Évaluation d’une intervention infirmière basée sur une approche caring et cognitive comportementale sur l’acceptation d’un défibrillateur cardiaque implantable

Charchalis, Mélanie 08 1900 (has links)
Le taux de mortalité chez les patients à risque d’arythmies cardiaques menaçantes à la vie a été considérablement réduit grâce au défibrillateur cardiaque implantable (DCI). Toutefois, des préoccupations uniques face au DCI, y compris les chocs que l’appareil peut déclencher, sont susceptibles de provoquer des symptômes d'anxiété et une limitation perçue des activités chez les porteurs de DCI. Ces réactions émotives et modifications de comportement peuvent affecter l’acceptation du patient envers le DCI. Cette étude pilote randomisée avec groupe contrôle (n=15 /groupe) visait à examiner la faisabilité et l'acceptabilité d'une intervention infirmière individualisée de même que ses effets préliminaires sur l’anxiété, le fonctionnement dans les activités de la vie quotidienne et l’acceptation du DCI auprès de nouveaux porteurs de DCI. L'intervention infirmière, basée sur la théorie du Human Caring et teintée d’une approche cognitive comportementale, ciblait les préoccupations individuelles face au DCI. À partir des préoccupations identifiées, l’infirmière intervenait en mettant l'accent sur les croyances contraignantes du patient, qui pouvaient mener à de l’anxiété et des comportements d'évitement. Après randomisation, les patients du groupe intervention (GI) ont participé à un premier entretien en face-à-face avant le congé hospitalier. Subséquemment, deux entretiens se sont faits par téléphone, à environ 7 et 14 jours suite au congé hospitalier. Les résultats soutiennent la faisabilité et l’acceptabilité du devis de l’étude et de l’intervention évaluée. De plus, ils soulignent le potentiel de l’intervention à diminuer les sentiments anxieux chez les participants du GI. Les résultats de cette étude pilote offrent des pistes de recherches futures et permettront de guider la pratique clinique. / Patients with an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) decrease their risk of mortality related to life threatening arrhythmias. However, multiple concerns about this device exist, including ICD shocks, which may result in increased anxiety and a perceived limitation in performing everyday activities. These emotional reactions and behavioral changes may have a negative impact on the acceptance of the device. The purpose of this randomized pilot study with a group control (n=15 / group), was to verify the feasibility and acceptability of an individualized nursing intervention aiming to decrease anxiety, improve performance in everyday activities and device acceptance in patients with newly implanted ICDs. Based on Human Caring theory and a cognitive behavioral approach, this intervention addressed each patient’s unique concerns. From the identified concerns, the nurse intervened focussing on the patient’s dysfunctional beliefs that can lead to anxiety and avoidance behavior. After randomization, the first encounter for the experimental group (EG) was face-to-face before hospital discharge. Subsequently, two encounters were made via telephone, 7 and 14 days after discharge. The results support the feasibility and acceptability of the study design and the intervention evaluated. In addition, they emphasize the potential of the intervention to reduce symptoms of anxiety among the participants of the EG. The results of this pilot study may provide directions for future research and help guide clinical practice.

Développement et évaluation d'une intervention infirmière virtuelle sur mesure visant à faciliter l'autogestion de la douleur après une chirurgie cardiaque

Martorella, Géraldine 05 1900 (has links)
Plusieurs études ont démontré que prés de deux tiers des patients subissant une chirurgie cardiaque souffrent de douleur d’intensité modérée à sévère. Ces niveaux de douleur semblent être partiellement expliqués par la présence de barrières individuelles face au soulagement de la douleur. Le savoir acquis sur les cognitions associées à la douleur ne semble pas avoir été traduit dans de nouvelles approches éducatives face à la douleur aiguë. Le but du projet doctoral était 1) de développer une intervention visant à faciliter l’autogestion de la douleur postopératoire après une chirurgie cardiaque et, 2) d’en évaluer l’acceptabilité et la faisabilité, ainsi que le potentiel d’efficacité sur le soulagement de la douleur de patients subissant une chirurgie cardiaque. Le développement de l’iintervention SOULAGE-TAVIE a inclus quatre étapes fondées sur les savoirs clinique, empirique et théorique et inspirées de plusieurs écrits méthodologiques. SOULAGE-TAVIE consiste en une session préopératoire éducative sur la gestion de la douleur post-chirurgie cardiaque d’approximativement 30 minutes sur un ordinateur, dispensée sur mesure en fonction d’un algorithme. Deux renforcements cliniques en personne sont aussi offerts en phase postopératoire. L’évaluation de l’intervention consistait en un essai clinique pilote à répartition aléatoire incluant 60 participants répartis entre le groupe expérimental (GE : SOULAGE-TAVIE) et le groupe contrôle (GC : soins usuels incluant un feuillet d’information). Les données étaient recueillies au moment de l’admission et dans les sept jours postopératoires. SOULAGE-TAVIE a été jugée comme acceptable et faisable. De plus, les participants du GE n’ont pas expérimenté une douleur de plus faible intensité mais ils ont rapporté significativement moins d’interférence de la douleur avec la toux et la respiration profonde, ont démontré moins de barrières face à la gestion de la douleur et ont consommé plus d’opiacés. Cette étude pilote procure des résultats prometteurs sur les bénéfices potentiels de cette nouvelle approche sur mesure utilisant les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC). L’autonomisation des personnes est cruciale et complémentaire pour soutenir le soulagement de la douleur dans le contexte actuel de soins. / Several studies have shown that many patients undergoing a cardiac surgery suffer from moderate to severe pain. These levels of pain may be explained by individual barriers toward pain relief. Knowledge acquired on pain-related cognitions has not been translated into new approaches. The aim of the doctoral project was 1) to develop an intervention to facilitate the self-management of postoperative pain after cardiac surgery and, 2) to assess its the acceptability and feasibility and to investigate its efficacy potential on pain relief in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The development of SOULAGE-TAVIE included four steps based on clinical, empirical and theoretical knowledge and inspired by diverse methodological considerations. SOULAGE-TAVIE consists in a 30-minute computer-tailored preoperative educational session about postoperative pain management, tailored according to an algorithm. Two short reinforcements are provided in person. The evaluation of SOULAGE-TAVIE consisted in a pilot randomized controlled trial including 60 participants assigned to the experimental group (EG: SOULAGE-TAVIE) and the control group (CG: usual care including educational pamphlet). Data were collected at the time of admission and across Day 1 to 7 after surgery. The results provide preliminary support for the acceptability and feasibility of a tailored and virtual intervention. The results revealed that patients of the EG did not experience less intense pain but they reported significantly less pain interference when breathing/coughing, exhibited fewer pain-related barriers, and consumed more opioid medication. This pilot study provides promising results to support the potential benefits of this new web-tailored approach. Patient empowerment is complementary yet crucial in the current context of care and may contribute to improve pain relief.

Three step modelling approach for the simulation of industrial scale pervaporation modules

Schiffmann, Patrick 21 August 2014 (has links) (PDF)
The separation of aqueous and organic mixtures with thermal separation processes is an important and challenging task in the chemical industry. Rising prices for energy, stricter environmental regulations and the increasing demand for high purity chemicals are the main driving forces to find alternative solutions to common separation technologies such as distillation and absorption. These are mostly too energy consumptive and can show limited separation performance, especially when applied to close boiling or azeotropic mixtures. Pervaporation can overcome these thermodynamic limitations and requires less energy because only the separated components need to be evaporated. This separation technology is already well established for the production of anhydrous solvents, but not yet widely distributed in the chemical and petrochemical industry due to some crucial challenges, which are still to overcome. Besides the need of high selective membranes, the development of membrane modules adapted to the specific requirements of organoselective pervaporation needs more research effort. Furthermore, only few modelling and simulation tools are available, which hinders the distribution of this process in industrial scale. In this work, these issues are addressed in a combined approach. In close collaboration with our cooperation partners, a novel membrane module for organophilic pervaporation is developed. A novel technology to manufacture high selective polymeric pervaporation membranes is applied to produce a membrane for an industrially relevant organic-organic separation task. A three step modelling approach ranging from a shortcut and a discrete to a rigorous model is developed and implemented in a user interface. A hydrophilic and an organophilic membrane are characterised for the separation of a 2-butanol/water mixture in a wide range of feed temperature and feed concentration in order to establish a generally valid description of the membrane performances. This approach is implemented in the three developed models to simulate the novel membrane module in industrial scale. The simulations are compared to the results of pilot scale experiments conducted with the novel membrane module. Good agreement between simulated and experimental values is reached.

Visualisera energi i hushåll : Avdomesticeringen av sociotekniska system och individ- respektive artefaktbunden energianvändning / Visualizing Energy in Households : the De-domestication of Socio-Technical Systems and Individual- as well as Artefact-bound Energy Use

Löfström, Erica January 2008 (has links)
Ett centralt problem i strävan efter att minska energianvändningen i hushåll genom beteendeförändringar är att energi till stora delar är en osynlig produkt. Avhandlingen strävar efter att utveckla kunskap som kan bidra till mer hållbar utveckling genom att analysera tre företeelser som på ett konkret sätt synliggör energi och energirelaterat beteende: ett lokalt värmesystem, en s.k. Power Aware Cord och en dagboksmetod. Hur människor förstår sin energianvändning analyseras med hjälp av en modifierad version av den domesticeringsteori som utvecklats av Silverstone et al (1992). I centrum står paradoxen att de visualiserande företeelserna riskerar att själva osynliggöras genom att de domesticeras. Värmesystemet har haft en bristande funktion, vilket har varit den faktor som mest effektivt visualiserat systemet. Solfångarnas visuella dominans i områdets arkitektur har bidragit till att medvetandegöra solen som energikälla. Ett teknikrum och olika experter har också medvetandegjort själva värmesystemets existens. Såväl systemet som helhet som hushållens egen del i detta har visualiserats. Power Aware Cord liknar en vanlig grendosa, men den visar elanvändningen (effekten) hos den utrustning som kopplas till den. Energin visualiseras med hjälp av ett blått ljus i sladden vars intensitet anpassas efter watttalet som passerar genom sladden. Power Aware Cords styrka ligger i att den bidrar till att apparaters energianvändning visualiseras. Tidsdagboken visualiserar hushållsmedlemmarnas vardagliga aktiviteter på ett bredare plan än enbart i relation till energianvändning. Analysen visar att den redan osynliga resursen energi, som blivit än mer osynliggjort genom domesticering, kan avdomesticeras genom olika former för visualisering. Visualiseringsformerna riskerar dock att själva domesticeras. För att dessa ska ha varaktig effekt behövs strategier för att undvika detta. / One problem in promoting sustainable energy use is that energy is taken for granted. Energy as resource needs to be made visible. This dissertation aims to develop knowledge that can contribute to more sustainable development by analyzing different ways to visualize domestic energy systems. Three different forms of visualization are analyzed: a locally situated heating-system, the Power Aware Cord, and a diary method. How people understand their energy use is analyzed using a modified version of domestication theory as developed by Silverstone et al. (1992). Another focus is the paradox that forms of visualization themselves risk becoming invisible by virtue of being domesticated. The heating system still does not function as intended, and the non-functioning of the heating system has been the most effective means of visualizing the system. The solar collectors are visible and are a dominant element of the area’s architecture; this has helped visualize, make people aware of, and confer an understanding of the sun as an energy source. A technical control room and technicians have also helped visualize the existence of the heating system. The system as a whole, and the households’ own parts of it, has been visualized. The Power Aware Cord is the general shape of an extendable power strip, with the additional integration of voltage-measuring electronics and electroluminescent wire. This additional wire contains a phosphor layer that glows when an altering current is introduced. The cords’ strength lies in visualizing the household energy use of particular electrical devices. The time diary method visualizes the household members’ individual and inter-related ctivity patterns in a broader, more general way. The analysis shows that the already invisible resource energy, which has been made doubly invisible through domestication, can be de-domesticated through the domestication of forms of visualization. At the same time, the forms of visualization themselves risk being made invisible by being domesticated; for forms of visualization to have any lasting effect, strategies for avoiding this must be developed.

QV: the quad winged, energy efficient, six degree of freedom capable micro aerial vehicle

Ratti, Jayant 21 April 2011 (has links)
The conventional Mini and Large scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicle systems span anywhere from approximately 12 inches to 12 feet; endowing them with larger propulsion systems, batteries/fuel-tanks, which in turn provide ample power reserves for long-endurance flights, powerful actuators, on-board avionics, wireless telemetry etc. The limitations thus imposed become apparent when shifting to Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) and trying to equip them with equal or near-equal flight endurance, processing, sensing and communication capabilities, as their larger scale cousins. The conventional MAV as outlined by The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is a vehicle that can have a maximum dimension of 6 inches and weighs no more than 100 grams. Under these tight constraints, the footprint, weight and power reserves available to on-board avionics and actuators is drastically reduced; the flight time and payload capability of MAVs take a massive plummet in keeping with these stringent size constraints. However, the demand for micro flying robots is increasing rapidly. The applications that have emerged over the years for MAVs include search&rescue operations for trapped victims in natural disaster succumbed urban areas; search&reconnaissance in biological, radiation, natural disaster/hazard succumbed/prone areas; patrolling&securing home/office/building premises/urban areas. VTOL capable rotary and fixed wing flying vehicles do not scale down to micro sized levels, owing to the severe loss in aerodynamic efficiency associated with low Reynolds number physics on conventional airfoils; whereas, present state of the art in flapping wing designs lack in one or more of the minimum qualities required from an MAV: Appreciable flight time, appreciable payload capacity for on-board sensors/telemetry and 6DoF hovering/VTOL performance. This PhD. work is directed towards overcoming these limitations. Firstly, this PhD thesis presents the advent of a novel Quad-Wing MAV configuration (called the QV). The Four-Wing configuration is capable of performing all 6DoF flight maneuvers including VTOL. The thesis presents the design, conception, simulation study and finally hardware design/development of the MAV. Secondly, this PhD thesis proves and demonstrates significant improvement in on-board Energy-Harvesting resulting in increased flight times and payload capacities of the order of even 200%-400% and more. Thirdly, this PhD thesis defines a new actuation principle called, Fixed Frequency, Variable Amplitude (FiFVA). It is demonstrated that by the use of passive elastic members on wing joints, a further significant increase in energy efficiency and consequently reduction in input power requirements is observed. An actuation efficiency increase of over 100% in many cases is possible. The natural evolution of actuation development led to invention of two novel actuation systems to illustrate the FiFVA actuation principle and consequently show energy savings and flapping efficiency improvement. Lastly, but not in the least, the PhD thesis presents supplementary work in the design, development of two novel Micro Architecture and Control (MARC) avionics platforms (autopilots) for the application of demonstrating flight control and communication capability on-board the Four-Wing Flapping prototype. The design of a novel passive feathering mechanism aimed to improve lift/thrust performance of flapping motion is also presented.

Dubbel socialisation : En studie om lärarassistenters första tid i ett pilotprojekt

Gravås, Rebecka, Geijstedt, Jannica January 2018 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med kunskap om lärarassistenters första tid i Uppsala kommuns pilotprojekt. Med utgångspunkt i vad som kallas resursteori har två forskningsfrågor ställts; 1) På vilket sätt har interna och externa resurser bidragit till lärarassistenternas socialisationsprocess? 2) Vilka konsekvenser får lärarassistenternas socialisationsprocess när den sker inom ramen för ett pilotprojekt? Genom semistrukturerade intervjuer studeras specifikt hur åtta projektanställda lärarassistenter i Uppsala kommun upplevt den första tiden som anställda och vilka resurser som varit betydande för deras socialisation. Resultatet visar att den första tiden i projektet varit försiktig och trevande, något som beskrivs som både positivt och negativt i form av mjukstart och trögstart. Å ena sidan främjas relationsutveckling av mjukstarten men å andra sidan hämmar trögstarten anpassningen till arbetet. Den negativa sidan visar dels hur viktigt det är att arbetsverktyg är klara och redo att användas när den nyanställde introduceras till det nya arbetet då det annars kan skapa negativa upplevelser och bidra till oro. Resultaten visar även en ömsesidighet i pilotprojektet där ingen riktigt visste vad lärarassistentrollen skulle innehålla, och därmed blev det en ny situation för samtliga parter att förhålla sig till. Det övergripande resultatet visade, genom ovan nämnda teman, att pilotprojektet utifrån ett socialisationsperspektiv präglades av en dubbel socialisation. / The purpose of this paper is to study the teacher assistants initial period in the pilot project of municipality of Uppsala. Based on resources theory as a theoretical framework two research questions were asked; 1) In what way have internal and external resources contributed to the socialization process of teacher assistants? and 2) What consequences does the pilot project have on the teacher assistants socialization process? Semistructured interviews were used to ask eight teacher assistants employed in the pilot project about how they experienced the first time in the new workplace and what resources were important for their socialization. The result shows that the initial period of the employment was cautious and tentative, which was described as both positive and negative in terms of a soft start or a tardy start. On one hand the soft start promotes relationship development, but on the other hand the tardy start inhibits adaptation to work. The negative side shows how important it is that work tools are ready to be used when the new employee is introduced to the new work, otherwise it can create negative experiences. The results also show that the pilot project was characterized by a reciprocity where nobody really knew what the teacher assistant role would contain, and thus it became a new situation for all parties to relate to. Through these themes, the overall results shows that the pilot project from a socialization perspective was characterized by a double socialization.

Revêtements architecturés de Ti, TiN et TiO élaborés par pulvérisation cathodique au défilé sur des fils en acier inoxydable : relation entre la composition chimique, la microstructure et les propriétés d'usage / Architectured Ti-based coatings grown by PVD on moving stainless steel wires : relationship between chemical composition, microstructure and properties

Grosso, Stéphane 17 November 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse porte sur la fonctionnalisation de fils en acier inoxydable via des revêtements colorés base titane, élaborés par pulvérisation cathodique avec un magnétron cylindrique. Ce travail s’intéresse à la caractérisation chimique, morpho-structurale et à l’évaluation de la durabilité mécano-chimique des fils revêtus.Premièrement, la vitesse de dépôt et la composition chimique des films sont déterminées dans des conditions statiques. Les hétérogénéités du plasma dans la cathode sont démontrées et reliées aux paramètres tels que la puissance, la pression et la polarisation d’anodes auxiliaires.Les dépôts monocouches de Ti, TiN et TiOx sont ensuite élaborés en continu. La relation entre la couleur du TiN et sa composition chimique est établie. La couleur dorée est obtenue pour des films stœchiométriques contenant peu d’oxygène (< 5 %at.). Les microstructures sont caractérisées par MET-ASTAR et des cartographies d’orientation sont dressées à l’échelle nanométrique. Tandis que les dépôts de TiN sont colonnaires avec une texturation selon <111>, les grains des films de Ti sont plutôt équiaxes et orientés selon <0001>. Pour une température d’élaboration de 650 °C, les éléments du substrat diffusent dans les films et mènent à la formation de phases de Laves. Les dépôts de TiOx, élaborés en mode métallique, présentent des couleurs d’interférence et une composition proche du monoxyde. Les surfaces revêtues de TiN ont une résistance à la corrosion élevée semblable à l’acier inoxydable 316L, contrairement aux fils revêtus de Ti et TiOx. La ténacité et l’énergie d’adhérence des revêtements sont déterminées par traction in-situ sous MEB : Ti et TiN sont particulièrement adhérents au substrat contrairement à TiOx.Enfin, les dépôts sont architecturés avec l’ajout d’un dépôt de titane entre le substrat et le revêtement céramique. Ainsi, l’adhérence du film Ti-TiOx est largement augmentée par rapport au monocouche TiOx (5 à 200 J/m2). Enfin, les études microstructurales et électrochimiques montrent qu’un paramètre clef de la résistance à la corrosion est la présence de porosité ouverte dans les revêtements. / This thesis treats of the functionalization of stainless steel wires with colored Ti-based coatings, grown by PVD with a cylindrical magnetron, their chemical and morpho-structural characterization, and the evaluation of the chemico-mechanical durability of the coated wires.First, the deposition rate and the chemical composition of the films are determined under static conditions. Cathode plasma heterogeneities are demonstrated and related to parameters such as power, pressure and polarization of auxiliary anodes.Then, Ti, TiN and TiOx monolayer coatings are grown continuously. The relationship between the color of TiN and its chemical composition is established and golden color is obtained for stoichiometric films with low oxygen content (<5% at.). Microstructures are studied with TEM-ASTAR and orientation maps are obtained with a nanometric resolution. While TiN coatings are columnar with <111> texture, Ti grains are rather equiaxed and <0001> oriented. With a 650 ° C substrate temperature, substrate elements diffuse into the films which results in Laves phase formation. TiOx is grown in metallic mode, presents interference colors and a composition close to monoxide. TiN coated surfaces display high corrosion resistance similar to 316L stainless steel, unlike Ti and TiOx coated wires. The toughness and the adhesion energy of the coatings are determined by SEM in-situ tensile tests: Ti and TiN are particularly adherent to the substrate in contrast to TiOx.Finally, coatings are architectured with the addition of a titanium interlayer between the substrate and the ceramic coating. Thus, Ti-TiOx film adhesion is greatly superior compared to the TiOx monolayer (5 to 200 J/m2). Finally, microstructural and electrochemical studies show that a key parameter of corrosion resistance is the presence of open porosity in the coatings.
