[Intervening against the patient’s wishes: pro re nata medication and the phenomenological experience of nurses working in a forensic psychiatry environment].

In forensic psychiatry environments, nurses are regularly confronted with the use of restrictive measures such as chemical restraints and are forced to constantly navigate between care and social control. The debate over the ethics of coercion and the use of control measures for violence in psychiatric settings is far from resolved. The objective of this study is to understand the ethical experience of nurses in a Canadian forensic psychiatry environment when administering PRN (when required) medication against the patient's will.

[Keep an Eye on, Control and Treat: Consent to Care at the Quebec Review Board].

Objectives The right to refuse care for accused persons found criminally not responsible on account of mental disorder or unfit to stand trial is recognized and strictly regulated by the legal mechanisms of Quebec civil law, and Canadian criminal law does not allow them to be treated against their will. Review Boards, which are responsible for ruling on and periodically re-evaluating their situation, cannot prescribe treatment, but have the authority, with the consent of the accused, to impose a condition relating to treatment. The purpose of this ethnographic study is to document the discourse and practices of the Quebec Review Board in this area.

[Clinical reasoning and simulation: facilitating hypothesis prioritization using simulated patients. Data from quantitative research].

Background: Prioritizing diagnostic hypotheses can be difficult for novice medical students given their limited clinical exposure. Simulated clinical reasoning (CR) clinics allow students to practice focused histories with a simulated patient (SP). The delivery of clinical data by SPs can influence hypothesis generation.

[Cross-cultural adaptation of a tool for measuring nurses’ opinions and beliefs with regard to continuing professional development: French-Canadian version of Q-PDN].

Introduction: The continuing professional development of nurses remains a key issue within the health context.

Context: The Questionnaire - Professional Development Nurses (Q-PDN) was developed to understand the opinions and beliefs of nurses regarding continuing professional development is essential to improving the quality of care and optimizing job satisfaction.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate a French online training program for the FLACC scale offered to Francophone undergraduate nursing students.

Validity, reliability, and acceptability of the Evidence-Informed Decision-Making (EIDM) competence measure.

Valid, reliable, and acceptable tools for assessing self-reported competence in evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) are required to provide insight into the current status of EIDM knowledge, skills, attitudes/beliefs, and behaviours for registered nurses working in public health. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity, reliability, and acceptability of the EIDM Competence Measure. A psychometric study design was employed guided by the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing and general measurement development principles.

Sexual activity based fears during pregnancy, sexual function and dyadic adjustment in couples who are expecting their first child.

Sexual activity based fears during pregnancy are common, but very few studies have examined their association with relationship variables. Secondary analysis of associations between these fears during pregnancy and both partners' sexual function and dyadic adjustment were conducted. A sample of 67 French-Canadian first-time parenting couples living in Ontario completed online questionnaires on sexual activity based fears, sexual function, and dyadic adjustment as experienced during pregnancy.

[Feedback Guide for direct observation of family medicine residents in Canada: a francophone tool].

Background: There is no CanMEDS-FM-based milestone tool to guide feedback during direct observation (DO). We have developed a guide to support documentation of feedback for direct observation (DO) in Canadian family medicine (FM) programs.

Methods: The Guide was designed in three phases with the collaboration of five Canadian FM programs with at least a French-speaking teaching site: 1) literature review and needs assessment; 2) development of the DO Feedback Guide; 3) testing the Guide in a video simulation context with qualitative content analysis.

Produce a French-Canadian translation of AMSTAR 2, affirm its content validity, and examine interrater reliability. Based on Vallerand's methodological approach, we conducted forward and parallel inverse-translations. Subsequently, an expert panel evaluated the translations to create a preliminary experimental French-Canadian version.
