This study aimed to assess the feasibility of a complex family nursing intervention (SAFIR©) designed to support families of patients with acquired brain injuries during the early phase of hospitalization, using a one-group pre- and post-test design with a one-month follow-up. Family members participated in four family meetings. Quantitative data were collected using an intervention protocol checklist and questionnaires.

- Postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is a common condition affecting quality of life in patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, with a 32% incidence rate found in a study of 222 patients.
- Younger age at surgery and experiencing early dumping syndrome are significant predictors of PBH, while higher glucose levels at 2 hours during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) indicate a lower risk.
- The study found no correlation between PBH and weight changes after surgery, highlighting the complexity of its impact on patients' health outcomes.
Background: Oral anticancer therapies such as protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) are increasingly prescribed in cancer care. We aimed to evaluate the impact of a pharmacist-led interprofessional medication adherence program (IMAP) on patient implementation (dosing history), persistence (time until premature cessation of the treatment) and adherence to 27 PKIs prescribed for various solid cancers, as well as the impact on patients' beliefs about medicines (BAM) and quality of life (QoL).
Methods: Patients (n = 118) were randomized 1:1 into two arms.
Background: Patient adherence to medications can be assessed using interactive digital health technologies such as electronic monitors (EMs). Changes in treatment regimens and deviations from EM use over time must be characterized to establish the actual level of medication adherence.
Objective: We developed the computer script CleanADHdata.
Background: Women with a previous caesarean delivery face a difficult choice in their next pregnancy: planning another caesarean or attempting vaginal delivery, both of which are associated with potential maternal and perinatal complications. This trial aimed to assess whether a multifaceted intervention, which promoted person-centred decision making and best practices, would reduce the risk of major perinatal morbidity among women with one previous caesarean delivery.
Methods: We conducted an open, multicentre, cluster-randomised, controlled trial of a multifaceted 2-year intervention in 40 hospitals in Quebec among women with one previous caesarean delivery, in which hospitals were the units of randomisation and women the units of analysis.
