[Current issues and options for improving influenza vaccination rates in rural areas].

Introduction: Despite the positive impact of vaccination on health, influenza vaccination rates worldwide remain low for certain population groups. In Quebec, vaccination rates among populations with chronic diseases remain below what is expected by public health. Since this situation is also noticeable in rural areas, it is necessary to reflect on the current issues associated with low vaccination rates in the rural population.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure-the arts as a vehicle for knowledge translation and exchange (KTE) in public health during a pandemic: a realist-informed developmental evaluation research protocol.

Introduction: The COVID-19 crisis has led to the adoption of strict and coercive preventive measures. The implementation of these measures has generated negative impacts for many communities. The situation is especially worrisome for Indigenous communities in Peru.

Oral Health Status of Schoolchildren Living in Remote Rural Andean Communities: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: Oral health promotion (OHP) was introduced in Peruvian primary schools in 2013, and no evaluation has been undertaken in rural areas since then. To measure OHP outcomes, this cross-sectional study aimed to assess the oral health (OH) status of schoolchildren living in a remote rural area of the Cusco region.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-six children were recruited in three remote rural communities and in a rural district capital.

Intersectoral oral health promotion interventions for schoolchildren living in remote rural Andean communities: a realist evaluation.

Background: Intersectoral oral health promotion entails the participation of local communities. IOHP interventions were introduced in Peru in primary schools in 2013 but oral health among schoolchildren living in rural Andean communities remains suboptimal.

Objectives: To understand the contextual elements and the underlying mechanisms associated with intersectoral oral health promotion interventions' current effects on schoolchildren living in remote rural Andean communities.

Translation and Validation of the Toronto Pain Management Index, French-Canadian Version.

Background To provide effective pain management, nurses must have sufficient knowledge and adequate beliefs about pain management. In Quebec, however, nurses seem to be generally uninvolved in pain management, and there is little significant evidence shedding light on nurses' pain management knowledge and beliefs in postoperative settings. To perform such studies, a valid questionnaire in French to assess nurses' knowledge and beliefs is required.

Realist evaluation of intersectoral oral health promotion interventions for schoolchildren living in rural Andean communities: a research protocol.

Background: Intersectoral collaboration, known to promote more sustainable change within communities, will be examined in an oral health promotion program (OHPP). In Peru, an OHPP was implemented by the Ministry of Health, to reduce the incidence of caries in schoolchildren. In rural Andean communities, however, these initiatives achieved limited success.

Knowledge and Beliefs about Chronic Non Cancer Pain Management for Family Medicine Group Nurses.

To provide effective care for chronic pain sufferers, nurses must have a knowledge of chronic pain management. In Quebec, nurses working in Family Medicine Groups (FMGs) could play a major role in helping patients with chronic noncancer pain (CNCP); however, the extent of their knowledge about CNCP management is unknown. The primary goal of this study was to explore the knowledge and beliefs of FMG nurses about CNCP management.

[Nursing activities in family medicine groups for patients with chronic pain].

Introduction: Thousands of people treated in primary care are currently experiencing chronic pain (CP), for which management is often inadequate. In Quebec, nurses in family medicine groups (FMGs) play a key role in the management of chronic health problems.

Objective: The present study aimed to describe the activities performed by FMG nurses in relation to CP management and to describe barriers to those activities.

[Descriptive study of the postoperative pain assessment and documentation process in a university hospital].

Several studies have shown that patients often receive inadequate treatment of postoperative pain. The aim of the present descriptive study was to examine and analyze various data related to the postoperative pain assessment of 40 patients who underwent elective surgery. Pain journals were to be completed by patients during every waking hour for the first three postoperative days to assess both pain intensity and pain unpleasantness.
