Feasibility of Sexual Health and Contraceptive Web Services for Adolescents and Young Adults: Retrospective Study of a Pilot Program on Reunion Island.

Background: Sexual health indicators for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged between 13 and 25 years are particularly poor on Reunion Island. Access to accurate information as well as sexual health and contraceptive services are vital to maintaining sexual well-being. Teleconsultations offer a promising approach to addressing the sexual health and contraceptive needs of AYAs who are more susceptible to engaging in unprotected sexual intercourse.

Evaluation of a training program using the SBAR communication tool for caregivers managing acute respiratory distress in lung cancer patients: A pilot randomized controlled trial protocol.

Background: Family-based caregivers are increasingly important in the management of non-hospitalized lung cancer patients. However, lack of training can negatively impact care including diagnostic errors that can lead to delays in providing appropriate medical treatment. Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is common symptom of lung cancer and requires urgent intervention as well as adequate communication with healthcare professionals (HCPs) to enable appropriate decision-making and improve patient outcomes.

Sexual health services for adolescents on Reunion Island: results from a descriptive interview-based study.

Objectives: To describe the experiences of sexual health services available for adolescents aged 15-19 years on Reunion Island.

Design: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted from 3 December 2022 to 24 October 2023. Data were analysed using the phenomenological interpretative method.

Experiences of adolescents using sexual health services on Reunion Island: protocol for a qualitative phenomenological study.

Introduction: Adolescence and early adulthood are often critical periods of sexual development. The discovery of sexual intercourse can lead to sexual risk-taking which may impact the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. Despite available sexual health services on Reunion Island, sexual health indicators for adolescents are very poor showing a high number of teenage pregnancies and abortions, low use of contraception and an upsurge of STIs.

Feasibility and acceptance of self-hypnosis to reduce chronic stress levels on family in-home caregivers of elderly people: protocol for the POSSAID pilot, randomised, wait-list controlled trial.

Introduction: Family members who care for elderly people experience high levels of chronic stress because of the intensive assistance they provide permanently to those who are losing their autonomy. Often considered a burden, this stress causes serious consequences to their health and worsens their quality of life (QoL). Reducing caregivers' chronic stress via self-hypnosis protocols may be an effective treatment.

Comparing the effects of self-selected music versus predetermined music on patient anxiety prior to gynaecological surgery: a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Patients undergoing gynaecological surgery are known to experience anxiety. While the use of music selected by patients based on their personal taste has hardly been evaluated, a recent study suggests that musical preferences significantly alter the anxiolytic and relaxing effects of music. Our study aims to determine whether self-selected music decreases patient anxiety prior to gynaecological surgery, as compared with predetermined music from a software programme such as MUSIC CARE®.
