Analyse quantitative de la carrière criminelle des internautes effectuant du leurre d’enfants

Objectives: The aim of this paper is to understand the criminal career characteristics of people who are known from the police to have committed child luring on the Internet. Using a taxonomic analysis created with the criminal history of these individuals, it will be possible to establish a typology of people who have lured children online. Ultimately, the variance in characteristics of the criminal background on the commission of offline sexual abuse will also be verified. Methodology: Drawing from official data of Quebec’s police community, the sample includes criminal careers of people having committed the offense of luring children over the Internet. Some descriptive analyses related to the different parameters of the criminal history will be included. Moreover, a mean test and a Cox regression analysis will verify the significance and the predictability of acting out prior and after the act of luring children online based on criminal background. Results: Analyses have shown that the majority of subjects have no criminal record. For many of them, children luring is the most serious crime committed in their criminal career. Three categories of individuals have been identified: amateurs, specialists and generalists. Those who are tempted to commit sexual abuse before luring are the polymorphic subjects with a more serious criminal history. However, those who are considered specialists with a significant proportion of sexual offenses in their career are more likely to commit sexual assault following sexual exploitation on Internet.

Exchange, know-hows, and interpersonal segmentation : an assessment of the archaic component of the Gaudreau (BkEu-8) site, Weedon, Quebec

The Gaudreau site is a disturbed multicomponent site located in Southeastern Quebec, with occupations dating from the Late Paleoindian into the historic period. The Archaic occupations, noted through the presence of multiple diagnostic bifaces forms and macrotools, are the primary subject of this thesis. As no occupations can be isolated horizontally nor vertically, and no non-diagnostic artifacts can be associated with certitude, only a sample of 32 objects were analyzed. As only a small sample of the assemblage was analyzed, it is likely that more raw material source areas were used during the Archaic occupations of the site. Nonetheless, the resulting raw material networks are similar to those of the Megantic Lake region, with a strong representation of Kineo-Traveller rhyolite and Appalachian cherts. Great Lakes cherts are also present, as is Cheshire quartzite. Local silicified mudstone and quartz are weakly represented in the sample, though this is likely an effect of source proximity resulting in the near absence of completed forms made of local raw materials. The technical analysis of the sample, without control for techno-economic practices, denotes many technical recurrences within typological groupings, with no significant and recurring differences between raw materials of different source regions. Due to sample size and to the disturbed context, the significance of objects linked due to similarities in technique is doubtful. Interpersonal segmentation of operational sequences could not be determined, though the evidence appears to point towards the circulation of raw materials in multiple forms. It is to be assumed that, outside of the locally obtained raw materials, the occupants of the Gaudreau may not have had a direct access to any of the exogenous sources.

Le rôle des parents croyants non pratiquants dans l'initiation à la vie chrétienne des enfants de 8 à 12 ans : en complémentarité avec celui des intervenants en paroisse

This action-research emerges from a problem developed from the observation of catechetical practices at St. Joachim parish in the diocese of Montreal. The essence of the project lies in practical theology. The first chapter is the history of catechesis in parishes. The second deploys observing practice from the structural poles and development functions, conducted as part of the pastoral praxeology, but also through the involvement of parents who agreed to respond to a questionnaire. The third raises the problem of the discarding of parents in faith education, and is followed by an interpretation of a change in posture and a call for coeducation in faith while taking into account the evolution of families with regard to the religious. This is done mainly from theological referents, enriched with references from the areas of education and social sciences. Avenues to explore with parents and catechists are then proposed, with an emphasis on the practice of pastoral dialogue and accompaniment, and also by making the link with the various dimensions of Christian life. The last chapter aims to offer a prospective in the transmission of faith by revealing the missionary role of catechesis in harmony with the new evangelization and the pastoral care of families.

Subject response rates in case-control studies of cancer : time trends, study design determinants, and quality of reporting

Objectives: To examine the time trends, study design determinants, and quality of reporting of response rates in published case-control studies of cancer over the past 30 years.  Methods: A review was conducted of case-control studies of cancer. Inclusion criteria required publications in 15 major journals, during four publication periods spanning three decades (1984-86, 1995, 2005 and 2013). 370 studies were selected and reviewed. Information on study base ascertainment, data collection methods, population characteristics, response rates, and reasons for non-participation was extracted. Quality of response rate reporting was assessed based on the amount of information reported. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the quality of the reporting, time trends and the determinants of response rates; linear regression models were used to analyse time trends and determinants of response rates. Results: Overall, the quality of reporting of response rates and reasons for non-participation was very poor, especially for control series. Participation has declined over the past 30 years, and this decline was steeper in studies conducted after 2000. When comparing the response rates in recent studies to that in studies conducted during 1971-1980, there was a greater decline of this rate in population controls (-17.04%, 95% CI:     -23.17%, -10.91%) than in cases (-5.99%, 95% CI: -11.50%, -0.48%). Statistically significant determinants of response rates among cases were: cancer type examined, location of the study population, and mode of data collection. The only statistically significant determinant of response rates among medical source controls was location of the study population.  The only statistically significant determinant of response rates among population controls was type of respondent (self only or self and proxy) accepted by studies. Conclusion: Response rates in case-control studies of cancer seem to have declined and this decline has accelerated in recent studies. In order to appreciate the true level of non-participation and its determinants, as well as the impact of non-participation on validity of studies, there is a need for more transparent reporting and standardized calculation of response rates in published studies.

Des aptamères pour améliorer l’encapsulation et la libération contrôlée des liposomes

Hypothesis : Incorporation in some liposomes of specific aptamers for a drug allowed the obtaining of active encapsulation of that drug and allowed the modification of their drug release profiles, without negatively impacting its therapeutic efficacy.  Methods : A series of aptamers of various affinity were incorporated in the preparation of cationic liposomes. The resulting lipoplexes were characterized for their size by dynamic light scattering method and their surface potential were analysed by zeta potential measurement. Lipoplexes were optimized in terms of highest aptamer complexation and they were incubated with doxorubicin, a model drug that was chosen. The encapsulation efficiency of doxorubicin was compared with and without the presence of aptamers, and with the commercially available active loading method. The best formulations were studied for their doxorubicin’s release kinetic, with the different aptamers, and they were tested for their cytotoxicity on HeLa cancer cells.   Results : Cationic liposomes were optimized to allow a minimum aptamer complexation of 94%. Three out of the four tested aptamers were able to demonstrate active loading capabilities, with up to 85% encapsulation efficiencies. Out of these three formulations, very different release profiles were found, all allowing more initial content release of the commercially-like available doxorubicin’s liposomes (Doxil®). The efficacy of those three formulations on HeLa cancer cells demonstrated equivalent or higher cytotoxicity than the similar standard of Doxil®.

Interventions pour soutenir les infirmières dans l'appropriation de l'évaluation de la condition mentale des adultes avec trouble mental hospitalisés en soins physiques

The assessment of the mental condition is one of the activities reserved to the nurse. Or, nurses carry little or no evaluation of the mental condition of adult clients with mental disorder hospitalized on physical care units, which has consequences for patients, nurses and organizations. The aim of this work is to identify the interventions to put in place to support nurses in the appropriation of the assessment of the mental condition of adult clients with mental disorder hospitalized on physical care units. Underpinned by a humanist-caring perspective and a knowledge translation framework, a review of the literature was conducted. The use of a model of behavior modification facilitated the documentation of barriers and facilitating factors according to nurses' perspective. Nurses relate among others lack knowledge and skills, have a negative attitude towards patients with mental health problems and do not feel supported when caring for these patients. Interventions taking into consideration the barriers and facilitating factors listed, methods for monitoring the use of knowledge, performance indicators to evaluate outcomes and methods to maintain the use of knowledge are proposed.

Démarche d’intégration d’activités éducatives visant le développement de la compétence culturelle dans le cours SOI 2614 – Expérience de fin de vie

To support people from different cultures is a major challenge for health professionals (Bhopal, 2009), since they often have difficulty interpreting the person behavior and attitudes from another culture (Tison & Hervé-Désirat, 2007). According to several authors, the field of end-of-life care is very demanding psychologically for health professionals who have more or less skills to act and respond effectively to the cultural expectations of the person and his family members due to a lack of training or cultural competence (Doorenbos & Myers Schim, 2004; McGee & Johnson, 2014; Saccomano & Abbatiello, 2014). Moreover, this lack of cultural competence can lead to misunderstandings from both: the healthcare professional, the person and his family members (Tison et al., 2007). Thus, training in an intercultural approach to care in context of end of life is one of the answers allowing health professionals, especially nurses who spend most of their time at the bedside to develop a better understanding of cultural needs of the person and his family (Tison & al., 2007; Kirmayer, 2012; Sagar 2014). This Masters Report focuses on the notion of cultural competence developed as part of an end-of-life care course -SOI 2614 conducted among undergraduate nursing students at the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Montreal. It also aims to introduce some educational strategies supporting the development of cultural competence of nursing students.

Modèles organisationnels et compétences infirmières en gestion de lits

Problematic : Bed management is a complex process in each hospital center because of many actors, objectives and needs that make even more difficult an already complicated process. The leader of this process, often times a nurse, coordinates bed management. This person makes use of many specific competencies, such as a nurse in advanced practice. This directed study shows the knowledge state related to different organisational models in bed management as well as the required competencies of nurses, as shown in the literature. More specifically, the objectives are to identify and analyse organisational models of bed management, to identify the required competencies and evaluate the added value of advance pratice of nurses. Method : The pinpointing of articles was done using grey literature and the following data bases : Pubmed, Embase, Embase reviews, Cinahl et Medline. A total of 43 articles were chosen and analysed based on S. Simard’s reading guideline on the basis of two reference books (Davies, Coutu-Walkulczyk et Logan, 2011; Law et coll., n.d.).  Results : The literature allowed us to discover four bed management models. Analyses of these different models allowed us to conclude that Proudlove’ model is the best one. Research also underlined many nurse competencies specific to bed management including leadership and partnership. An analysis enabled us to cross competencies in the literature with a university repository of competencies in advanced practice in nursing Conclusion : This work proposes an organisational recommendation to optimize bed management in hospital centers. We propose an embryonic conceptual framework to focus future research on nurse competencies in bed management.

Perceptions et croyances relatives à l’hygiène des mains chez les infirmières de deux hôpitaux de la République démocratique du Congo

This study aimed to document perceptions and beliefs about hand hygiene among nurses from two hospitals in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The PRECEDE-PROCEED model guided the work and helped focus the analysis on predisposing factors and facilitating factors which could favor the adoption of health behaviors. The estimate used is of a correlational descriptive kind. A convenience sample including 74 nurses recruited from the two hospitals was used. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire composed of 34 questions, drawn from tools identified in the literature. The questions focused on knowledge and perceptions with regard to hand hygiene, as well as access to infrastructure facilitating the adoption of this behavior. Data collection took place in Kinshasa, the capital of the DRC. The results reveal significant gaps in knowledge. Perceptions related to social norms stood out as more favorable. The results also reveal gaps in awareness of facilitating factors, including the use of alcohol-based handrubs. It was also noted that the more educated and experienced nurses were more likely to perceive the importance of hand hygiene practices. The discussion proposes some possible actions to improve hygiene behavior among nurses in developing countries such as the DRC.

Perspective d'étudiantes infirmières de leur environnement d'apprentissage de la pratique en contexte de diversité culturelle lors d'une immersion clinique à l'international

There is a wide diversity in nursing education programs concerning the organization of international clinical immersion curricula and the support offered to students (Kokko, 2011).  Guided by the constructivist cultural competence development model designed by Blanchet Garneau (2013 ; Blanchet Garneau et Pepin, 2015a), this qualitative case study explored the learning environment that promotes the development of nursing practice in culturally diverse contexts through an international clinical immersion. Ten students who had recently undergone international clinical immersion participated in an individual in depth interview. Thematic qualitative data analysis was inspired by Miles, Huberman and Saldana (2014).  Results of this study yield  three interrelated themes: support through multiple collaborations, finding one’s  place in the host environment and gap between the expectations of the students and the lived experience. These themes develop our understanding of learning environments in students’ cultural competence development, particularly with respect to their capacity to open up to different realities of practice in a culturally diverse context.  In summary, this study adds to current knowledge related to cultural competence development and contributes to Blanchet Garneau’s model (2013 ; Blanchet Garneau et Pepin, 2015b).

L’étendue effective de pratique des infirmières oeuvrant en santé mentale et le niveau de formation

The importance of nursing in the health care system, both in terms of accessibility and quality and safety of patient care is well documented. In order to be able to fully exercise their role, nurses must be able to accomplish their full scope of practice. This applies to all nurses, including mental health nurses. However, research shows that nurses are unable to implement all the activities for which they have the training and experience. The aim of this study is to measure the actual scope of mental health nursing practice and to identify the influence of the level of training on this scope of practice. This study is based on the SCOP Model, from Déry et al. (2015), which states that certain job and individual characteristics, such as the level of training, can determine the actual nursing scope of practice. The deployment of this scope of practice can potentially influence professional satisfaction, quality of care and organizational factors such as accessibility, average lengths of stays and costs (Déry et al. 2015). A descriptive correlational design was used for this study. A questionnaire using a Likert scale was completed by nurses (n = 80) from a Quebec mental health Institute. Analysis of variance tests were used. The results show a sub-optimal deployment of the scope of nursing practice (4.24/6; E.T. = 0.63). The scope of practice results is the highest that has been measure with the ASCOP questionnaire. No significant differences were found between nurses with different levels of training F (3, 77) = 0.707, p = 0.551. These results can be explain by the nurses education level, the presence of a representation bias, a lack of statistical power or certain of the work characteristics. The results obtained in this study constitute initial empirical data on the subject. It is the only research measuring mental health nurses’ scope of practice with the ASCOP questionnaire and attempting to know the potential influence of level of training on scope of practice.

Évaluation d’activités de transfert de connaissances auprès d’infirmières pour la détection du délirium post-chirurgie cardiaque

The use of an assessment tool for delirium detection (ATDD) is important to intervene as quickly and as efficiently as possible. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of a knowledge transfer tailored intervention (KT-TI) to optimize the conform use of an ATDD by nurses. The intervention was based on barriers and facilitators to the use of an ATDD. The barriers identified with the questionnaire (n=30) revealed a need for knowledge and an improvement of nursing skills. One of the barriers identified in focus groups (n=4) was the lack of knowledge on delirium causes and specific nursing interventions to favour accordingly. The chosen KT activities were a clinical capsule on delirium manifestations as evaluated by the ATDD, and a pocket sized information card on possible nursing interventions. The rate of conform use of an ATDD was evaluated in pre and post KT intervention (pre-post design) with a review of 242 patient’s medical charts (pre n=121; post n=121). No significant difference was noted between pre and post KT-TI (p > 0.99). An explanation for this resides in the fact that the observed rate of use of an ATDD by nurses was already high (> 85%) in pre KT-TI on two work shifts. The KT intervention based on barriers and facilitators to change was appreciated by nurses and it may have the potential to promote evidence-based practice.
