Introduction : En Europe (Belgique), les étudiants infirmiers prestent 2 300 heures de stage auprès du patient. Il a été démontré qu’une rétroaction par un professionnel ou un formateur améliore les apprentissages. Or, les étudiants sont peu accompagnés. La COVID-19 a engendré une diminution voire l’arrêt des supervisions par des formateurs. Afin de faire face à cette situation, un programme de ...

The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is forcing healthcare systems around the word to organise care differently than before. Prompt detection and effective triage and isolation of potentially infected and infectious patients are essential to preventing unnecessary community exposure. Since there are as yet no medications to treat or vaccines to prevent COVID-19, prevention focuses ...

Several recent works have highlighted hospital discharge as a good opportunity to deliver patient education (PE). Despite its constraints (overcrowding and unpredictable workload, in particular), the emergency department (ED) should be viewed as an opportune place for improving patient satisfaction and adherence to recommendations, and thus for preventing complications and early readmission, suggesting ...

Teamwork training and evaluation are essential to enhance safety and quality of care. The lack of the psychometric testing of the TeamSTEPPS® Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ) and Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire (T-TPQ) across different language and cultural settings has questioned their widespread use because such attitudes and perceptions are highly subjective and context-bound. The ...

La publication, en 1999, du rapport de l’institut américain de médecine (Institute Of Medicine, IOM) intitulé To Err Is Human a donné naissance au mouvement de sécurité du patient (Safety Patient Movment) (Chaboyer et al., 2013). L’observation d’évènements indésirables dans 2.9 à 3.7 % des hospitalisations, conduisant au décès dans 6.6 à 13.6 % des cas, soit une mortalité supérieure aux accidents ...

Triage systems for out-of-hours primary care physician (PCP) calls have been implemented empirically but no triage algorithm has been validated to date. A triage algorithm named SALOMON (Systeme Algorithmique Liegeois d’Orientation pour la Medecine Omnipraticienne Nocturne) was developed to guide triage nurses. This study assessed the performance of the algorithm using simulated PCP calls. Methods: ...

Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the cornerstones for the treatment of cancer. In most countries RT machines are handled by professionals benefitting from an ad hoc training in theoretical knowledge as well as technical and non-technical skills. In Belgium, RT departments are hiring in nurses for this activity. In countries where there is a specified core curriculum for basic training of radiation ...
