La Place de l’Infirmière dans la Juste Prescription des Antibiotiques en Etablissements d’Hébergement des Personnes Agées Dépendantes (EHPAD)
No full textReducing overall antibiotic consumption is a major public health issue in order to avoid the emergence of resistant bacterial strains. Among the people most exposed to antibiotics are the elderly, some of whom live in long term care facilities for dependent elderly people (LTCF). The nurse is the first responder in case of suspected infections in the LTCF. Could it therefore have a place in the prescription of antibiotics and support the reduction of consumption? What could be the role of residents and/or their families in any use of antibiotics?The ATOUM program, which includes six studies, is a multimodal intervention program focused on training caregivers in LTCF. It aims at the one hand to understand the place of the nurse in prescribing, describe the role of residents and their families; and on the other hand to contribute to the development of nurses' skills, to be able to play an essential role in reducing inappropriate prescribing of antibiotic.The studies carried out show that the nurse has an essential role in the care of the elderly person in the event of suspicion of an infection. The competent nurse could have different roles in antibiotic prescribing. In addition, it appears that inter-professional collaboration requires both theoretical and professional skills on the part of the nurse. However, the nurse's participation in the prescribing decision, for a better prescription based on inter-professional collaboration, is influenced by different determinants.The different competencies for the nurse are essential to further enhance her role in the effective management of treatment and antibiotic therapy.La réduction de la consommation globale d’antibiotique s’impose comme un enjeu fort de santé publique afin d’éviter l’apparition de souches bactériennes résistantes. Parmi les personnes les plus exposées aux antibiotiques, on compte les personnes âgées dont certains résidents en Etablissements d’Hébergement des Personnes Âgées Dépendantes (EHPAD). L’infirmière est la première intervenante en cas de suspicion d’infections dans les EHPAD. Dès lors pourrait-elle donc avoir une place dans la prescription des antibiotiques et soutenir la réduction de la consommation ? Quel pourrait être le rôle des résidents et /ou de leurs familles dans le moindre recours aux antibiotiques ? Le programme ATOUM, qui compte six études, se veut un programme d'intervention multimodal axé sur la formation des soignants en EHPAD. Il ambitionne d’une part de comprendre la place de l’infirmière dans la prescription, de décrire le rôle des résidents et de leurs familles ; et de contribuer d’autre part au développement des compétences des infirmières, pour qu’elle soit capable de jouer un rôle essentiel dans la diminution de la prescription inappropriée d'antibiotique. Les études réalisées dans le cadre de ce programme montrent que l’infirmière a un rôle essentiel dans la prise en charge de la personne âgée en cas de suspicion d’une infection. Cependant, la place de l’infirmière dans la gestion efficace des traitements et de l’antibiothérapie requiert des compétences théoriques et professionnelles bien définies, permettant à l’infirmière d’établir une collaboration interprofessionnelle dans le but d’une meilleure prescription
The Nurse’s Role in the Right Prescription of Antibiotics in Geriatric Facilities

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
