Le Workshop Les rites funéraires de Méditerranée : actualisation des découvertes et perspectives d'analyses croisées s'est déroulé à l'Université de Corse les 3 et 4 Avril 2019. Il s'agit de mettre en place un réseau de chercheurs permettant d'échanger et de réactualiser les connaissances autour de l'anthropologie de la Méditerranée. De fait, l'étude du patrimoine archéologique de l'île permet de mettre en évidence des pratiques communes à la fois aux territoires insulaires et à cette zone particulière liant Orient et Occident.
Les dernières découvertes archéologiques ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives de recherches et demandent une analyse croisée actant une réactualisation des connaissances relatives aux rites funéraires. De même, le rapport à la mort, exprimé notamment dans la gestion des défunts et le deuil, évolue tout en conservant des traces évidentes d'un fonctionnement archaïque. Il a donc paru nécessaire de provoquer une confrontation de ces données nouvelles.

An interprofessional conference that addressed basic palliative care knowledge and skills was implemented annually at a large, academic healthcare institution. The conference significantly influenced participant's self-perceived competencies in the delivery of quality palliative care. This conference led to a sustainable program of palliative care initiatives consisting of a yearly workshop for nurses focused on palliative care core competencies and a biennial interprofessional conference designed to facilitate networking and address significant topics in palliative care.
The 2nd Uganda Conference on Cancer and Palliative Care was held in September 2019 in Kampala, Uganda under the theme: Towards Universal Coverage. It was hosted by the Uganda Cancer Institute and the Palliative Care Association of Uganda (PCAU). The conference brought together 350 delegates from eight countries. Key themes from the conference included: universal health coverage (UHC), service provision and public health; resources for achieving UHC; capacity building; human rights and engagement on the implementation of the recommendations made by the Uganda Human Rights Commission; provision of cancer and palliative care to 'hard to reach' and 'vulnerable' groups; paediatrics; health promotion and prevention; policy and advocacy and digital technology. The conference also gave opportunity to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the work of PCAU, with a celebration dinner attended by the Minister of Health. The past few years have seen significant developments in both cancer and palliative care in Uganda, and this was evident in the presentations, and the way that provision has changed and improved since the first cancer and palliative care conference in 2017. Emphasis on UHC, along with the support of government and other stakeholders, is important in the ongoing development of cancer and palliative care services in Uganda.
Cruse Bereavement Care is marking its 60th year with events throughout 2019. In July the anniversary conference Bereavement Care – Past Present and Future hosted an international line-up of speakers. Former Cruse CEO Debbie Kerslake hosted the final panel session which looked to the future.
The purpose of this update is to summarize and critique research articles in Hospice and Palliative Care from 2018 that are pertinent and impactful in informing clinical practice. The articles were presented at the 2019 Annual Assembly of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (AAHPM) and the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (HPNA). Eight original research articles published between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2018, were identified through a systematic PubMed search using the terms "hospice" and "palliative care," a hand search of 22 leading healthcare journals, and discussion with experts in the field. The final articles were chosen based on each study's methodological quality, its ability to be applied across different care settings, and its ability to impact clinical practice. We summarize the eight articles that were chosen and identify ways the articles can be used to inform clinical practice.
Palliative care is an approach meant to improve the quality of life of patients facing life-threatening illness and to support their families. An international workshop on palliative care took place in Caesarea, Israel under the auspices of the National Institute for Health Policy Research on July 4-5th, 2018, with the goal of discussing challenges to the development and integration of palliative care services in Israel. At the workshop, both national and international figures in the field of palliative care and health policy addressed several issues, including truth telling, religious approaches to end of life care, palliative care in the community, pediatric palliative care, Israel's Dying Patient Act, the Ministry of Health's National Plan for palliative care, and challenges in using advance directives. We summarize the topics addressed, challenges highlighted, and directions for further advancement of palliative care in the future, emphasizing the critical role of the Ministry of Health in providing a framework for development of palliative care.
AIM: The aim of this position paper is to assist primary health care (PHC) providers, policymakers, and researchers by discussing the current context in which palliative health care functions within PHC in Europe. The position paper gives examples for improvements to palliative care models from studies and international discussions at European Forum for Primary Care (EFPC) workshops and conferences.
BACKGROUND: Palliative care is a holistic approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing problems associated with terminal illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and diligent assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, whether physical, psychosocial, or spiritual. Unfortunately, some Europeans, unless they have cancer, still do not have access to generalist or specialist palliative care.
METHODS: A draft of this position paper was distributed electronically through the EFPC network in 2015, 2016, and 2017. Active collaboration with the representatives of the International Primary Palliative Care Network was established from the very beginning and more recently with the EAPC Primary Care Reference Group. Barriers, opportunities, and examples of good and bad practices were discussed at workshops focusing on palliative care at the international conferences of Southeastern European countries in Ljubljana (2015) and Budva (2017), at regular conferences in Amsterdam (2015) and Riga (2016), at the WONCA Europe conferences in Istanbul (2015), Copenhagen (2016), and Prague (2017), and at the EAPC conference in Madrid (2017).
FINDINGS: There is great diversity in the extent and type of palliative care provided in primary care by European countries. Primary care teams (PCTs) are well placed to encourage timely palliative care. We collected examples from different countries. We found numerous barriers influencing PCTs in preparing care plans with patients. We identified many facilitators to improve the organization of palliative care.
Quelle curieuse idée d’avoir choisi "ces corps meurtris, regards croisés", comme thème de conférence pour une journée organisée par l’ASP fondatrice, association de bénévoles en soins palliatifs. Nous, bénévoles d’accompagnement, formés pour aller au "cœur à cœur" et non au "corps à corps", nous n’intervenons pas ou pratiquement pas sur les soins physiques : d’abord l’écoute, en option le toucher et le regard, comme ultime moyen de communication et d’accompagnement, voilà le mot d’ordre. Comme le dit Le Petit Prince : "l’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux, on ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur".
Cet article se veut une occasion de parler de la relève en recherche en soins palliatifs et de fin de vie (SPFV). Il décrit la première journée scientifique étudiante organisée par le comité étudiant du Réseau québécois de recherche en soins palliatifs et de fin de vie (RQSPAL), qui a eu lieu le 15 mars dernier à Québec. Nous vous présentons d'abord notre comité et son mandat. Cela permettra de décrire les motivations entourant la création et l'organisation de cette première journée scientifique étudiante. Nous brosserons ensuite un portrait des différentes activités planifiées au cours de cette journée et des champs d'intérêts portés par la relève. Une réflexion amorcée lors de cette journée scientifique et poursuivie par le comité étudiant sur certians thèmes abordés lors d'une table ronde avec des experts en SPFV sera également partagée. Finalement, nous concluerons en vous présentant le bilan de cette première journée scientifique du comité étudiant et en vous lançant une invitation.
End-of-life (EOL) care conferences have an important role in promoting EOL care in nursing homes. However, the details of the conferences remain poorly understood. A Japanese prefecture-wide survey was conducted to investigate the factors involved in such conferences that contribute to an increase in the amount of EOL care. One hundred fifty-three nursing homes performed the conferences. The outcome was the amount of EOL care provided in nursing homes after adjusting for the facility beds in 2014. We investigated the factors of staff experience with EOL care, frequency of the conferences, years the conferences were conducted, review conferences after EOL care, and professional participants in the conferences. The multivariate analysis revealed significant associations between EOL care in nursing homes and nurses' experience with EOL care (adjusted ß coefficient 2.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.52 ~ 5.22, p = 0.017), more than 5 years of continuous conferences (adjusted ß coefficient 3.8, 95% CI 0.46 ~ 7.05, p = 0.026), and family participation (adjusted ßcoefficient 4.0, 95% CI 7.5 ~ 0.48, p = 0.026). In conclusion, the continuation of conferences and enrollment of the nurse with experience in EOL care may promote EOL care in nursing homes, while family enrollment in conferences may decrease EOL care in nursing homes. EOL care conferences in nursing homes should be continuously performed by staff, with an experienced nurse undertaking the task of information sharing before discussing EOL care with the patients' families.
Foreword Hospice UK's annual conference is the national hospice and palliative care charity's flagship event, bringing together everyone involved in leading hospice, palliative and end-of-life care for adults, children and young people. In 2018, the conference spanned two days and was held at the International Centre in Telford, Shropshire. Its theme was Transforming Palliative Care and it provided a unique forum for delegates to discuss current and forthcoming issues facing the hospice and palliative care community, and to discover new ways of thinking from outside of the sector. Packed with stimulating plenary and parallel sessions, and opportunities to network with peers and meet major providers of services and products, the conference combined high-level strategic thinking, application into practice and lessons from real-world examples. More than 800 delegates from across the hospice voluntary sector, the NHS and academia attended the conference. They included a wide cross-section of people from the hospice and palliative care sector, such as chief executives, trustees, clinical directors, nurses and doctors, as well as senior staff working in income generation, communication, operations and HR. Leaders of NHS hospices, hospitals and other care providers also attended the event.
En octobre dernier, j'ai eu le privilège de coanimer la XVIe édition du Colloque Yves Quenneville, qui se déroulait dans ma région natale, le Bas-Saint-Laurent. Dans l'optique de bien s'ancrer dans la thématique de la journée, Les soins palliatifs aujourd'hui : les défis de la cohabitation, et de bien illustrer ce qui est entendu par ce concept de cohabitation, j'ai eu envie de raconter mon histoire, de raconter ma rencontre avec les soins palliatifs ; une rencontre inattendue, surprenante dans ma vie. Une rencontre qui m'a donné le vertige, mais qui m'a surtout transformée, à tous points de vue. Une histoire où cette cohabitation dont il est question a pris de multiples dimensions dans mon parcours. Voici donc le texte que j'ai écrit pour cette occasion et que j'ai partagé aux participants en guise d'introduction à cette journée d'échanges.
