INTRODUCTION This study seeks to understand the barriers women face in accessing modern health care in the city of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo.Purpose of research We examined the experiences, perceptions and representations of the population and caregivers by conducting a total of 66 semi-directive interviews. RESULTS In Goma, the use of healthcare facilities often requires the prior consent of the husband or head of the family. Within hospitals and health centers, sexual harassment appears to be a common practice that may discourage some girls or women from accessing health care. In the female population, young girls, single mothers and women victims of sexual violence face specific obstacles. Caregivers, far from being neutral technicians, are imbued with dominant cultural and religious norms; this has repercussions on the services provided. CONCLUSIONS By relating gender to marital status, age, education level and socio-economic profile, we were able to understand the specific barriers faced by certain categories of women. However, women are not the only ones facing difficulties in accessing care. It would be interesting to track studies on other discriminated groups in order to gain a global understanding of the situation.INTRODUCTION This article relates and analyzes a partnership between a local and an international organization settled both in Djibouti.Purpose of research From the very beginning, ongoing observational and analytical assessment allowed for a complete study of the entire partnership process, from the initial replies to calls for projects to the completion of projects. RESULTS Results are given from two angles. A factual narrative of the partnership first illustrates some behaviors, and then the whole partnership is analyzed. CONCLUSIONS Authors conclude that structural, functional and ethical asymmetry between both structures, as they are not of equal weight. Although they may be willing to work together and are complementary, this asymmetry produces a force-ratio absolutely unsuitable for project enhancement. Moreover, it pleads for aid localization and for local structures dedicated to development.localization and for local structures dedicated to humane development.OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with survival among prisoners at Mbuji-Mayi Central Prison, in Democratic Republic of Congo between January 2014 and December 2016. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study. The mortality rate was calculated during the 3-year follow-up period and the Kaplan-Meier survival curve was determined. Cox regression and risk ratio (HR) were used to analyze and quantify factors associated with survival. The study involved a total of 793 inmates. RESULTS The average age of inmates was 33 ± 10 years (extremes 17-67 years). The median follow-up time was 12 months for a total of 7,513 person-months. The number of deaths recorded was 135, for a mortality rate of 17.9/1,000 person-months. Risk factors associated with death were malnutrition (HR = 17.5; 95% CI = [12.1; 25.4]) and tuberculosis (HR = 11.8; 95% CI = [7.7; 17.8]). CONCLUSION This study highlights a high rate of deaths in prisons and identifies the two potential factors (malnutrition and tuberculosis) that prison and health authorities need to address.The Center Val de Loire region is particularly affected by the shortage of health professionals. The demographics of dentists are not immune to this situation and the retirement of a practitioner has become a real public health issue. For this purpose, bridges were created between the faculties of odontology of Nantes, Clermont-Ferrand and the Faculty of Medicine of Tours, to welcome short cycle students in Center Val de Loire region, to create a link with the liberal practitioners and to allow the students to confront the health issues of this territory.INTRODUCTION This paper examines whether the development of general medicine as a specialty in France since the mid-2000s has had an impact on medical theses. It analyses the changes resulting from the discipline's autonomatization process, involving an investment in some human and social science methods.Purpose of research In a diachronic approach, all dissertations defended in a general medicine department in 1999, 2007 and 2015 were analyzed (N = 291). We performed systematic coding of the types of methods used, the areas of research investigated, as well as the supervisors' areas of specialization. We used this coded data to develop a typology of research topics (using a hierarchic classification method based on the coordinates of a principal component analysis). RESULTS Over the period under study, we observed a complexification of medical theses, which increasingly addressed multi-dimensional research topics. We also noted the emergence of new types of subjects, dealing with the exercise of the specialty and close to social science concerns (on the practices and dispositions of healthcare actors). Qualitative methods have been used more and more often, as a result of the increase in the number of theses supervised by GPs. CONCLUSIONS The reform of general medicine has impacted the subjects treated and methods used in theses, and sheds light on the dynamics of the emergence of a new health research field.INTRODUCTION The article aims to characterize the social determinants that define the cancer experience in its plurality, making room for the consideration of socio-economic and ethno-racial inequalities, and discusses territorial entry as a marker of health inequalities. METHODS The analysis retains the qualitative and French aspect of two projects, including a European research project of mixed protocol, and relies on 60 interviews with patients and professionals involved in their care and 100 H of in situ observation of care consultations. RESULTS The results are structured around four axes. The first focuses on universal care and health coverage. The second focuses on 'visible minorities,' more present in the city priority neighborhoods (CPN) than in the rural areas, and their invisibilization in oncology. The third part shows that an analysis of the caregivers' interactions with patients must rely on the notion of trust and that they first and foremost come from the 'good reputation' of professionals and institutions. Finally, the fourth part puts into perspective the gendered contours of the trajectory of illness and social support. CONCLUSION The article highlights the mechanisms of production of health inequalities in a context of desertification. It shows that these inequalities remain embedded in a system of territorial, socio-economic and racial segregation that reinforces the feelings of discrimination of cancer patients.Purpose of research The purpose of this research was to promote the involvement and intervention of patient-partners (PPs) in collective sessions of therapeutic patient education (TPE), including training and support for the implementation of these sessions, in co-facilitation with a health professional (HP). Therefore, the matter was to co-construct a training model, to experiment with its implementation and to define favorable conditions for this collaboration. METHODS Collaborative research oriented by the design, led by a steering committee representative of different categories of stakeholders, which has been spread over 2 years, in Paris area and Montpellier, in 4 phases 1/ exploration (bibliographic review and investigation); 2/ recruitment of PPs affected by different pathologies; 3/ implementation and evaluation of PPs training in inter-pathology; 4/ implementation and evaluation of co-facilitated group sessions. RESULTS 35 patients solicited, 24 (69%) included. Of these, 22 (92%) completed the training entirely; 17 sessions were conducted in co-facilitation (15 planned) for 151 patients (150 expected). Satisfaction rates for PPs, HPs and patient beneficiaries were very high. CONCLUSIONS This research validated a training model for patient-partners in therapeutic education and identified some conditions that could facilitate their integration into TPE programs.INTRODUCTION A language barrier leads to negative impacts on access and quality of health care for non-French speaking patients. Faced with this problem, professional interpreting services, either with an interpreter physically present, or on the phone, were set up in the private health sector in 2017 in the Pays de la Loire region. These services were inspired by projects launched in 2010 by the Migration Santé Alsace association. The main goal of the study was to evaluate the satisfaction of private sector doctors using the interpreting service during their appointments with non-French speaking patients. METHODS This quantitative, observational and prospective study was conducted in the whole Pays de la Loire region between June 2017 and December 2018. The satisfaction was evaluated with an online survey filled in by the doctor at the end of every appointment with an interpreter. RESULTS Results show very good overall satisfaction from the doctors using both physically present and phone interpreters. The survey also highlighted the improvement of the relationship between doctors and patients. Etomoxir CPT inhibitor The main difficulty identified is that of time constraint with, in particular, an increase of the length of the appointment. DISCUSSION This study highlights the need to develop and broaden professional interpreting services for private sector doctors. The measure is shown to be easy to use with few constraints. It guarantees the respect of the patient's right to express themselves properly and give their free and informed consent.INTRODUCTION While gay and lesbian sexual and reproductive health issues are well-informed, others issues about health and the relationship to the body are less often addressed.Purpose of research Coming from "LGBTI Health" research, this article tries to fill this gap by aiming to reproduce the results of a quantitative survey conducted in France in 2017 focusing more specifically on gay and lesbian people. Also, the results of this research are compared with the available literature on this question. RESULTS By measuring indices such as the use of diets, weight or sport, we tend to show that homosexuals do not have the same relationship to the body as heterosexuals. We also show that differences appear among gays and lesbians. CONCLUSION If the results of this study are concomitant with the international data on the subject, they also show blind spot in terms of relationship to the body of homosexual subcultures.OBJECTIVES The main objective was to describe the weighting methodology used for the national EVREST (Evolution and Relations in Health at Work) survey data. The secondary objectives were on the one hand to assess the extent of the differences between crude and weighted estimates, on the other hand to verify that the two-year gap in the availability of the reference data used does substantially not impact the estimates. METHODS The study was based on data collected in 2013 and 2014 (N = 26,227). The weighting included 2 steps 1) a first weighing to take into account the probability of participation of each employee; and 2) a calibration on margins to correct the potential distortions of the sample in comparison with the scope of the survey, the reference data used coming from the annual declarations of social data (DADS) of the years 2014 and 2012. The impact of the weighting method was studied using the differences between crude and weighted percentages for the 60 variables of the questionnaire. RESULTS 90% of the differences between crude and weighted estimates were between - 2.
