Validation of French versions of the 15-item picker patient experience questionnaire for adults, teenagers, and children inpatients.

Objectives: No French validated concise scales are available for measuring the experience of inpatients in pediatrics. This study aims to adapt the adult PPE-15 to a pediatric population, and translating it in French, as well as to establish reference values for adults, teenagers, and parents of young children.

Methods: Cultural adaptation involved forward and backward translations, along with pretests in all three populations.

A tutorial on ordinary differential equations in behavioral science: What does physics teach us?

The present tutorial proposes to use concepts of physics and mathematics to help behavioral scientists to use differential equations in their studies. It focuses on the first-order and the second-order (damped oscillator) differential equation. Simple examples allow to detail the meaning of the coefficients, the conditions of applicability of these differential equations, the underlying hypothesis, and their consequences for the researcher willing to use them.

Associations of emotional burden and coping strategies with sick leave among healthcare professionals: A longitudinal observational study.

Objectives: To investigate 1) whether care-related regrets (regret intensity, number of recent regrets) are associated with sick leave, independently of personality traits, perceived safety climate, and physical activity; and 2) whether these associations were mediated or moderated by coping strategies.

Methods: Using a longitudinal international observational study (ICARUS), data were collected by the means of a weekly web survey. Descriptive and generalized estimation equations were performed.
