... The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) comprises 21 positively formulated statements describing various changes that can occur as a result of an experienced traumatic event (Dubuy et al., 2022;Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996). The PTGI is scored by adding all the responses (0-105). ...

... We showed that both populations (CPs and HCWs) had a similar prevalence of COVID-19 infection, noted the major diagnostic importance of anosmia and the high proportion of asymptomatic cases among CPs, and demonstrated that the seropositivity, high after the first vaccine among HCWs and low among CPs, was close to 100% after the second injection in both populations. Unfortunately, we, as others, observed some infections in vaccinated populations [12][13][14]. The aim of the present article is to describe these vaccine breakthrough infections in both cohorts. ...

... Assessing patients' quality of life (QoL) is important for healthcare professionals in capturing clients' own perspectives of their diseases and treatment effectiveness. A 2020 study reported that French hospital doctors recognized QoL assessment as a standardized tool to minimize subjectivity and ensure stability of outcome [4]. It is crucial for clinicians in formulating tailored care plans for clients and fostering therapeutic relationships. ...

... Coping strategies have been shown to be important variables in uncontrollable and unchangeable situations [36], of which cancer is one. Cancer patients use various coping strategies to deal with this difficult situation [2,37]. The model of coping to cancer developed by Watson et al. [42] suggests adaptive (fighting spirit, fatalism) and maladaptive (cognitive avoidance, hopeless, anxious preoccupation) strategies, used by oncology patients [41,[46][47][48]. ...

... Berkman et al. summarized that survivors of childhood cancers were at risk of psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, distress, and suicide, while the resilience and PTG experienced by some survivors might offset the impact of these adverse psychological factors [31]. Bourdon et al. found that positive and emotional coping was positively correlated with PTG [32]. Nishikawa et al.'s findings indicated that perceived stress at the time of negative life events directly or indirectly predicted current depression via PTG [33]. ...

... Changes in global religious or spiritual meaning in cancer survivorship are also common [98]. Bourdon and her colleagues found melanoma cancer patients reported having become more spiritual and developed a stronger sense of the sacred directing their lives; however, survivors also reported believing less strongly in their faith or feeling spiritually lost because of their cancer [108]. Interestingly, these two directions of perceived change were uncorrelated in a sample of survivors of a variety of cancers, although positive spiritual transformations were related to higher levels of emotional well-being and quality of life, while negative spiritual transformations were inversely related to well-being and quality of life [109]. ...

... It highlights a myriad of critical touch points leading to an alteration in the perception of care on which the institutions need to pay special attention. This research Revue Gestion & Management public | Vol. 8, n°2 -2020 du cancer chez les patientes atteintes d'un cancer du sein), sur les choix de prise en charge ou encore sur la qualité de vie (Bonnaud-Antignac et al., 2015 ;Bourdon et al., 2016 ;Bonnaud-Antignac et Bourdon, 2017). Bien que ceux-ci apportent un éclairage sur le comportement des patients sous un angle psychologique, ils ne permettent pas d'aborder le parcours patient dans sa globalité ni de repérer leurs besoins à chacune des étapes du parcours. ...

... In line with Hannon and Dunlop, another research by Clobert et al. presents the results of their study on good days for Leoas Horoscope's influence on perception, cognitive performances, and creativity [13]. ...

... Anthoine et al. (2014) estimated that sample sizes of such studies ranged from 24 to 7,906, with a mean sample size of 509 (standard deviation = 1094) and a median equal to 207, (ii) Analyses of data from observational studies including PRO measures. Based on our practical experience in France, cohorts generally contain about 300 to 500 patients [e.g., PreKitQol (Sébille et al., 2016), ELCCA (Bourdon et al., 2016) and FATSEIN (Rotonda et al., 2011)], but some cohorts are also larger, notably within population-based cohort [e.g., VICAN (Bouhnik et al., 2015)], (iii) Studies on data collected within clinical trials, where sample size generally range between 100 to 1,000, often equally distributed between the treatment arms (Glas et al., 2009;Loubert et al., 2022). ...
