Published: January 2012

Background: Several studies conducted in psychiatric populations, have reported the promoting and pejorative role of psychiatric community in thrombogenesis.

Aims: To clarify the specificity of psychiatric community in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and to propose a set of general recommendations for appropriate care.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE (PubMed) between 1956 and 2010. We reviewed article titles and abstracts and full text of selected studies of psychiatric patients with venous thromboembolism disease. We identified 50 studies that investigated the association between psychiatric disease and venous thromboembolism events.

Results: In psychiatric community venous thromboembolism disease has several characteristics: epidemiological, clinical and evolutionary and is conditioned by a combination of several thromboembolism risk factors: - Linked in part to the psychiatric illness itself, - But above all specific therapeutic methods in psychiatric community (anti-psychotic, restraint...) which are easily preventable.

Conclusion: Besides the medical side, the psychiatric community itself is characterized by a large number of variables, giving a particularly encouraging and derogatory about the advent and development of VTE.

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for deviating from their daily treatment regimen due to significant time burden, complicated daily therapies, and life stressors. Developing patient-centric, effective, engaging, and practical behavioral interventions is vital to help sustain therapeutically meaningful self-management.

Objective: This study aimed to devise and refine a patient-centered telecoaching intervention to foster self-management in AYA with CF using a combination of intervention development approaches, including an evidence- and theory-based approach (ie, applying existing theories and research evidence for behavior change) and a target population-centered approach (ie, intervention refinement based on the perspectives and actions of those individuals who will use it).
