Abstract This article presents the history and challenges of patient graduation, positioning it as a means of supporting patient engagement and
user involvement in the healthcare system. A set of laws related to patient rights and healthcare quality allows for the integration of
patients into the healthcare system, but they face the unpreparedness of institutions in this new field of practices. Patient graduation
requires transformations in the modes of reception and financing of universities, as well as in the pedagogical methods that need to be
tailored to the reception and training of individuals in vulnerable situations. The article provides a detailed… More >

Abstract Aim: Oncologists are particularly prone to developing burnout syndrome due to the demanding task of caring for cancer patients.
Undiagnosed and incorrectly managed, burnout can have a negative impact on professional performance. The objective of the
study is to measure the frequency of burnout among nursing staff at the Institut de Cancérologie d’Akanda (ICA) and to assess the main risk factors. Procedure: We conducted a cross-sectional study at the ICA during the month of January 2022.
Burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Results: Between the 42 participants, there was a female
predominance (57.1%) with a male to… More >

Abstract Hypnosis, one of the earliest mind-body treatments, has been the subject of renewed interest in the last decade with research indicating
its effectiveness for varied physiological and psychological ailments including pain, distress, and psychosomatic disorders. However,
the adoption and acceptance of hypnosis are still hindered by myths and misconceptions that prevail among the general public and
clinicians. Considering their significant role in promoting the successful delivery and acceptance of interventions, informing clinicians
about hypnosis is crucial to promote balanced views, and thereby the adoption of this intervention when warranted. This narrative
review traces the historical roots of myths surrounding hypnosis,… More >

Abstract Aims: We aimed to compare cancer survivors’ fatigue expression with that of the general population and examine psychobiological
factors associated with fatigue. Procedure: In this quantitative, transversal study, we analyzed clinical and sociodemographic
indicators of 389 participants (68.38% females): 148 cancer survivors on active treatment, 55 disease-free survivors, 75 patients
with another chronic disease, and 111 healthy individuals. Results: Fatigue was expressed dissimilarly in patients with a
previous history of cancer and participants without a history of cancer. Survivors on active treatment reported significantly
higher levels of fatigue than the other clinical status groups. Nonetheless, some level of cancer-related fatigue… More >

Abstract Introduction. No study has examined the relationship between the factor of intolerance of uncertainty and its effects on the
cognitive processes among parents of a childhood cancer survivor. Intolerance of uncertainty is a central factor in generalized
anxiety disorder; an anxiety disorder in which impaired processing of cognitive information in the form of cognitive biases is
also observed. The aim of the study was to measure, via a classical Stroop test and an emotional Stroop test, the orientation of
selective attention in relation to the uncertainty intolerance factor. Methods. 61 parents of a childhood cancer survivor (aged 4
to 6… More >

Abstract Aims: This study aimed to determine if people with cancer (PWC) exhibit a unique COVID-19 risk perception profile and
identify psychosocial factors characterizing PWC who do not conform to the majority risk perception profile. Procedure: A cross-sectional online self-questionnaire study was conducted in France from April 25 to May 07, 2020, with a sample
(n = 748) comprising PWC, individuals not currently receiving cancer treatment, and those without a history of cancer.
Latent profiles of COVID-19 risk perception (PCRP) were established. Methods: A multivariate multinomial logistic
regression was performed to assess the association between cancer status and PCRP membership. Characteristics… More >

Abstract Hypnosis is a modified state of consciousness which showed its benefits to decrease different symptoms, mainly pain. During the
last decade, this technique has also been proposed to adults with cancer to improve other symptoms, such as emotional distress,
fatigue, or sleep difficulties. In pediatric oncology, hypnosis is also used to decrease disease-, treatment-, and procedure-related
pain and anxiety. The learning of self-hypnosis and self-care techniques also improves the well-being of adults or children with
cancer, their parents, and their siblings. Through several clinical cases, we will illustrate how hypnosis and self-care techniques
have been implemented in the pediatric haemato-oncology… More >
