RESUMO

In recent years, the relationship between patients and healthcare professionals, and more broadly between public health actors and citizens, has shifted from a paternalistic, top-down approach to one of increased patient involvement in decision-making. Primary and secondary cancer prevention involve both benefits and risks, underscoring the importance of informed decision-making aligned with each patient and citizen's unique values and preferences. Shared decision-making, supported by decision aids, offers patients and citizens clear and comprehensible information about their options, enabling informed choices. This article aims to compile and define the characteristics of tools developed or translated into French for this purpose.


Depuis plusieurs années, la relation entre les patients et les professionnels de la santé et plus largement entre les acteurs de la santé publique et les citoyens a évolué, passant d'une approche paternaliste et top-down à une implication accrue des patients dans les décisions les concernant. La prévention primaire et secondaire des cancers présente des bénéfices mais parfois également des risques, nécessitant une décision alignée avec les valeurs et les préférences des patients et des citoyens. La prise de décision partagée, via des outils d'aide à la décision, offre aux patients des informations claires et faciles à comprendre à propos des options qui leur sont offertes, afin de prendre une décision éclairée. Cet article vise à recenser les outils créés ou traduits en français et à en définir les caractéristiques.

RESUMO

After five years of deployment, the participation rate in the Vaud colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program remains below projected targets. It was found that the communication tools made available to the population did not provide explicit recommendations regarding how to participate. To this end, Unisanté led a project between 2022 and 2023 to increase awareness and widely disseminate tools specifically designed with the target population. The intention was to provide decision-support tools (I decide to participate) and guidance in the system (in what way) to improve participation by the population targeted by the Vaud CRC screening program. This project incorporated the principles of proportionate universalism, that is to say, adapting screening methods to the specific needs of population sub-groups, such as those in a disadvantaged socio-economic position with low or very low levels of health literacy.


À l'issue de cinq années de déploiement, le taux de participation de la population au programme vaudois de dépistage du cancer colorectal (CCR) s'est révélé en dessous des objectifs souhaités Afin de faciliter une décision de participation, un projet global a été conçu par Unisanté entre 2022 et 2023, dont la finalité était de déployer des actions spécifiques de sensibilisation et de mettre à disposition de la population cible des informations d'une très large accessibilité. L'intention était de disposer d'outils d'aide à la décision (je décide à participer) et d'orientation dans le dispositif (de quelle manière) permettant d'amplifier la participation de la population ciblée par le programme vaudois de dépistage du CCR. Ce projet a permis d'adapter la sensibilisation sur les modalités de dépistage aux populations avec un niveau de littératie en santé faible, voire très faible.

RESUMO

The timing of taking antihypertensive medication does not have an impact on the cardiovascular plan. Geniculate block is an alternative to oral analgesic treatment for knee osteoarthritis. Feedback and audits are ineffective in reducing the inappropriate prescription of antibiotics in Switzerland. The intervention of community health professionals in collaboration with general practitioners allows for the control of arterial hypertension. In the case of peripheral facial paralysis, it is relevant to systematically consider performing magnetic resonance imaging. Aspirin is an alternative to enoxaparin in thromboembolic prophylaxis after surgery for a traumatic fracture. Walking 8,000 steps a few days a week reduces mortality. Opioids are not effective for acute neck and lower back pain.


Le moment de prise des antihypertenseurs n'a pas d'impact sur le plan cardiovasculaire. Le bloc géniculé est une alternative au traitement antalgique oral de la gonarthrose. Le feedback et les audits sont inefficaces dans la diminution de la prescription inappropriée d'antibiotiques en Suisse. L'intervention de professionnelsa de santé communautaire en collaboration avec des généralistes permet de contrôler l'hypertension artérielle. Lors d'une paralysie faciale périphérique, il s'avère pertinent de réfléchir de manière systématique à la réalisation d'une IRM. L'aspirine est une alternative à l'énoxaparine dans la prophylaxie thromboembolique après la chirurgie d'une fracture traumatique. Marcher 8000 pas quelques jours par semaine diminue la mortalité. Les opioïdes ne sont pas efficaces pour les cervicalgies et les lombalgies aiguës.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: New screening tests for colorectal cancer (CRC) are rapidly emerging. Conducting trials with mortality reduction as the end point supporting their adoption is challenging. We re-examined the principles underlying evaluation of new non-invasive tests in view of technological developments and identification of new biomarkers. DESIGN: A formal consensus approach involving a multidisciplinary expert panel revised eight previously established principles. RESULTS: Twelve newly stated principles emerged. Effectiveness of a new test can be evaluated by comparison with a proven comparator non-invasive test. The faecal immunochemical test is now considered the appropriate comparator, while colonoscopy remains the diagnostic standard. For a new test to be able to meet differing screening goals and regulatory requirements, flexibility to adjust its positivity threshold is desirable. A rigorous and efficient four-phased approach is proposed, commencing with small studies assessing the test's ability to discriminate between CRC and non-cancer states (phase I), followed by prospective estimation of accuracy across the continuum of neoplastic lesions in neoplasia-enriched populations (phase II). If these show promise, a provisional test positivity threshold is set before evaluation in typical screening populations. Phase III prospective studies determine single round intention-to-screen programme outcomes and confirm the test positivity threshold. Phase IV studies involve evaluation over repeated screening rounds with monitoring for missed lesions. Phases III and IV findings will provide the real-world data required to model test impact on CRC mortality and incidence. CONCLUSION: New non-invasive tests can be efficiently evaluated by a rigorous phased comparative approach, generating data from unbiased populations that inform predictions of their health impact.

RESUMO

Preventable differences in colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality across racial/ethnic, economic, geographic, and other groups can be eliminated by assuring equitable access and quality across the care continuum, but few interventions have been demonstrated to do so. Multicomponent strategies designed with a health equity framework may be effective. A health equity framework takes into account social determinants of health, multilevel influences (policy, community, delivery, and individual levels), screening processes, and community engagement. Effective strategies for increasing screening uptake include patient navigation and other interventions for structural barriers, reminders and clinical decision support, and data to continuously track metrics and guide targets for improvement. Community resource gaps should be addressed to assure high-quality services irrespective of racial/ethnic and socioeconomic status. One model combinespopulation-based proactive outreach screening with screening delivery at in-person or virtual points of contact, as well as community engagement. Patient- and provider-based behavioral interventions may be considered for increasing screening demand and delivery. Providing a choice of screening tests is recommended for CRC screening, and access to colonoscopy is required for completion of the CRC screening process.

RESUMO

In patients aged 65 or older, the risk of dementia decreases with cataract surgery. Mental stress doubles the risk of a cardiac event in patients with stable coronary artery disease. The one-legged stance performance estimates total mortality in patients 50 years or older. Patients with chronic pain benefit from treatment with dronabinol or nabiximols. Salt substitutes are an alternative to regular salt in hypertensive patients aged 60 years or more. The promotion of physical activity in the office is effective in reducing sedentary behavior. Music has a favorable impact on the mental dimensions of quality of life. Colonoscopies performed on patients aged 75 years or more have a higher risk of non-gastrointestinal complications than gastrointestinal complications.


Chez les patients de 65 ans ou plus, le risque de démence diminue après une chirurgie de la cataracte. Le stress mental double le risque d'événements cardiaques chez des patients avec une coronaropathie stable. La station monopodale effectuée au cabinet permet d'estimer la mortalité totale chez les patients de 50 ans ou plus. Ceux souffrant de douleurs chroniques bénéficient d'un traitement par dronabinol ou nabiximols. Les substituts de sel sont une alternative au sel ordinaire chez les hypertendus de 60 ans ou plus. La promotion de l'activité physique au cabinet est efficace dans la diminution de la sédentarité. La musique a un impact favorable sur les dimensions mentales de la qualité de vie. Les coloscopies effectuées chez les patients de 75 ans ou plus présentent un risque supérieur de complications non gastro-intestinales comparativement à celles gastro-intestinales.

RESUMO

Models of shared decision making recommend the use of patient decision aids. Hundreds of such aids exist worldwide but scaling up of their use in French-speaking Switzerland requires their translation to French and their adaptation to the clinical context. We review seven sources of tools that we assume relevant for French-speaking Switzerland. A short survey on a selection of three decision aids of general practitioners in the canton of Vaud confirmed their general interest in using such tools. They preferred a limited amount and a simple presentation of information in the decision aids to facilitate integration in clinical practice. Given the complexity of the required translations and adaptations, the medical community should develop a collaborative approach to lift this important task.


Les modèles de décision partagée recommandent, autant que possible, l'utilisation d'outils d'aide à la décision. La mise à l'échelle de la décision partagée en Suisse romande nécessite l'accès à un grand nombre d'outils de qualité disponibles en français et adaptés à notre pratique. Des centaines d'outils existent dans le monde entier. Nous passons en revue 7 types d'outils que nous supposons pertinents pour leur utilisation en Suisse romande. Nous présentons également l'avis d'un échantillon de convenance de 10 médecins généralistes vaudois sur une sélection de 3 outils. Les médecins étaient intéressés par l'utilisation de ces outils. Ils jugeaient qu'une quantité limitée et une présentation simplifiée des informations s'intégreraient mieux à leur pratique. La question de leur traduction et/ou adaptation éventuelle demeure complexe.

RESUMO

Lung cancer is responsible for one in five cancer-related deaths. Screening for lung cancer using low-dose chest CT (LDCT) is supported by several international studies targeting the at-risk population as part of an organised programme. Given the organisational challenges for the healthcare systems of the countries concerned, this involves setting up pilot screening projects. This requires close collaboration between the players involved, with a multidisciplinary approach structured around the participant, aiming to offer the expertise of the pulmonologist and the radiologist on the LDCT performed, interpreted with the help of artificial intelligence. Here we set out the elements needed to develop a screening programme, starting with the implementation of a pilot project.


Le cancer pulmonaire est responsable d'un décès lié au cancer sur cinq. Le dépistage du cancer pulmonaire par le scanner thoracique à faible dose (LDCT) est soutenu par plusieurs études internationales ciblant la population à risque dans le cadre d'un programme organisé. Vu les enjeux organisationnels pour le système de santé des pays concernés, cela passe par la mise en place de projets pilotes de dépistage. Cela requiert une collaboration étroite entre les différents acteurs, avec une approche multidisciplinaire structurée autour du participant visant à offrir l'expertise du pneumologue et du radiologue sur le LDCT effectué, interprété avec l'aide de l'intelligence artificielle. Nous exposons ici les éléments nécessaires à l'élaboration d'un programme de dépistage, en passant d'abord par la mise en place d'un projet pilote.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) among subjects with a positive faecal immunochemical test (FIT) who do not undergo a colonoscopy is unknown. We estimated whether non-compliance with colonoscopy after a positive FIT is associated with increased CRC incidence and mortality. METHODS: The FIT-based CRC screening programme in the Veneto region (Italy) invited persons aged 50 to 69 years with a positive FIT (>20 µg Hb/g faeces) for diagnostic colonoscopy at an endoscopic referral centre. In this retrospective cohort study, we compared the 10-year cumulative CRC incidence and mortality among FIT positives who completed a diagnostic colonoscopy within the programme (compliers) and those who did not (non-compliers), using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox-Aalen models. RESULTS: Some 88 013 patients who were FIT positive complied with colonoscopy (males: 56.1%; aged 50-59 years: 49.1%) while 23 410 did not (males: 54.6%; aged 50-59 years: 44.9%).The 10-year cumulative incidence of CRC was 44.7 per 1000 (95% CI, 43.1 to 46.3) among colonoscopy compliers and 54.3 per 1000 (95% CI, 49.9 to 58.7) in non-compliers, while the cumulative mortality for CRC was 6.8 per 1000 (95% CI, 5.9 to 7.6) and 16.0 per 1000 (95% CI, 13.1 to 18.9), respectively. The risk of dying of CRC among non-compliers was 103% higher than among compliers (adjusted HR, 2.03; 95% CI, 1.68 to 2.44). CONCLUSION: The excess risk of CRC death among those not completing colonoscopy after a positive faecal occult blood test should prompt screening programmes to adopt effective interventions to increase compliance in this high-risk population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Programmatic colorectal cancer (CRC) screening increases uptake, but the design and resources utilized for such models are not well known. We characterized program components and participation at each step in a large program that used mailed fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) with opportunistic colonoscopy. METHODS: Mixed-methods with site visits and retrospective cohort analysis of 51-75-year-old adults during 2017 in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California integrated health system. RESULTS: Among 1,023,415 screening-eligible individuals, 405,963 (40%) were up to date with screening at baseline, and 507,401 of the 617,452 not up-to-date were mailed a FIT kit. Of the entire cohort (n = 1,023,415), 206,481 (20%) completed FIT within 28 days of mailing, another 61,644 (6%) after a robocall at week 4, and 40,438 others (4%) after a mailed reminder letter at week 6. There were over 800,000 medical record screening alerts generated and about 295,000 FIT kits distributed during patient office visits. About 100,000 FIT kits were ordered during direct-to-patient calls by medical assistants and 111,377 people (11%) completed FIT outside of the automated outreach period. Another 13,560 (1.3%) completed a colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, or fecal occult blood test unrelated to FIT. Cumulatively, 839,463 (82%) of those eligible were up to date with screening at the end of the year and 12,091 of 14,450 patients (83.7%) with positive FIT had diagnostic colonoscopy. CONCLUSIONS: The >82% screening participation achieved in this program resulted from a combination of prior endoscopy (40%), large initial response to mailed FIT kits (20%), followed by smaller responses to automated reminders (10%) and personal contact (12%).

RESUMO

Hematuria is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Its diagnostic spectrum is wide: urinary tract infection, lithiasis, malignant tumor and nephropathy. In the absence of one of these causes, the nutcracker syndrome must be evoked. It results from compression of the left renal vein between the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. Knowing how to diagnose it can avoid morbid consequences (chronic renal disease, renal vein thrombosis). In addition to hematuria, its main symptoms are left lumbago, varicoceles, and orthostatic proteinuria. The clinical picture and complementary examinations (ultrasound-doppler, computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and phlebography) generally allow the diagnosis to be made. Treatment varies according to age and severity of symptoms.


L'hématurie est fréquemment rencontrée en pratique clinique. Son spectre diagnostique est large : infection urinaire, lithiase, tumeur maligne et néphropathie. En l'absence de l'une de ces causes, le syndrome du casse-noisette doit être évoqué. Il résulte de la compression de la veine rénale gauche entre l'aorte abdominale et l'artère mésentérique supérieure. Savoir le diagnostiquer permet d'éviter des conséquences morbides (maladie rénale chronique, thrombose veineuse rénale). Outre l'hématurie, ses principaux symptômes sont la lombalgie gauche, les varicocèles et la protéinurie orthostatique. Le tableau clinique et les examens complémentaires (échographie-doppler, angioscanner, angio-IRM et phlébographie) permettent généralement de poser le diagnostic. Le traitement varie en fonction de l'âge et de la sévérité des symptômes.

RESUMO

Decision aids (DAs) help patients participate in healthcare decisions by improving knowledge and clarifying values and preferences, thus favoring a more active role in the decision process. DAs exist as a physical support (paper, DVD, audio) or computerized formats. They can be used independently by patients before and after consultations, or with a health professional during consultations. Unisanté has created a DA for use during consultations presenting available smoking cessation aids (www.howtoquit.ch). A local study showed that the DA is considered easy to use and useful by the doctors interviewed. The use of DAs in addictions to other substances, in conjunction with shared decision making, shows a favourable effect on the involvement of patients in their health and therapeutic adherence.


Les outils d'aide à la décision (AD) soutiennent les patient-e-s dans leurs choix médicaux en majorant leurs connaissances et en clarifiant leurs valeurs et préférences, ce qui leur permet de s'impliquer dans le processus décisionnel. Les AD existent en tant que supports physiques (papier, DVD) ou informatiques. Ils peuvent être utilisés par les patient-e-s avant/après la consultation ou avec le-la professionnel-le de santé durant la consultation. Unisanté a créé un AD présentant les aides à l'arrêt du tabac durant la consultation. Une étude locale a montré que l'usage de celui-ci a été jugé simple et utile par les médecins. L'utilisation d'AD dans les addictions à d'autres substances, renforcée par des entretiens de décision partagée, montre un effet favorable sur l'implication des patient-e-s et sur l'adhésion thérapeutique.

RESUMO

For multiple reasons, certain socially disadvantaged populations are more affected by colorectal cancer but have lower screening rates than wealthier populations. The Vaud colorectal cancer screening program (CCR) provides a 20-page decision support tool for the 50-69-year-old population. Three new tools have now been designed specifically for citizens with a low level of health literacy: a simplified 6-page leaflet presenting the choice of a Fecal Occult Blood Test (FIT) and colonoscopy; a 2-page leaflet presenting the detection and screening of 4 common cancers; and a short video presenting the FIT test. By adapting our approach to each individual's level of health literacy, we can ensure a shared decision for all.


Pour des raisons multiples, certaines populations en situation de vulnérabilité sont davantage touchées par le cancer colorectal (CCR) mais ont des taux de dépistage plus bas que les populations plus aisées. Le programme de dépistage du CCR vaudois adresse un outil d'aide à la décision de 20 pages à la population de 50 à 69 ans. Trois nouveaux outils ont été conçus spécifiquement pour les citoyen-ne-s avec un faible niveau de littératie en santé: un dépliant simplifié de 6 pages présentant le choix d'un test immunologique de recherche de sang occulte dans les selles (FIT) et de coloscopie; un dépliant de 2 pages présentant la détection et le dépistage de 4 cancers fréquents; et une courte vidéo présentant le test FIT. En adaptant notre approche au niveau de littératie en santé, nous pouvons favoriser une décision partagée pour tous et toutes.

RESUMO

Risk is a well-known concept in medicine and in epidemiology and its approach intend to be rational and measurable. Risk measurement makes it possible to communicate with a patient or a population the risk of occurrence of an event. However, it is often difficult to estimate accurately the probability of occurrence of an adverse event and there is therefore uncertainty. In addition, the notion of risk is not easy to grasp for most people. The same risk can be perceived very differently from one individual to another and this perception and understanding depends on psychological, social, cultural, historical and political factors. Understanding this social dimension of risk in clinical practice or in public health is essential to implement efficient risk management.


La notion de risque est bien connue en médecine et en épidémiologie et son approche se veut rationnelle et mesurable. Cette mesure du risque permet de communiquer à un patient ou à une population le risque de survenue d'un événement. Mais il est souvent difficile d'estimer avec précision la probabilité de survenue d'un événement et il existe donc de l'incertitude. De plus, la notion de risque n'est pas facile à appréhender pour la plupart des personnes. Un même risque pourra être perçu très différemment d'un individu à l'autre et ces perception et compréhension des risques dépendent de facteurs psychologiques, sociaux, culturels, historiques et politiques. Bien comprendre cette dimension sociale du risque est essentiel pour appréhender une gestion des risques, que ce soit en clinique ou en santé publique.

RESUMO

Psychotherapy diminishes depression relapses when antidepressants are reduced or stopped. Delayed antibiotic therapy is effective and safe while treating community-acquired respiratory infection. Physical rehabilitation after hospitalization due to acute cardiac decompensation is useful in frail patients. Six hours of sleep appears to be associated with a higher risk of dementia in people aged 50-70 years. Patients modify healthcare use after losing their referring physician. Screening for atrial fibrillation in healthy patients aged 65 or older is not beneficial. Physicians' ECG reading skills decrease in the absence of regular training. Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 are often clinically, psychologically, and economically impacted.


La psychothérapie diminue les rechutes de dépression lors de la réduction ou de l'arrêt des antidépresseurs. En cas d'infection respiratoire communautaire, l'antibiothérapie retardée est efficace et sûre. La réadaptation physique après une décompensation cardiaque aiguë est utile chez les patients fragiles. Un sommeil de 6 heures semble être associé à un risque plus élevé de démence chez les personnes de 50 à 70 ans. Les patients modifient le recours aux soins de santé après la cessation d'activité de leur médecin référent. La recherche de fibrillation auriculaire chez les patients de 65 ans ou plus en bonne santé n'est pas bénéfique. Les compétences médicales de lecture d'ECG diminuent en l'absence de formation régulière. Les patients hospitalisés pour un Covid-19 sont souvent impactés aux niveaux clinique, psychologique et économique.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The impact of the Choosing Wisely (CW) campaign is debated as recommendations alone may not modify physician behavior. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess whether behavioral interventions with physician assessment and feedback during quality circles (QCs) could reduce low-value services. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: Pre-post quality improvement intervention with a parallel comparison group involving outpatients followed in a Swiss-managed care network, including 700 general physicians (GPs) and 150,000 adult patients. INTERVENTIONS: Interventions included performance feedback about low-value activities and comparison with peers during QCs. We assessed individual physician behavior and healthcare use from laboratory and insurance claims files between August 1, 2016, and October 31, 2018. MAIN MEASURES: Main outcomes were the change in prescription of three low-value services 6 months before and 6 months after each intervention: measurement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prescription rates of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and statins. KEY RESULTS: Among primary care practices, a QC intervention with physician feedback and peer comparison resulted in lower rates of PPI prescription (pre-post mean prescriptions per GP 25.5 ± 23.7 vs 22.9 ± 21.4, p value<0.01; coefficient of variation (Cov) 93.0% vs 91.0%, p=0.49), PSA measurement (6.5 ± 8.7 vs 5.3 ± 6.9 tests per GP, p<0.01; Cov 133.5% vs 130.7%, p=0.84), as well as statins (6.1 ± 6.8 vs 5.6 ± 5.4 prescriptions per GP, p<0.01; Cov 111.5% vs 96.4%, p=0.21). Changes in prescription of low-value services among GPs who did not attend QCs were not statistically significant over this time period. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrate a modest but statistically significant effect of QCs with educative feedback in reducing low-value services in outpatients with low impact on coefficient of variation. Limiting overuse in medicine is very challenging and dedicated discussion and real-time review of actionable data may help.

RESUMO

Clusters of COVID-19 cases emerged during the months of December 2020 and January 2021 in the Vaud Alps. This epidemiological situation was worrying, as it appeared before a winter holiday period. In view of this epidemiological risk, the cantonal authorities decided to carry out mass screening in three communes from 5 to 13 February 2021 in addition to the standard measures in place. Seeing an opportunity to create innovative university teaching, Unisanté set up a new course for medical students of the University of Lausanne called Community Medical Practice. This immersion in the practice of public health enabled some thirty students to carry out several activities (clinical, research and epidemiological) in a unique pandemic context.


L'émergence de clusters de cas de Covid-19 a été constatée de décembre 2020 à janvier 2021 dans les Alpes vaudoises. Cette situation épidémiologique est devenue préoccupante, puisqu'elle est apparue avant une période de vacances hivernales. Face à ce risque épidémiologique, les autorités cantonales ont décidé d'effectuer un dépistage de masse, du 5 au 13 février 2021, dans trois communes en complément des mesures en vigueur. Voyant l'occasion de créer un exercice pédagogique novateur, Unisanté a mis en place un nouvel enseignement destiné aux étudiant·e·s de médecine de l'université de Lausanne, nommé Pratique médicale communautaire. Cette immersion dans la pratique de santé publique a permis à une trentaine d'étudiant·e·s d'exercer plusieurs activités (cliniques, de recherche et épidémiologiques) dans un contexte unique de pandémie.

RESUMO

Primary care physicians are in an excellent position to address smoking during routine consultations. To this end, physicians have assessment tools and brief interventions appropriate for the duration of consultations. However, these tools are difficult to use consistently in practice. Mobile applications (apps) aimed at stopping smoking could help solve this problem, provided they meet certain quality criteria. This article provides criteria for evaluating these apps to facilitate their identification and use by clinicians. Five French-speaking apps are described. If integrated into routine Primary Care, these apps could facilitate smoking cessation.


Le médecin de premier recours a une place privilégiée pour aborder le problème du tabagisme en consultation de routine. Il dispose, à cet effet, d'outils d'évaluations et d'interventions brèves compatibles avec le temps de consultation. Ces outils sont difficiles à implémenter systématiquement. Les applications mobiles (apps) visant à l'arrêt du tabac pourraient contribuer à résoudre ce problème pour autant qu'elles satisfassent à certains critères de qualité. Le présent article propose des critères d'évaluation de ces apps pour faciliter leur identification et leur utilisation par le clinicien. Cinq apps francophones sont décrites. Intégrées à la consultation de médecine générale, de telles apps, pourraient faciliter la désaccoutumance au tabac.

RESUMO

While several modelling studies suggest mass testing for SARS-CoV-2 could be effective, real-world attempts at implementation have not been sufficient to evaluate its contribution to controlling the pandemic. To slow the spread of the virus, a mass-testing campaign would need frequent testing over a prolonged period with high rates of participation, all while maintaining public health measures. Screening seems more useful for targeted populations or high-risk events (businesses, teaching facilities, public or private institutions, sporting or cultural events). With their low cost and rapid results, rapid tests should be favored for these interventions.


Bien que des modélisations de dépistage de masse pour le SARS-CoV-2 suggèrent une certaine efficacité, leur réalisation en pratique n'a, à ce jour, pas été confirmée et leur potentiel impact en termes de contrôle sur la pandémie reste à démontrer. Pour espérer endiguer la propagation du virus, il faut réaliser un dépistage fréquent, sur une période prolongée, et atteindre un taux de participation très élevé, cela tout en maintenant les mesures sanitaires. Le dépistage semble toutefois envisageable s'il est ciblé sur une population ou un événement à risque (entreprises, lieux de formation, établissements publics ou privés, manifestations sportives ou culturelles). De par leur faible coût et leur rendu rapide du résultat, les tests rapides sont à favoriser pour de telles stratégies interventionnelles de dépistage.

RESUMO

Doctors learn different communication approaches for use during prevention consultations to promote healthy habits, so as to set up a partnership and to promote patient autonomy. Three of these approaches are shared decision making, when there is more than one reasonable choice, motivational interviewing, principally for behaviour change and therapeutic education, a pedagogical approach helping patients develop skills so that they may have a better management of their chronic illness. This article presents an overview of the commonalities and the differences between these approaches, often considered separately, nevertheless they are complementary and in practice, using elements of all three during a consultation could improve preventative care.


Les médecins apprennent différentes approches de communication utilisées lors des consultations de prévention afin de promouvoir des comportements sains, créer un partenariat avec le patient et favoriser son autonomie. Trois des approches les plus courantes sont : la décision partagée lorsqu'il y a plus d'un choix raisonnable, l'entretien motivationnel pour le changement de comportement et l'éducation thérapeutique, une approche pédagogique visant le développement de compétence des patients pour une gestion optimale des maladies chroniques. Nous présentons ici une vision d'ensemble des similarités et des différences entre ces approches, car, souvent considérées en silos, elles sont néanmoins complémentaires et, en pratique, utiliser des éléments tirés des trois durant une consultation pourrait améliorer la prise en charge.
