Le rôle des représentations de la maladie et de la douleur dans la relation patient-thérapeute

Résumé  La rencontre entre patient et thérapeute dans la relation de soins met en présence non seulement deux individus, mais aussi deux systèmes de pensée. Elle suppose donc l'articulation de deux types de savoirs, profane d'une part et scientifique d'autre part. La clarification et la prise en compte des représentations du patient à propos de l'atteinte dont il souffre constitue un enjeu important de la relation. Il en va de même des attentes du thérapeute par rapport à ce qu'il considère comme un comportement douloureux adéquat, par exemple. Faute de la prise en compte des modèles de référence explicites et implicites tant du patient que du thérapeute, la relation peut déboucher sur des malentendus, des réactions d'agressivité, d'anxiété, et conduire à une rupture de cette relation.

Summary  The patient-therapist relationship involves not only two individuals, but also two systems of thinking. It calls forth lay knowledge on the one hand and scientific knowledge on the other hand. The patient's representations about his pain and suffering may play an important role in the patient-health care provider relationship and thus need to be clarified and taken into account. This need also holds true where the therapist's expectations are concerned, for example with regard to what is considered as an adequate pain behavior. Failing to take into account the explicit and implicit models of both the patient and the therapist may lead to misunderstandings, aggressive behaviors, anxious reactions, and thus hamper or even disrupt the patient-therapist relationship.

     

Three antidepressants (amitriptyline,dothiepin, fluoxetine), with and without alcohol,compared with placebo on tests of psychomotor ability related to car driving

Eight female volunteers received acute doses of amitriptyline 50 mg (AMI), dothiepin 50 mg (DOT), fluoxetine 40 mg (FLU) or placebo both with and without a ‘social’ dose of alcohol (ALC) equivalent to 0·5 g/kg body weight absolute alcohol. Performance on a variety of tests of psychomotor ability and cognitive function (critical flicker fusion, choice reaction time, tracking, Maddox Wing and simulated car steering) were performed at 1·5 and 4 hours following treatment. AMI and DOT both with and without ALC impaired performance on a range of tests at either or both 1·5 and 4 hours, although the effects of AMI and AMI + ALC were more widespread and severe than those found with either DOT or DOT + ALC. FLU and FLU + ALC showed no evidence of impairment on any test at either the 1·5 or the 4 hours assessments. The results suggest that there are differences between the experimental substances, at the doses used, in their intrinsic potential for impairing aspects of psychomotor performance and cognitive function.     

Prediction of outcome from intensive care after gastroenterologic emergency

Prognostic factors determining the outcome from intensive care were studied in 952 patients admitted to 25 Finnish ICUs after gastroenterologic emergency. Logistic regression analysis was used to create predictive models based on the APACHE II–system. The models were constructed by using data from a random two–thirds of the study population and validated in the remaining independent one–third together with the original APACHE II–index. The Acute Physiology Score, age, and a pre–existing liver disease were the three most important determinants of outcome. The inclusion of the TISS score describing the intensity of treatment into a model did not enhance the accuracy of the prediction. Our models were better calibrated than the original APACHE II–equation when tested by the goodness–of–fit –statistics. These statistical models may help the clinicians to predict the outcome for an individual patient by providing them information about the relative impacts of predictive factors or about the probability of death. These probabilities should be interpreted cautiously, taking into acount the limitations of statistical methods. This is especially important when assessing the highrisk patients. Their number in our study was too low for accurate outcome prediction.     

Remodeling Adult Nursing

This article describes a nursing education experience in which a critical thinking approach was planned and implemented. Background discussion on critical thinking concepts and related research provides a foundation for presentation of the Mackie teaching model. The model uses a community-based, family-centered scenario as the basis for developing problemfocused nursing intervention skills from a holistic viewpoint. Role expectations of students and faculty are outlined, and related implementation difficulties, together with their resolution strategies, are described. Evaluation methods and outcomes are reviewed in the conclusion.     

Reflective inquiry in nursing practice or 'revealing images'

Reflective inquiry in nursing practice or 'revealing images' Nurses live and work in complex practice worlds; worlds of shrinking resources and expanding needs. Reflection through journaling offers unique opportunities to gain insight into practice. What might we learn from one's journal? A reflective journal can be a source of interplay between the self as written and the self as other. Likewise, the journal may act to situate ourselves in practice, while at the same time enabling us to illuminate how and in what ways our understandings have become distorted. The extent to which one's journal is educative depends upon the manner in which one chooses to use it as a transformative tool, a tool that might well be described as a process of healing and enlightenment. In order to illustrate the reflexive nature of journaling, this paper is presented as a play reading, where a conversation about practice stories between the different aspects of the nurse's self is depicted. In adopting a play reading, an alternative pedagogical tool is used to illustrate different methodologies exemplifying the emergence of how and in what ways we develop and reconstruct our understanding in nursing.

Changing helplessness to coping: an exploratory study of social skills training with individuals with long-term mental illness

The primary purpose of this study was to apply an occupational therapy programme for social skills training based on a cognitive-behavioural frame of reference to individuals with long-term mental illness. The goal of the social skills training group was to enable patients to develop verbal and non-verbal communication skills that could be generalised to everyday interpersonal encounters. A case example of the application of social skills training with a 38-year-old single male with a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia is described. The Group-Interaction Skills Survey developed by the author served as an outcome measure. Qualitative data confirmed the researcher's hypothesis that individuals with long-term mental illness can benefit from social skills training using a combination of role-playing, sociodrama, videotape recordings and creative media.

Determination of nickel in lung specimens of thirty-nine autopsied nickel workers

Summary Lung specimens from 39 nickel refinery workers autopsied during the period from 1978 to 1984 were analyzed for nickel. Fifteen of the workers were employed in the Roasting and Smelting Department, where exposure to nickel was predominantly in the form of nickel-copper oxides, Ni₃S₂ and metallic dust. The remaining 24 men worked in the Electrolysis Department. Exposure in this group was considered to be mostly to the water-soluble compounds, NiSO₄ and NiCl₂, but also to a lesser degree to water-insoluble nickel compounds such as nickel-copper oxides and sulphides. The arithmetic mean ± SD for nickel concentration in lung tissues expressed in gg^–1 dry wt for the 39 workers was 150 ± 280. In the workers employed in the Roasting and Smelting Department, the average nickel concentration was 330 ± 380; for those who worked in the Electrolysis Department it was 34 ± 48. Lung tissue from 16 autopsied persons not connected with the refinery had an average nickel concentration of 0.76 ± 0.39. Statistical analysis based on log-normal distributions of the measured nickel concentrations allowed three major conclusions to be formulated: (1) nickel refinery workers exhibit elevated nickel levels in lung tissues at autopsy; (2) workers of the Electrolysis Department and the Roasting Smelting Department constitute distinct groups with respect to the accumulation of nickel in lung tissue; (3) workers who were diagnosed to have lung cancer had the same lung nickel concentrations at autopsy as those who died of other causes.
