Evaluation of PSC with the participation of primary health care professionals can be carried out through self-administered surveys such as the AHRQ's Medical Office Survey on Patient Safety Culture (MOSPSC) questionnaire.
Aim: To translate the MOSPSC questionnaire into French, while analyzing its psychometric properties.
We aimed to investigate whether the participation in an observational study on breastfeeding (Doal) modified breastfeeding outcomes in enrolling neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). This bi-centric before-and-after study included neonates who were admitted during a 4-month period before and a 4-month period after the implementation of Doal. Breastfeeding intention and breastfeeding rates at discharge were compared between the two periods.

Design: Descriptive qualitative study based on 38 semidirective interviews.
Participants: Doctors, nurses, nursing assistants and administrative staff.
Purpose: to assess the effect of wearing a compressive short-sleeve jacket on shoulder stability and rotator muscles in adult patients with a hypermobile subtype of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
Materials And Methods: a quasi-experimental study with "Pre/Post" design (4 weeks with versus 4 weeks without), open, conducted on a national cohort. Shoulder rotators were assessed with an isokinetic device at 180°/s and 90°/s; frequency of shoulder stability defects, pain (Visual Analogical Scale), and satisfaction (Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology) were reported.
Study Objective: To describe human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination practice among adolescent girls with cystic fibrosis (CF) and to identify reasons for non-vaccination.
Design: Cross-sectional multicentric study.
Setting And Participants: Girls aged 9-17 years, attending 7 French pediatric CF centers, and their accompanying adult.
Objectives: Older hospitalized patients are at high risk of early readmissions, requiring the implementation of enhanced coordinated transition programs on discharge. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of a nurse-led transition bridging program on the rate of unscheduled readmissions of older patients within 30 days from discharge from geriatric acute care units.
Design: A stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial.
Background: Narrow-band imaging (NBI) is as sensitive as Lugol chromoendoscopy to detect esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) but its specificity, which appears higher than that of Lugol chromoendoscopy in expert centers, remains to be established in general practice. This study aimed to prove the superiority of NBI specificity over Lugol chromoendoscopy in the detection of esophageal SCC and high grade dysplasia (HGD) in current general practice (including tertiary care centers, local hospitals, and private clinics).
Methods: This prospective randomized multicenter trial included consecutive patients with previous or current SCC of the upper aerodigestive tract who were scheduled for gastroscopy.
Objectives: Violence in emergency services has become a central issue in the daily work of hospital employees. While the use of video surveillance and the training of professionals in conflict management are the most common methods used, there are few cases using the setting up of a third part such as a mediator. We conducted a qualitative study with professionals to examine their representations associated with mediation.
