Myélome multiple et approche palliative des soins : étude théorique ancrée dans la pratique.

Objectif: Le myélome multiple est un cancer hématologique incurable. Pour alléger la souffrance, il est possible d'employer une approche palliative en conjonction avec un traitement curatif, mais cette approche est sous-utilisée chez les patients en hémato-oncologie. L'objectif de la présente étude est d'examiner l'expérience des personnes atteintes d'un myélome multiple qui reçoivent un traitement palliatif dans le cadre de leurs soins, et de comprendre comment ils perçoivent cette approche.

A Scoping Review on the Use of Experiential Learning in Professional Education on Intimate Partner Violence.

Purpose: Intimate partner violence (IPV) involves any form of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse including controlling behaviors by an intimate partner. Front line service workers such as social workers, nurses, lawyers, and physicians are often the first professionals to come into contact with individuals experiencing IPV but are often inadequately prepared to respond appropriately as IPV education is highly variable. Experiential learning (EL), also known as learning by doing, has gained much attention from educators; however, the extent and type of EL strategies used to teach IPV competencies has not yet been explored.
