Coping Strategies and Factors Related to Problematic Substance Use and Behavioral Addictions Among Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer.

This study aimed to explore and identify the factors associated with problematic substance use (alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis) and behavioral addictions (internet and eating disorders) over time in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) treated for cancer. AYAs newly diagnosed with cancer, 15-25 years of age, completed a questionnaire during their hospitalization (T1), assessing their consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis (The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test; The Smoking Behavior Questionnaire; and The Cannabis Abuse Screening Test), their internet use (The Internet Addiction Test), their body preoccupations (The Eating Attitudes Test), as well as their coping strategies (Brief COPE) and emotional adjustment (The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Questionnaires were completed again 6 months later (T2).

Qualitative, Exploratory, and Multidimensional Study of Telepresence Robots for Overcoming Social Isolation of Children and Adolescents Hospitalized in Onco-Hematology.

Treatment of pediatric cancers and hematological malignancies requires long periods of isolation in a sterile room. To promote family connections, telepresence robots have been made available in the homes of hospitalized patients. Our aim was to evaluate the perceived benefits and difficulties encountered by users and their families in terms of family dynamics.

[Psychosocial and developmental outcomes of TYAs with cancer: Are there any specific characteristics for the young adults?].

During the last few years, specific support devices and even dedicated units for teenagers and young adults (TYAs - patients grouped in the 15-25 years age group) appeared in oncology. If the existing literature review allows identifying many written work related to the experience of cancer during adolescence, resources about "young adults" are not only far less abundant, but rarely give the definition of what is a "young adult". Based on this observation, it appears necessary, at this stage of our practice, to question the definition and psychosocial outcomes of those psychiatrists and psychologists also call "young adults".

Nurses' perceptions of depression in patients with cancer.

Objective: Our study aimed at examining nurses' perceptions of depression in cancer patients and their role in its management.

Method: We employed questionnaire-based semi-directed interviews. Participants were asked to classify 22 symptoms (related and specific to depression in cancer patients, related but not specific, and unrelated) as "very important," "important," "less important," or "not important" for the diagnosis of depression in cancer patients at two different timepoints (baseline and after a video education program).

Antithrombin level and circuit thrombosis during hemofiltration after cardiopulmonary bypass.

Objective: Hemofilter thrombosis occurs frequently during continuous veno-venous hemofiltration in intensive care units. Among coagulation disorders, antithrombin deficiency has been shown to be linked to hemofilter thrombosis. We investigated whether there was an association between antithrombin level activity and hemofilter thrombosis occurrence during early continuous hemofiltration following cardiopulmonary bypass.
