[Setting-up and evaluation of an educational program for the teaching of breast and pelvic examination in undergraduate medical students: the "PRESAGE" simulation center experience of the medicine university of Lille, France]. / Mise en place et évaluation d'un apprentissage par simulation des examens gynécologiques.

OBJECTIVES: To report the setting-up of a new educational program in the teaching of female pelvic and breast examinations and to investigate and compare the views and experience of undergraduate medical students and teachers on the program. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Prospective evaluation of the teaching program through completion of a satisfaction questionnaire including items related to the educational value of the session by the students and the teachers. RESULTS: The educational program included an online preparation for the session, 3 workshops on training models (breast examination, pelvic examination, cervical snear procedure) and a video clip. In total, 419 (80.6%) of 520 second study year students (and 15 [50%] of 30 teachers [13 doctors and 17 midwifes] responded to the questionnaire). The students and the teachers were either very satisfied (56.6% and 13.4%, respectively) or satisfied (43.2% and 86.6%, respectively). On average, 89.7% of students wanted more lessons of this type and all teachers felt these useful or very useful training for students. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Teaching sessions for pelvic and breast examination, which make combined use of videos and training models, are associated with a high degree of satisfaction from teachers and students in their second student's year.

[Pertussis in adults in the maternity ward: management and prevention for protecting newborns and infants]. / Prise en charge de la coqueluche chez l'adulte en maternité pour préserver les nourrissons.

Pertussis is a potentially serious illness in very young infants. The growing number of cases encountered in the past few years is partly explained by the loss of immunity, either natural or post vaccinal. To prevent the occurrence of pertussis in newborns and very young infants, it is mandatory to ensure compliance with vaccination recommendations regarding the general population (vaccination of young adults likely to have a child, of fathers and siblings during pregnancies, of mothers soon after birth), as well as professionals in contact with infants too young to have received their three doses of primary vaccination (diphtheria-tetanus-polio-pertussis booster may be performed as soon as the latest is more than two years). Obstetricians, midwives and pediatricians are directly concerned by this vaccinal strategy, owing to their prominent place in both informing couples during pregnancy and after delivery, and performing maternal vaccines soon after birth.
