Stratégies de coping et dynamique d'équipe: travail de Bachelor

Ce travail de Bachelor est une revue de la littérature qui a pour but de montrer les répercussions de la dynamique de groupe sur la qualité des soins. Il démontre l’importance de la satisfaction au travail, la nécessité de la communication au sein d’une équipe, et le rôle majeur de la hiérarchie pour le bien être des professionnels soignants. L’issue de ce travail insiste sur la coresponsabilité de chacun et les stratégies de coping finalement propres à chaque personnalité. C’est au regard des modes de l’interdépendance et des fonctions de rôle selon Roy, que ces différentes stratégies de coping ont été discutées. Une atmosphère propice à l’entre aide, favorisant la confiance dans l’unité de soins, et des entretiens d’évaluation réguliers pertinents par la hierarchie permettent de prévenir l’épuisement professionnel, et favorise la dynamique d’équipe

‘Just gripping my heart and squeezing’:Naming and explaining the emotional experience of receiving bad news in the paediatric oncology setting

Objective To explore recipients’ perspectives on the range and origins of their emotional experiences during their ‘bad news’ consultations. Methods Participants were four bereaved families of children who had changed from active treatment to palliative care in paediatric oncology. Data was collected using emotional touchpoint storytelling. The names (descriptors) given to the emotional experiences were linguistically classified. Explanations of their perceived origins were examined using applied thematic analysis. Results 26 descriptors were given, relating to bodily sensations, affective states, evaluations and cognitive conditions. Three themes were identified in the origins of these experiences – ‘becoming aware’, ‘the changes’ and ‘being in this situation’. Parents described strong emotional displays during the consultation including physical collapse. These related to the internal process of ‘becoming aware’. Three descriptors were given as originating from the clinicians and their delivery of the news – ‘supported’, ‘included’, ‘trusting’. Conclusions Recipients perceive their emotional experiences as mainly originating from the news itself, and perceived consequences of it, rather than its delivery. Strong emotional reactions during the interaction are not necessarily an indicator of ineffectual delivery. Practice Implications Findings offer a thematic framing that may support and deepen practitioners’ understanding of recipients’ emotional reactions during bad news consultations

Searching for the expelled hydrogen envelope in Type I supernovae via late-time H-alpha emission

We report the first results from our long-term observational survey aimed at discovering late-time interaction between the ejecta of hydrogen-poor Type I supernovae and the hydrogen-rich envelope expelled from the progenitor star several decades/centuries before explosion. The expelled envelope, moving with a velocity of ~10 -- 100 km s$^{-1}$, is expected to be caught up by the fast-moving SN ejecta several years/decades after explosion depending on the history of the mass-loss process acting in the progenitor star prior to explosion. The collision between the SN ejecta and the circumstellar envelope results in net emission in the Balmer-lines, especially in H-alpha. We look for signs of late-time H-alpha emission in older Type Ia/Ibc/IIb SNe having hydrogen-poor ejecta, via narrow-band imaging. Continuum-subtracted H-alpha emission has been detected for 13 point sources: 9 SN Ibc, 1 SN IIb and 3 SN Ia events. Thirty-eight SN sites were observed on at least two epochs, from which three objects (SN 1985F, SN 2005kl, SN 2012fh) showed significant temporal variation in the strength of their H-alpha emission in our DIAFI data. This suggests that the variable emission is probably not due to nearby H II regions unassociated with the SN, and hence is an important additional hint that ejecta-CSM interaction may take place in these systems. Moreover, we successfully detected the late-time H-alpha emission from the Type Ib SN 2014C, which was recently discovered as a strongly interacting SN in various (radio, infrared, optical and X-ray) bands.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figures, accepted in Ap
