatigue, lower pain interference and better HRQoL. Finally, no variable was associated with the scores of the various dimensions of the QLQ-C30, except for age, which was significantly associated with the "fatigue" dimension (OR: 0.081, 95% CI [0.007-0.893]; p<0.04). Accordingly, patients over 50 years old are more likely to feel increased fatigue. At T6, although some variables were slightly lower than those measured at T3, they remained higher than those observed at T0.Our results demonstrate that patients with HER2-positive breast cancer undergoing adjuvant trastuzumab tolerated the exercise training well, without side-effects. Furthermore, this supervised exercise program is an effective strategy to limit the cardiac toxicity of trastuzumab. Moreover, training improves cardiorespiratory and metabolic capacity during exercise (maximum and sub maximal), reduces fatigue and pain, and ultimately improves the quality of life of breast cancer patients. These beneficial effects were prolonged 3 months after the intervention. Tailored training may therefore provide additional benefits on top of the usual cancer treatment and prevent exacerbations of physiological toxicities that occur as a result of treatment

Full textThis doctoral research is part of the unique approach to care, a notion that we (re)question in the light of health information and communication technologies. Our reflection seeks to understand how and in what way a relationship of care mediated by digital and distant communication tools can claim the virtues of solicitude, proximity and shared responsibility specific to the ethics of care.Using the capabilities approach (Sen, 2010), we question in particular the resources, skills or abilities mobilized in digital care practices that focus on "caring for the other" and those that focus on "caring for oneself", in order to specify the meaning of joint action to maintain the person's autonomy and constitute an enabling intervention (Falzon, 2004). This leads us to formulate the hypothesis that the care approach, in the context of digital mediatization, results from socio-affective and socio-organizational provisions focused on digital practices of support, assistance and accompaniment. Our research includes the analysis of domestic and professional care work between subjects aged 65 to 85 years, their natural caregivers (relatives or trustworthy persons) and health professionals involved in their care at home, targeting the different health professionals (medical and paramedical). As such, we seek to characterize the actions and interactions carried out with the use of socio-technical devices in the continuum of domestic and professional care work based on the disease monitoring acts (diabetes/cancer) associated with daily life. To do this, our research is based on two case studies, each aimed at characterizing and specifying the socio-technical care environment (ESTC): one focusing on the observation of the care logics associated with the digital uses of elderly people and close carers, the other focusing on the study of professional digital practices carried out using the PAACO-Globule device as a media care instrument. The investigation methods are mainly based on direct observation and data collection, using quantitative and qualitative analysis tools focused on conducting questionnaire surveys, interviews and physical and online ethnographic studies and interviews (Barats, 2013). Our approach is mainly inductive and comprehensive. The purpose of our work is to shed light more particularly on knowledge on ethical issues, the sociology of uses related to geronologies and telehealth (Rialle, 2009) as well as the conditions of organizational and social acceptability of sociotechnical devices associated with a care approach

In some countries including France, terminally ill patients who die of cardiac arrest after a planned withdrawal of life support may be considered as organ donors (controlled DCDD). Before 2005 French rules were not designed for such practices. With regard to patients in final stage of incurable diseases, the law number 2005-370 of April 22, 2005 authorizes the withholding or withdrawal of treatments when they appear "useless, disproportionate or having no other effect than solely the artificial preservation of life". Advocates of the controlled DCDD argue that the end-of-life care plan should incorporate the patient's wishes concerning organ donation and the public interest of transplantation. Until 2014, most French medical academics regarded the perceived conflict of interest that would arise for clinicians treating potential donors as a major ethical question. As the French program started at the end of 2014 in a few pilot sites, we thus examine the practical, legal and ethical issues that arise in considering controlled DCDD, including determination of the donor's overall benefit, debates relating to the diagnosis and time of death, and factors determining how life-sustaining treatment is to be withdrawn

Full textIn many countries around the world, the number of elderly people living alone has been increasing. In the last few years, a significant number of research projects on elderly people monitoring have been launched. Most of them make use of several modalities such as video streams, sound, fall detection and so on, in order to monitor the activities of an elderly person, to supply them with a natural way to communicate with their “smart-home”, and to render assistance in case of an emergency. This work is part of the Industrial Research ANR VERSO project, Sweet-Home. The goals of the project are to propose a domotic system that enables a natural interaction (using touch and voice command) between an elderly person and their house and to provide them a higher safety level through the detection of distress situations. Thus, the goal of this work is to come up with solutions for sound recognition of daily life in a realistic context. Sound recognition will run prior to an Automatic Speech Recognition system. Therefore, the speech recognition’s performances rely on the reliability of the speech/non-speech separation. Furthermore, a good recognition of a few kinds of sounds, complemented by other sources of information (presence detection, fall detection, etc.) could allow for a better monitoring of the person's activities that leads to a better detection of dangerous situations. We first had been interested in methods from the Speaker Recognition and Verification field. As part of this, we have experimented methods based on GMM and SVM. We had particularly tested a Sequence Discriminant SVM kernel called SVM-GSL (SVM GMM Super Vector Linear Kernel). SVM-GSL is a combination of GMM and SVM whose basic idea is to map a sequence of vectors of an arbitrary length into one high dimensional vector called a Super Vector and used as an input of an SVM. Experiments had been carried out using a locally created sound database (containing 18 sound classes for over 1000 records), then using the Sweet-Home project's corpus. Our daily sounds recognition system was integrated into a more complete system that also performs a multi-channel sound detection and speech recognition. These first experiments had all been performed using one kind of acoustical coefficients, MFCC coefficients. Thereafter, we focused on the study of other families of acoustical coefficients. The aim of this study was to assess the usability of other acoustical coefficients for environmental sounds recognition. Our motivation was to find a few representations that are simpler and/or more effective than the MFCC coefficients. Using 15 different acoustical coefficients families, we have also experimented two approaches to map a sequence of vectors into one vector, usable with a linear SVM. The first approach consists of computing a set of a fixed number of statistical coefficients and use them instead of the whole sequence. The second one, which is one of the novel contributions of this work, makes use of a discretization method to find, for each feature within an acoustical vector, the best cut points that associates a given class with one or many intervals of values. The likelihood of the sequence is estimated for each interval. The obtained likelihood values are used to build one single vector that replaces the sequence of acoustical vectors. The obtained results show that a few families of coefficients are actually more appropriate to the recognition of some sound classes. For most sound classes, we noticed that the best recognition performances were obtained with one or many families other than MFCC. Moreover, a number of these families are less complex than MFCC. They are actually a one-feature per frame acoustical families, whereas MFCC coefficients contain 16 features per frame

Full textThis research studies alternative housings for the elderly with frailty and dependence. These new habitats forms have been built in France since the end of the 1970th in order to deal with the shortcomings of the gerontological facilities: the traditional nursing homes, which are highly criticized, and the home-care support. The projects leaders aim to reinvent the place to grow old and to create new welcome and support facilities for the elderly until the end of life. We define these innovated habitats as experimental laboratory which aim to respond, in a different way, the unmet need of the elderly with frailty and dependence.This PhD is based on empirical research conducted in several alternative housings and 49 semi-structured interviews with actors operating in these (projects leaders, coordination and mediation teams, professional families and friend’s caregivers, users). From a comparative and a comprehensive approach, we can address convergence and divergence of the alternative housing, understand the social experiment path, return the logic and the dynamics of reception and support methodologies, evaluate stress points between the modelled field with the initiators and the field with experienced by users, but we can also question the scope and meaning of the gerontological alternative in a broader perspective. Indeed, alterative housings are initiated in a context promoting values like autonomy and self- realization which may be seen as new normative injunctions

Full textL’objectif de cette thèse était de comprendre l’état psychologique des femmes enceintes lors du dépistage du VIH dans les services de Prévention de la Transmission Mère-Enfant (PTME) du VIH à Bujumbura. Cette compréhension permettrait d’optimiser la prise en charge psychologique de ces femmes enceintes au moment du dépistage du VIH et de mettre en place un accompagnement psychosocial dans leur milieu de vie. De façon spécifique, ce travail visait à :(1) analyser le contenu verbal des entretiens de conseils pré et post-test tels qu’ils sont faits dans les services de PTME, et de les comparer avec les normes proposées en la matière par l’OMS ;(2) évaluer l’anxiété chez les femmes enceintes à différents moments du dépistage du VIH; (3) analyser les raisons du refus du dépistage et du renoncement aux soins par les femmes enceintes séropositives à VIH.
La recherche a été réalisée principalement auprès des femmes enceintes rencontrées dans les services de consultation prénatale à Bujumbura, capitale du Burundi. Les outils de récolte des données étaient des entretiens conseillers-femmes enceintes au cours des activités de dépistage, les échelles d’évaluation de l’anxiété (HADS et STAI), des questionnaires de rétention/impact de l’information, des focus groups et un récit de vie. Ces outils nous ont permis de recueillir des données que nous avons traitées qualitativement par analyse de contenu et quantitativement par des analyses statistiques avec le logiciel SPSS.
Les résultats sont présentés dans cinq études. Notre première étude a montré que l’adaptation locale du schéma proposé par l’OMS pour les conseils pré et post-test en dépistage prénatal du VIH est une nécessité. Cela permettrait aux conseillers de mieux communiquer avec les femmes enceintes. Les trois autres études portant sur l’évaluation de l’anxiété ont montré que les besoins psychologiques des femmes enceintes au cours du dépistage du VIH devraient être reconnus et pris en compte. La détection de l’anxiété devrait être systématique afin de commencer une prise en charge psychologique dès le début du processus de dépistage et ainsi aller au devant des conduites d’évitement. La cinquième et dernière étude a montré que la stigmatisation et ses conséquences seraient à la base du refus du dépistage du VIH et du traitement en cas de séropositivité. Dès lors, le suivi médical doit être associé à un suivi psychologique pour réaliser une prise en charge intégrée des femmes enceintes dans les services de PTME. En continuité avec cette prise en charge au niveau des structures de santé, des stratégies d’accompagnement psychosocial adéquates devraient être planifiées au niveau des communautés. En outre, nous recommandons des études visant les problématiques psychologiques et sociales liées au VIH/SIDA chez la femme enceinte au Burundi.
Abstract:The announcement of the diagnosis of a serious illness is always a difficult experience for the patient and to a lesser extent, to the doctor. When it comes to HIV / AIDS, the challenge is even more important that in many cases, this disease vehicle with shame, guilt and risk of stigmatization of HIV-positive person. For pregnant women in Burundi, the situation is even more worrying. Socio-cultural barriers cause avoidance of HIV testing, while the screening is a gateway to care for the prevention of HIV transmission from mother to child.
The objective of this thesis was to understand the psychological state of pregnant women in HIV testing services in the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV in Bujumbura. This understanding would maximize the psychological care of pregnant women at the time of HIV testing and to develop psychosocial support in their living environment. Specifically, this work aimed to: (1) analyzing the verbal content of counseling interviews pre and post-test as they are made in PMTCT services, and compare them with the proposed standards in this area by WHO, (2) assess anxiety in pregnant women at different stages of HIV testing, (3) analyze the reasons for refusal of screening and seeking care for pregnant HIV-positive.
The research was conducted mainly among pregnant women encountered in antenatal clinics in Bujumbura, Burundi's capital. Tools for data collection were interviews between counselors and pregnant women during routine screening, rating scales of anxiety (HADS and STAI), questionnaires of retention / impact of information, focus groups and a life story. These tools have allowed us to collect data that we have treated qualitatively by content analysis and quantitatively by statistical analysis using SPSS.
The results are presented in five studies. Our first study showed that local adaptation of the scheme proposed by the WHO for counseling pre and post-test in antenatal HIV testing is a necessity. This would allow counselors to better communicate with pregnant women. The other three studies of anxiety assessment showed that the psychological needs of pregnant women in HIV testing should be recognized and taken into account. Anxiety screening should be systematic to begin psychological support early in the process of HIV testing. The fifth and final study showed that stigma and its consequences would be the causes for refusal of HIV testing and treatment in HIV positive cases. Therefore, medical care should be combined with psychological support to achieve an optimal management of pregnant women in PMTCT services. In continuity with this support in the structures of health, psychosocial support strategies should be planned at the community level. In addition, we recommend studies related to psychological and social issues of HIV / AIDS among pregnant women in Burundi.

Full textMedical sector is a dynamic domain that requires continuous improvement of its business processes and assistance to the actors involved. This research focuses on the medical treatment process requiring prosthesis implantation. The specificity of such a process is that it makes in connection two lifecyclesbelonging to medical and engineering domains respectively. This implies several collaborative actions between stake holders from heterogeneous disciplines. However, several problems of communication and knowledge sharing may occur because of the variety of semantic used and the specific business practices in each domain. In this context, this PhD work is interested in the potential of knowledge engineering and product lifecycle management approaches to cope with the above problems. To do so, a conceptual framework is proposed for the analysis of links between the disease (medicaldomain) and the prosthesis (engineering domain) lifecycles. Based on this analysis, a semantic ontology model for medical domain is defined as part of a global knowledge-based PLM approach proposition. The application of the proposition is demonstrated through an implementation of useful function in the AUDROS PLM software

Full textThe French health-care system is currently faced with tensions arising from two different visions of health-care: the first one focuses on the unconditional care given to the patient in accordance with the humanistic tradition. The second one focuses on management priorities aiming for an efficient and productive management of hospitals. At the heart of a complex organizational structure lie the health managers, whose roles inevitably shift back and forth between a ‘company culture’ vision and that of ‘health-care culture’, thereby jeopardizing their professional position. Where do health managers stand and what is their future role? The aim of this study is to show the difficulties of juggling the humanistic tradition with the management-based approach and defining their identity. Health managers often find themselves in overlapping positions and strive to combine and apply the two visions in their work on a daily basis. In need of a model to resist management pressures, they act as a ‘support function’. This support stance helps them redefine their position and balances out the negative effects of technical management in health-care. The ability to look back on their own experience reinforces this support function and allows them to overcome the tensions arising from the cleavage between health-care and management.

Full textThe approaches of requalification of degraded sites increasingly answer the double challenge of depollution and valorization. The soils of these sites, known as "highly anthropized soils", are often characterized by a disturbed functioning due to anthropogenetic impacts. In particular, anthropic actives are responsible for the presence in these soils of exogenous materials, from both technogenic or natural origins, in varying quantities and natures. In this context, all the diagnoses and considerations regarding their management are carried out on the fine fraction, obtained after sieving at 2 mm, and ignore the so-called "coarse" fraction, which is often overrepresented (up to 50-60% by mass). This fraction, considered as inert, may not necessarily be so and its presence may have important consequences on the functioning of ecosystems and their future management.A dedicated methodological approach was developed. First, the dimensions and nature of the objects to be studied were precisely defined using an appropriate granulometric scale and the construction of a typology. This approach coupled to physico-chemical characterizations confirmed the efficiency of the tested screening strategy and fully enabled a precise and meaningful discrimination among coarse materials. The typology was thus implemented with composition characteristics of the material categories. On this basis, five reference materials (anthracite, brick, limestone, petroleum coke and blast furnace slag) were selected in order to allow for the generalization of the results. An adaptation process of standard soil analysis methods was then developed in order to assess the reactivity of coarse granulometric fractions. Results showed that coarse fractions are not inert. Their reactivity, although reduced compared to the fine fraction from a mass point of view, is only dependent on the type of material and the surface of the particles. Taken alone, the selected model materials present an insufficient level of fertility for plant development and are only marginally at the origin of toxicity. In an overall soil system, the coarse fraction constitutes a perennial stock of elements of interest that can be mobilized over time through the weathering processes generated by pedogenesis. The direct contribution of coarse fractions to plant nutrition was confirmed both under controlled conditions in the laboratory and in lysimeters at the pilot field scale. They also significantly contribute to water retention and storage. The type of material is the main factor governing the intensity of these effects.This thesis work has thus positioned the coarse granulometric fractions as being an active part of the functioning of highly anthropized soils. The results obtained provide new knowledge for stakeholders involved in soil engineering and highly anthropized soils management. To this end, a systematic procedure of diagnosis of coarse granulometric fractions has been proposed, the effects of which should serve two purposes, i) to enrich the knowledge related to the constituents of coarse fractions and ii) to allow an insightful decision-making process, based on a complete knowledge of the reality of a highly anthropized soil, authorizing an optimal and sensible management according to the targeted type of renaturation

Resumo: Apesar do milho "safrinha" já representar uma grande proporção do milho produzido no Brasil e ter tido um significativo aumento de produtividade nos últimos anos, esta cultura ainda é relacionada ao baixo uso de tecnologia e à baixa produtividade. A primeira etapa deste estudo analisa as estatísticas e as relações entre os seguintes itens de verificação da qualidade das lavouras: data de semeadura; cobertura morta do solo; espaçamento das entrelinhas; estande e população de plantas; plantas problema; espaços entreplantas; infestação de ervas daninhas e perdas de colheita. A segunda etapa analisou a correlação espacial destas variáveis entre os diferentes talhões amostrados e mapeou a sua distribuição através das ferramentas da geoestatística na região do Médio Paranapanema. Na terceira etapa as variáveis foram utilizadas como critérios em uma avaliação multicriterial gerando um mapa de qualidade das lavouras. O método de polígonos de Thiessen foi utilizado no desagrupamento das estatísticas básicas (média, variância, assimetria), minimizando os problemas originados pela não aleatoriedade espacial da amostragem. O sistema de Plantio Direto (PD) foi discriminado estatisticamente do sistema de Preparo Convencional (PC) através de diversas variáveis, mas apenas a cobertura morta discriminou o PD da Semeadura na Palha de Inverno (SPi) e do PC. Oitenta e cinco por cento dos talhões avaliados tinham estande dentro dos limites aceitáveis e boa distribuição de plantas. Sessenta por cento dos itens de verificação apresentaram continuidade espacial entre talhões, o que permitiu o mapeamento através de krigagem ordinária. As áreas não ocupadas com milho foram retiradas da análise espacial utilizando-se uma máscara do uso da terra produzida pela classificação de imagens de satélite. A análise multicriterial (MCE) combinou o processo de análise hierárquica (AHP), para dar pesos aos critérios, e conjuntos fuzzy, para normalizar os critérios, possibilitando a avaliação e o mapeamento da qualidade das lavouras de milho "safrinha" em uma área de 1.577 km2. Palavras chaves: sistemas de preparo de solo; auditoria de qualidade; polígonos de Thiessen; sistemas de suporte a decisão; processo de análise hierárquica (AHP)
Abstract: Even though off-season or winter maize ("safrinha") today accounts for a large fraction of Brazilian maize production, and has displayed a significant increase in yield during the past few years, this crop is still associated with low technology and low yield. The first part of this study analyzes the statistics and relations among several variables of agricultural quality (items of quality verification): planting date; crop mulch cover; row spacing; plant stand and population; problem plants; plant spacing; weed infestation; harvest losses. The second part analyzes the spatial correlation of these variables among different plots sampled and maps the distribution by using spatial statistical tools in the Middle Paranapanema River Valley. In the third part, the variables were used as criteria in a multicriteria evaluation (MCE) that created an agricultural quality maps. Thiessen polygons were used to declustering the basic statistics (mean, variance, coefficient of skewness), minimizing problems introduced by non-random spatial sampling. No-tillage cultivation was statistically discriminated from conventional tillage by several variables, but only crop mulch cover separated no-tillage from winter crop mulch cultivation and conventional tillage. Eighty-five percent of plots studied had stands within acceptable limits and displayed good distribution of plants. Sixty percent of the variables showed spatial continuity among the plots, which permitted mapping by use ordinary kriging. Areas not planted in maize were removed from the spatial analysis using a mask of land use produced by a classification of satellite imagery. Multicriteria evaluation (MCE) combined the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to weight the criteria, and fuzzy sets were used to normalize the criteria, permitting the evaluation and mapping of agricultural quality of off-season ¿safrinha¿ maize in an area of 1,577 km2. Index terms: tillage systems; quality audit; Thiessen polygons; decision making; analytic hierarchy process (AHP)

Full textHealth-care organizations are facing new challenges such as the aging population, the rise of health care costs and the rapid progress of medical technologies. New policies of health care budget control have been introduced to increase efficiency, reduce waste and reshape the entire health care system. Targeted organizations are complex networks of human,financial, structural and technological resources aiming at guarantying best public health care.These issues concern all the more Emergency Departments (ED) congested by the massive influx of passages and which must provide quick decisions and ensure the sizing of its resources to reduce waiting times for patients with out compromising quality of care.The objective of this thesis is to propose appropriate solutions to ED to improve carefor patients in terms of waiting time. We began by analyzing the problems of the emergency department in order to initiate a process of improvement. Subsequently, we modeled the process of care for patients at ED by using an open and dynamic multi-agent system. The proposed system can provide decision support on business planning and allocation of medical resources in a unit where one is often faced with an emergency situation requiring rapid and effective response. In this context, we study the reactive problem for optimizing scheduling of operations care and the coordination problem of medical staff. We take into account the skills mastered by human resources at ED in order to find a match with those required by the medical activity. This approach aims to increase quality, reduce time of expectation and provide pointers gains management

Full textIn the context of today’s world, medical care is becoming increasingly necessary to assist patients at the end of life. It appears that this care is taking on more and more importance and is subject to fewer and fewer questions. is less and less questioned. However, confining the end of life to the state of dying and its medical support is problematic. Can the end of life be resumed as stopping hydration and artificial feeding, sedation in its different forms, euthanasia, assisted suicide, and palliative care? Can it be summed up as a simple medical question? Isn’t the end of life, first and foremost, linked to an existential question in which, at the time of our decline, we come face to face with agony? Finiteness and suffering are at the heart of our questioning as we confront life’s hardships, revealing the mystery of the flesh. With the help of Michel Henry’s philosophy, agony will gradually reveal itself as an ultimate opportunity for self-revelation. Faced with the paradox of evil, we find Man capable of coping with an effort of re-personification. This necessary effort will unfold in the metaphysical, ethical and political fields. This same effort allows Man to take responsibility for himself and to contemplate existential questions. The subjectivity of each person must become the center of the healthcare institution. Agony becomes the possibility to rethink the place of the individual person within the hospital system: the care giver, the care receiver and those supporting them, all while developing an ethical personal assistance which must then translated into policies. Because even if metaphysically, living out agony cannot be otherwise justified but by Love, ethically we must build a new way of operating. We must leave room for fraternity as a consequence of being of the flesh, to imagination in order to respond to our fellow man and our life’s calling, and to subsidiarity so that everyone is respected in his actions and consciousness. Politically, it opens up the possibility of a hospital system respectful of each "I Can" which is echoed within its walls. Respect for the patient's consent remains the cornerstone of the hospital system but can only be built with an alliance with caregivers

Like other care practices, skin-to-skin care can still be improved and adjusted to the high-technology environment of industrialized countries, in order to create an optimal sensorimotor and relational niche. Objective: the objective of the research-action of this doctoral thesis was precisely to test the benefit of a change of positioning during skin-to-skin care in NICU. Our hypothesis was that the innovative positioning in Supported Diagonal Flexion ('SDF') would allow improvements in the opportunity for individualized parent-new-born interactions, but also provide support to the construction of parenthood, plagued by premature birth, and improve postural and motor prevention in the premature new-born. Methods: we conducted a prospective monocentric interventional control-case study. Forty-two very premature infants, born between 27 and 32 weeks of gestation, and their mothers were included from may 2015 to july 2016. They were allocated to two groups: group 1 with skin-to-skin installation as it is commonly carried out in situ, which is 'Vertical' with a nursing pillow ('Vertical' group) and group 2 with Sustained Diagonal Flexion ('FDS' group), observed consecutively and matched with group 1 according to the term and weight of the children included. The study looked at the very premature infant, his/her mother et their multimodal communication (vocal, visual, tactile and smile) at five stages: at birth, during the first skin-to-skin, 15 days later, at term corrected age and at three months corrected age, thus on a six to seven months' time-span for each dyad. Results: from the very first skin-to-skin, mothers installed in 'FDS' displayed more affective, active and varied spontaneous tactile mothering, and immediately offer a more dense and musical sound cocoon. Mother in the 'FDS' group had a significantly lower risk of post-partum depression after 15 days of skin-to-skin practice and at term corrected age, they naturally lengthened the duration of skin-to-skin sessions and developed more variability when carrying their infant in their arms. When installed in 'FDS' during hospitalization, the two partners dispayed more multimodal behaviours and the infant's behaviours were contingent (1 s) to the mother's in greater proportion. At term corrected age, these differences partly reversed, but we observed a better investment of the calm awake state, with the child's visual engagement more focused on his/her mother's face. At term corrected age, premature infants in the 'FDS' group showed less postural deformations and a better organization in spontaneous motricity. Conclusion: this doctoral thesis demonstrates that skin-to-skin practice can be improved through the 'SDF' positionning, by physically supporting the new-born, psychologically supporting his/her mother, and finally allowing richer multi-modal mother-child communication by offering the early opportunity to be more sensitive to one another as a basis for the relationship

Full textIn France, elderly care is primarily intended for people aged 65 and over. It consists of hospital care (intra-hospital), and elder home care (extra-hospital) for patient in the territory closest to his / her own home. It organizes through the interweaving of several devices involving various actors (Ishii, 2013). The concept of Elder Home Care summarizes all practices implemented to support elderly people to continue living independently, despite their disabilities and aging. It constitutes an efficient alternative to reduce the pressure in hospital admissions (Crowley et al., 2016), and give the opportunity to improve elderly care continuity after their discharges from hospitals (Xiao et al. 2018). However, elder hospital care refers to the medical care, diagnostic testing, intensive treatment, or surgeries provided to the patient throughout the hospitalization process. The multiplicity of stakeholders, combined with the dynamic, unstructured information spread over a large amount of information systems, result in a new situation in which decision support systems become essential when making daily operational and collective decisions. Firstly, this paper introduces a decision support Framework that enables home care organizations to deploy their available resources more effectively with a multi-agent system paradigm. The addressed operational collective decision problem concerns the assignment and coordination of home caregivers from different organizations. Secondly, a decision support methodology for intra-hospital care based on quantitative techniques, and statistical method, is proposed. This methodology, allows the evaluation of elderly care pathways behavior

Full textThe average age of the French and European population is increasing; this observation brings new technical and societal challenges. Older people are the most fragile and vulnerable, especially in terms of domestic accidents and specifically falls. This is why many elderly people care projects : technical, academic and commercial have seen the light of day in recent years. This thesis work wasc arried out under Cifre agreement, jointly between the company KRG Corporate and the BMBI laboratory (Biomechanics and Bioengineering) of the UTC (Université of Technologie of Compiègne). Its purpose is to offer a sensor for sound recognition and everyday activities, with the aim of expanding and improving the tele-assistance system already marketed by the company. Several speech recognition or speaker recognition methods have already been proven in the field of sound recognition, including GMM (Modèle de mélange gaussien – Gaussian Mixture Model), SVM-GSL (Machine à vecteurs de support, GMM-super-vecteur à noyau linéaire – Support vector machine GMM Supervector Linear kernel) and HMM (Modèle de Markov caché – Hidden Markov Model). In the same way, we proposed to use i-vectors for sound recognition. I-Vectors are used in particular in speaker recognition, and have revolutionized this field recently. Then we broadened our spectrum, and used Deep Learning, which currently gives very good results in classification across all domains. We first used them to reinforce the i-vectors, then we used them as our exclusive classification system. The methods mentioned above were also tested under noisy and then real conditions. These different experiments gaves us very satisfactory recognition rates, with neural networks as reinforcement for i-vectors and neural networks alone being the most accurate systems, with a very significant improvement compared to the various speech and speaker recognition systems

Full textBackground: Infants have to actively maintain their end expiratory lung volume (EELV) due to their high rib cage compliance. Mechanisms such as high respiratory rate, short expiratory time and laryngeal braking are implicated. In mechanically ventilated infants, the diaphragm stays activated until the end of expiration (tonic activity), contributing to EELV maintenance. It is unclear whether tonic activity compensates for the lack of laryngeal braking due to intubation or if it is normally present. Objective: To determine if tonic diaphragm activity remains after extubation in infants, and if it can be observed in older children. Methods: Prospective observational study of pediatric patients 1 week to 18 years-old ventilated for >24 hr with parental consent. Diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi) was recorded using a specific nasogastric catheter during four periods: (i) the acute phase, (ii) pre-extubation, (iii) postextubation, and (iv) at PICU discharge. EADi was analyzed in a semi-automatic manner. Tonic EAdi was defined as the EAdi in the last quartile of expiration. Results: Fifty-five patients, median age 10 months (Interquartile range: 1–48) were studied. In infants (<1 year, n=28), tonic EAdi as a percentage of inspiratory activity was 48% (30-56) in acute phase, 38% (25-44) pre-extubation, 28% (17-42) post-extubation et 33% (22-43) at PICU discharge (p<0.05, ANOVA, with statistically significant difference between recordings 1 and 3-4). No significant change was observed between pre- and post-extubation periods. In older patients (n=27), tonic activity was negligible as a whole (0.6mcv). However, significant tonic EAdi (>1mcv and >10%) was observed in 10 patients (37%). Bronchiolitis was the only independent factor associated with tonic EAdi. Conclusions: In infants, tonic EAdi remains involved in ventilatory control after extubation and restoration of laryngeal braking. Tonic EAdi can be reactivated in older patients. The interest of tonic EAdi as a tool to titrate mechanical ventilation warrants further evaluation.

Full textThe announcement of a diagnosis of cancer should be considered by health professionals, a composed process of several steps that must pass through the person, rather than as an event in itself (Tobin & Begley, 2008). During the period surrounding the announcement of the diagnosis, the person may be faced with difficulties related to navigation in a complex health system, in addition to the negative feelings engendered by the fear of disease. To support people with cancer, the PQLC (French acronym of the Quebec Cancer Control Program) has established the oncology nurse navigator (ONN) role in 2000. At the present time, few studies, to our knowlecdge, are both in support of the ONN in this period. This study was designed, to explore the perceptions of people with cancer as regards the support offered by the ONN, in the period surrounding the announcement of the diagnosis. The student-researcher is inspired by the framework of Fitch supportive care (1994) to undertake this descriptive qualitative study. Individual interviews with seven people with different types of cancer were performed. Data analysis was performed using the method of Miles and Huberman (2003), by the full transcripts of the interviews. It has identified three themes is: formal support required to deal with the chaos, the informational and emotional to perfect and available support bringing security and insurance. The results highlighted the perceptions of people with cancer as regards the support offered by ONN or the need for accessible health care and services of the ONN earlier in the period surrounding the announcement of the diagnosis. People with cancer need to be helped to cope with the difficulties encountered during this period, including uncertainty about the results of diagnostic tests, to the bemusement of the information received and the negative feelings engendered by the threat of the disease. The results suggest the wish of the participants, to the effect that, the offer of support from the ONN, focuses on their needs mainly in both informational and emotional. They would have liked to be able to share their experience with the IPO, better understand the diagnosis of cancer and know more what to expect at the beginning of treatment. On the other hand, know that the support of the ONN is available brings to people with cancer insurance and a confidence in their ability to cope with treatment and brings them a sense of security.
