Le médecin du travail face au harcèlement moral au travail : constats et prespectives

peer reviewedL'article de D. Faulx et C. Geuzaine, paru dans le numéro 3-2000 de cette revue, aborde l'étendue du phénomène du harcèlement moral ainsi que les aspects juridiques de la définition, la description du processus, ses conséquences médicales et les facteurs de risque. Dans la suite de cette étude, nous présentons ici les résultats d'une enquête menée auprès des médecins du travail, en tant que témoins et intervenants privilégiés dans le domaine du harcèlement. Cette enquête vise à apporter des informations descriptives originales concernant les attitudes, les opinions et représentations des médecins du travail par rapport au phénomène de harcèlement moral. En outre, elle est l'occasion de tester une série d'hypothèses sur les facteurs pouvant influencer l'attitude des médecins du travail vis-à-vis du harcèlement moral

Vivre des projets environnementaux en formation initiale, pour stimuler la pratique en éducation relative à l’environnement

Le vécu expérimental, sur le terrain, peut donner du sens aux apprentissages et permettre de développer le décloisonnement et l’éducation aux valeurs. Regard sur notre contexte de formation Comme dans de nombreux pays européens, la formation des enseignants en Belgique Francophone est fortement divisée en disciplines et les contenus à apprendre sont une juxtaposition de « tiroirs » contenant un savoir, une expertise et une didactique disciplinaire. Pendant trois ans, la formation initiale est..

Comment développer le portfolio étudiant au supérieur ? Analyse de dispositifs innovants à l’Université de Liège

Depuis 2008, l’Institut de Formation et de Recherche en Enseignement Supérieur de l’Université de Liège (IFRES) accompagne des innovations pédagogiques qui consistent, notamment, en l’implantation de portfolios pour des étudiants de master. Ces initiatives, venant de quatre équipes d’enseignants-chercheurs (Psychologie sociale des groupes et des organisations, Formation d’adultes, Pharmacie et Logopédie), poursuivent des objectifs centrés sur l’articulation théorie-pratique, l’accompagnement de démarches réflexives, le développement et l’évaluation de compétences. Notre communication se focalisera principalement sur la mise en œuvre de ces initiatives au travers des questions suivantes : Comment intégrer un portfolio étudiant dans le cadre d’une formation universitaire? Comment en évaluer son contenu? Comment accompagner les étudiants dans la collecte de preuves significatives ? Des perspectives concernant l’accompagnement de tels projets pédagogiques seront également abordées pour qu’au delà de l’analyse de quelques dispositifs portfolio, notre communication apporte un regard plus critique sur les conditions optimales d’implantation et d’accompagnement d’innovations pédagogiques telles que la mise en place d’un portfolio pour les étudiants

How to ensure better consideration and mitigation of the shrinkage–swelling risk of clays?

For several years, climate change in Luxembourg has increasingly resulted, among other things, in precipitation deficits, which causes damage linked to the phenomenon of shrinkage–swelling of clays, affecting both buildings and infrastructures. The south of Luxembourg, with its predominantly marly and clayey Triassic and Jurassic rocks, is particularly at risk. While the usual stabilisation methods are often used, such as underpinning or injecting under the foundations, they have several drawbacks. As an alternative, innovative rainwater reinjection methods have been tested by our office, with encouraging results, and could help to prevent the occurrence of damage to structures. At the same time, the establishment of a hazard map and the development of technical regulations specifying the parameters to be determined and the tests to be carried out would allow better management of the risk by all stakeholders, as well as the limitation of related costs

Can adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes be predicted when blood pressure becomes elevated? Secondary analyses from the CHIPS (Control of Hypertension In Pregnancy Study) randomized controlled trial.

INTRODUCTION: For women with chronic or gestational hypertension in CHIPS (Control of Hypertension In Pregnancy Study, NCT01192412), we aimed to examine whether clinical predictors collected at randomization could predict adverse outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a planned, secondary analysis of data from the 987 women in the CHIPS Trial. Logistic regression was used to examine the impact of 19 candidate predictors on the probability of adverse perinatal (pregnancy loss or high level neonatal care for >48 h, or birthweight <10th percentile) or maternal outcomes (severe hypertension, preeclampsia, or delivery at <34 or <37 weeks). A model containing all candidate predictors was used to start the stepwise regression process based on goodness of fit as measured by the Akaike information criterion. For face validity, these variables were forced into the model: treatment group ("less tight" or "tight" control), antihypertensive type at randomization, and blood pressure within 1 week before randomization. Continuous variables were represented continuously or dichotomized based on the smaller p-value in univariate analyses. An area-under-the-receiver-operating-curve (AUC ROC) of ≥0.70 was taken to reflect a potentially useful model. RESULTS: Point estimates for AUC ROC were <0.70 for all but severe hypertension (0.70, 95% CI 0.67-0.74) and delivery at <34 weeks (0.71, 95% CI 0.66-0.75). Therefore, no model warranted further assessment of performance. CONCLUSIONS: CHIPS data suggest that when women with chronic hypertension develop an elevated blood pressure in pregnancy, or formerly normotensive women develop new gestational hypertension, maternal and current pregnancy clinical characteristics cannot predict adverse outcomes in the index pregnancy

Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Management of the Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: Executive Summary

Objective: This executive summary presents in brief the current evidence assessed in the clinical practice guideline prepared by the Canadian Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Working Group and published by Pregnancy Hypertension (. http://www.pregnancyhypertension.org/article/S2210-7789(14)00004-X/fulltext) to provide a reasonable approach to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Evidence: Published literature was retrieved through searches of Medline, CINAHL, and The Cochrane Library in March 2012 using appropriate controlled vocabulary (e.g., pregnancy, hypertension, pre-eclampsia, pregnancy toxemias) and key words (e.g., diagnosis, evaluation, classification, prediction, prevention, prognosis, treatment, postpartum follow-up). Results were restricted to systematic reviews, randomized control trials, controlled clinical trials, and observational studies published in French or English between January 2006 and February 2012. Searches were updated on a regular basis and incorporated in the guideline to September 2013. Grey (unpublished) literature was identified through searching the websites of health technology assessment and health technology-related agencies, clinical practice guideline collections, clinical trial registries, and national and international medical specialty societies. Values: The quality of evidence in the guideline summarized here was rated using the criteria described in the Report of the Canadian Task Force on Preventative Health Care (. Table 1)
