Introduction
I have a background (Master) in developmental psychology, and a PhD in Health Psychology. I'm working on prevention and quality of life in cancer patients. More exactly, I try to understand fatigue in this population. I developped self-assessment tools, and my research focuses on trajectories analysis (latent class analysis) and their psychosocial determiners.
Futures researches will be oriented in interventional research, with the aim to enhance quality of life in cancer patients.

Background
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is a prevalent and debilitating symptom experienced by many patients, affecting both their physical and psychological well-being. This study aims to explore the network organization of three dimensions of CRF (i.e., general, physical, and psychological) and to examine how patient’s resources such as coping st...

Background
Understanding cancer symptom cluster through network analyses is a new approach in oncology, revealing interconnected and influential relationships among reported symptoms. We aimed to assess these relationships using network analysis in posttreatment breast cancer patients, focusing on the five dimensions of cancer‐related fatigue (CRF)...
Background
A psychoneurological symptom cluster composed of cancer-related fatigue, emotional distress, sleep difficulties, and pain is very common among patients with cancer. Cognitive difficulties are also frequently associated with this cluster. Network analyses allow for an in-depth understanding of the relationships between symptoms in a clust...
BACKGROUND
eHealth interventions offer vital support for cancer patients through education, behavior change, and monitoring. Despite their potential, patient adherence to these self-help interventions is challenging. Factors like user characteristics, technology, and intervention design influence adherence. Existing reviews have gaps in exploring d...
Background
Digital interventions offer vital support for patients with cancer through education, behavior change, and monitoring. Despite their potential, patient adherence to and engagement with these self-help interventions is challenging.

University students are a vulnerable population, and many recent studies show that anxiety, depressive symptoms, and academic burnout have been on the increase since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings point to a need for interventions to reduce these difficulties. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of 2 f...
Background
In metastatic colorectal cancer (CRCm), fatigue is pervasive, reduces quality of life, and is negatively associated with survival. Its course is explained in part by psychosocial variables such as emotional distress, coping strategies, or perceived control. Thus, to reduce fatigue, psychosocial interventions appear to be relevant. In som...
Résumé
Introduction
L’échelle des Sentiments Sur l’École (SSE), traduite et enrichie du Feelings about School (FAS : Valeski & Stipek, 2001), permet de disposer d’un outil d’évaluation efficient et écologique de l’épanouissement du jeune élève en zone francophone. L’échelle se fonde sur la théorie des processus auto-systémiques, soit sur la satisf...
Changes in health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) over time are not necessarily homogeneous within a population of interest. Our study aim was twofold: to determine homogeneous patient subpopulations distinguished by HRQoL trajectories, and to identify the particular patient profile associated with each subpopulation. To classify patients according...
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on university students, particulary on their mental health. However, little is yet known about how to prevent and/or reduce this impact. Prior to COVID-19, some studies have shown that online stress management programs were successful enough to improve students' mental health and stress adjustment strate...
Résumé
L’alopécie, bien que longtemps considérée comme une conséquence inévitable de la thérapeutique anticancéreuse, représente actuellement un défi aux multiples facettes. La connaissance de la physiologie du cheveu et par voie de conséquence de la physiopathologie de l’alopécie a conduit à montrer qu’il n’y a pas une mais plusieurs types d’alopé...
Objective
: This longitudinal prospective and observational study was designed to identify fatigue trajectories during a 6-month period of chemotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, and examine the psychosocial factors predicting these trajectories. Associations between fatigue and survival were also investigated.
Methods
: A tota...
BACKGROUND
The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting abrupt changes in daily life and ways of learning has had a significant impact on university students, especially on their mental health. However, little is known on how to prevent and/or reduce its impact to date. Prior to COVID, some studies have shown that online stress management programs were...
Non-pharmacologic interventions to reduce cancer-related fatigue are declined into
physical activities or psychosocial interventions. Hypnosis, is always combined with another
therapy (as cognitive and behavioral therapy), so the evaluation of its own efficacy is limited.
We decided to conduct a literature review to understand the hypnosis efficacy...
Dans la population générale, la fatigue reste un symptôme connu, banal et normalisé. Cette sensation disparaît après une période de repos, une sieste ou encore une bonne nuit de sommeil. Cependant, chez les personnes atteintes de cancer, ce symptôme diffère sur de nombreux aspects de la fatigue typique. Nous verrons à travers ce chapitre les partic...
Cancer-related fatigue is a subjective and pervasive symptom, related to the disease and its treatments, and has a significant impact on patients' quality of life. This study has two fundamental goals: (1) to identify different fatigue trajectories in metastatic colorectal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy; (2) to identify psychosocial determ...
Purpose
The MFI was developed in 1995 to assess fatigue as a multidimensional concept. This questionnaire has been widely translated and used; however, its multidimensional structure has not been consistent across studies. In addition there is a need for short questionnaires in the clinical context. Therefore, we aim to develop a MFI-short version...
Purpose
Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF), subjective symptom, is considered the most prevalent and disabling in cancer. To help caregivers better understand it, we developed and evaluated the psychometric properties of a visual analog scale to assess daily CRF.
Method
In our qualitative study, we conducted interviews with caregivers, patients and scie...
Smoking cessation in oncology: what we learn of patients? Patient Education’s news horizons.
Almost 2 out of 3 smokers do not quit smoking after cancer diagnosis. The majority finds it hard to quit, and about half of them feel the need to be helped in the process. To date, there is no therapeutic patient education program based on the educational n...
Nurses and Caregivers need a quick and easy-to-use tool to assess fatigue in cancer patient. Our aim was the developement and the validation of a Visual Analog Scale measuring bi-dimensional fatigue
Objectives 1)to examine fatigue trajectories in patient undergoing chemotherapy 2)to determine whether psychological characteristics can be used to predict fatigue trajectories
