Validation of a didactic model evaluating the usability, usefulness and acceptability of psychological first aid teaching through simulation.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of simulation as a means to teach Psychological First Aid in Operations (PFA-O). We propose to use a model built on research in didactics to assess the factors which may or may not encourage trainers to adopt and embrace this teaching technique.

Material And Method: We submitted a questionnaire to all PFA-O trainers working in France, comprising 15 criteria divided into three dimensions: usability, usefulness and acceptability.

Pharmacogenetics testing for poor response to antidepressants: a transnosographic case series.

Introduction: Pharmacogenetics (PGx) holds promise for optimizing psychotropic medication use, with and identified as key genes in antidepressant treatment. However, few studies have explored the genetic variants of these genes in real-world settings for patients experiencing ineffectiveness or adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to antidepressants.

Methods: This case series includes 40 patients who underwent PGx testing due to antidepressant ineffectiveness or ADRs between June 2020 and April 2022.
