Background
While the use of chemotherapy near the end of life (EOL) has been identified as a relevant criterion for assessing quality of cancer care and has been estimated as non-beneficial, a trend of aggressiveness in cancer care during the last period of life remains. Both patients’ sociodemographic characteristics and physicians’ practice setti...
The gynaecological examination (GE) is a major public health issue, with bad experiences of this examination widely reported as a disincentive to cervical cancer screening. In France, a movement to denounce gynaecological and obstetrical violence is expressed through a massive publication of testimonies on social networks. Via a socio-representatio...
Researcher triangulation is often used in studies based on qualitative research in order to look for consensus and to limit the influence of researcher subjectivity. A more innovative way of comprehending this strategy is to consider subjectivity as an aid to the understanding of the phenomena under study. This perspective refers to long-standing c...

To explore cancer patients' experience of pain and coping strategies as well as beliefs and representations associated with pain, pain management and treatments.

As the object of care in medical treatment, the body is apprehended and invested in by patients from the point of view of the subject. The social, cultural and historical background of the subjects shapes their relationship with their body and regulates the possible impact of its transformations. These elements are important to take into account in...
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is now recognized internationally as a significant problem against which public action is being taken. However, victims commonly disclose little of this violence. The understanding of sociocultural factors that prevent women from talking about their male partner’s violence towards them thus appears to be an important...
Currently qualitative research in psychology is underrepresented in the French academic setting; however, it has gained more importance over the past two decades. Within the context of the French academic setting, the aim of this article is to present the development of a theory-driven mixed method design in the critical health psychology approach...
MDS is a complex and potentially severe disease which can trigger psychological distress. A lack of information received and understood about MDS may also arouse feelings of distress. Low health literacy (HL) might play a role particularly among older patients. Our aim was to assess MDS-related distress and to study the factors associated with it,...
The aim of this qualitative study based on a Social Representations approach was to explore experienced oncologists’ representations of difficult decision-making situations. In total, 22 semi-structured interviews with oncologists were conducted and analysed by performing a thematic content analysis. The thematic content analysis brought to light t...
Introduction. - Interpretative phenomenological analysis is a qualitative discourse analysis method that has sprung up much research in psychology over the past 20 years. Grounded in phenomenology, idiography and hermeneutics, this research strategy strongly suits the understanding of individuals lived experience and their sense making of life even...
Résumé
Introduction
L’analyse interprétative phénoménologique (IPA) est une méthode d’analyse qualitative du discours propice à la compréhension de l’expérience vécue et du sens que les individus donnent à leurs évènements de vie et dont les développements en psychologie sont foisonnants.
Objectifs
En s’appuyant sur la présentation détaillée d’un...
En cancérologie, les pratiques de décisions thérapeutiques sont régulées par l’existence de recommandations pour la pratique clinique et par une approche collective des décisions. Cette régulation collective, notamment centrée sur les cas dits « non standards » (i.e pour lesquels les recommandations sont inapplicables ou inexistantes), nous informe...
Background:
The contribution of patients' non-medical characteristics to individual physicians' decision-making has attracted considerable attention, but little information is available on this topic in the context of collective decision-making. Medical decision-making at cancer centres is currently carried out using a collective approach, at Mult...

Background: In oncology, medical decision-making is standardised by the use of guidelines based on Evidence Based Medicine and regulated by a collective approach through Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings. The objective is to study the emergence of patients’ non-medical characteristics in MDT meetings and their interaction with final team medica...
Introduction: En dépit du développement croissant des Recommandations pour la Pratique Clinique encadrant la prise en charge des patients atteints de cancer, nombre de décisions continuent d’être prises dans des situations marquées par l’incertitude. Dans un tel contexte, la théorie des représentations sociales nous invite à envisager que la mobili...
The concept of illness representations is of major interest in health psychology. It has been described as a predictor of health behaviour and patient’s subjective experience. This literature review has two main objectives: rstly to identify and to assess the available scales, and secondly to analyse their use in empirical studies with cancer patie...
Many cancer patients’ management decisions remain to be taken in a context of uncertainty. In this context, social representations theory allows considering that practitioners may refer to lay theories regarding the patient for decision making. The objectives of this study were to nd out what therapeutic options were discussed in Multidisciplinary...
La qualité de vie des patientes atteintes de cancer du sein et la représentation de leur maladie ont fait l’objet de nombreuses études [1] [2]. Les liens entre ces représentations donnant du sens à l’expérience de la maladie et la qualité de vie ont été peu étudiés. L’objectif de cette recherche est, après avoir étudié l’organisation de la représen...
