[When workplace becomes the place where a relative with cancer is cared: How do caregiver, patient and healthcare professionals interact?].

Introduction: Three clinical situations explored the interactions between patients treated for cancer in oncology, their family caregivers working as doctors or nurses in the same establishment or service, and the healthcare team providing the patient's care, as well as the repercussions of such a context on these three players.

Methods: In each situation, the patient, the family caregiver and a member of the team were interviewed using a semi-directive interview guide. The 8 interviews were recorded and transcribed in full, then subjected to thematic content analysis.

Supporting Family Members in Palliative Phases of Cancer: A Qualitative Study Comparing Health Care Professionals and Non-Health Care Professionals.

This comparative and exploratory multicenter study explored the experiences of 2 groups of family members caring for relatives in palliative phases of cancer: caregivers practicing health care professionals (doctors/nurses) and caregivers who were not health care professionals. The ill family members of the 2 groups were also interviewed. Twenty-seven volunteer caregiving relatives (including 16 health professionals) and 18 cancer patients participated in psychologist-conducted semistructured interviews exploring psychological experiences of the support (including daily, personal, and medical care) and, for caregivers, of the interactions with medical teams.

Support practices by an interdisciplinary team in a palliative-care unit for relatives of patients in agonal phase.

Background: In the absence of extant recommendations, the aim of this study was to formalise support practices used by an interdisciplinary team in a palliative-care unit (PCU) for the relatives of patients in the agonal phase preceding death. The secondary objective was to understand the expectations of relatives during this phase in terms of the support provided by professionals and volunteers.

Methods: Thirty-two people took part in this study; all were interviewed through focus groups (FGs).

French adaptation of the PO-Bado short form, an interview-based expert rating scale for distress screening.

Objective: Basic Documentation for Psycho-Oncology (PO-Bado) is a hetero-assessment and psychosocial burden documentation tool for cancer patient caregivers (across all types and stages). Recently, the psychometric properties of the standard 12-item version of PO-Bado were published. However, the standard version is relatively time-consuming for the caregivers.

[An interview guide for screening for psychological pain in oncology].

An interview guide has been introduced with patients treated in oncology in order to assess their psychological pain. It helps to structure the nurse interview. It also combines the identification of the patient's psychological needs with the creation of an opportunity to talk, thereby initiating a help relationship.
