Rôles joués par les infirmières pivots en oncologie pour accroître durant la phase diagnostique la responsabilisation des adultes atteints d’un cancer du poumon durant la phase diagnostique
But : Le but de cette étude était d’explorer les rôles joués par les infirmières pivots en oncologie (IPO) pour accroître la responsabilisation des adultes atteints d’un cancer du poumon durant la phase diagnostique des soins oncologiques. Devis : Une étude descriptive qualitative a été utilisée. Les données proviennent d’entrevues individuelles avec des patients et d’un groupe de discussion formé d’IPO. Résultats : Huit personnes ont participé : quatre (4) adultes atteints d’un cancer du poumon et quatre (4) infirmières pivots en oncologie. Les thèmes liés aux fonctions cliniques des rôles joués par l’IPO pour accroître la responsabilisation des patients identifiés ont été : la représentation du patient (s’en faire le porte-parole), le soutien éducationnel, la gestion personnalisée des symptômes, et l’intervention pivot. Conclusion : Les IPO occupent un poste clé leur permettant d’adapter leur pratique aux besoins émotionnels et aux soins de soutien requis pour promouvoir la responsabilisation des patients et de leur famille. Mots-clés : infirmières pivots, responsabilisation des patients, cancer, phase diagnostique

Rôle des infirmières pivots en oncologie pour assurer la continuité des soins offerts aux adultes durant la phase diagnostique du cancer du poumon
But : Le but de cette étude était d’explorer le rôle joué par les infirmières pivots en oncologie (IPO) pour soutenir la continuité des soins offerts aux adultes atteints d’un cancer du poumon pendant la phase diagnostique du cancer. Devis de l’étude : On a eu recours à une approche phénoménologique, à des entrevues semi-structurées auprès de patients et à un groupe de discussion formé d’infirmières pivots en oncologie. Résultats : Huit personnes ont participé : quatre patients adultes atteints du cancer du poumon et quatre infirmières pivots en oncologie. Les thèmes suivants ont été dégagés relativement aux fonctions organisationnelles jouées par l’IPO en vue de soutenir la continuité des soins : soins centrés sur le patient, évaluation des besoins, prise de décision partagée, accessibilité et élimination des obstacles. Conclusion : La prise de conscience des fonctions organisationnelles associées au rôle d’IPO pourrait permettre la création de domaines d’exercices dans les modules de formation en soins infirmiers, et ainsi assurer la dispensation de soins continus, uniformes et centrés sur le patient. Mots clés : infirmières pivots, continuité des soins, cancer, phase diagnostique

Health Beliefs and Practices of African Immigrants in Canada
A purposive sample of 14 immigrants living in Ontario, Canada, participated in two focus groups. The researchers used semi-structured interviews to collect data and five themes emerged from the data: beliefs about diabetes were centered on diverse factors, preserving culture through food preferences and preparation, cultural practices to stay healthy, cultural practices determined number of servings of fruit and vegetables per day, and engaging in physical activity to stay healthy. Findings indicated how health beliefs and cultural practices influenced behavior in preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D). Future research should focus on other high-risk minority groups (South Asian, Caribbean, and Latin American) to examine their health beliefs and cultural practices and use these finding to develop best practice guidelines, which should be incorporated into culturally tailored interventions.

Exploring Health Beliefs and Practices of Caribbean Immigrants in Ontario to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes
This qualitative study explored the beliefs held by adult Caribbean immigrants regarding type 2 diabetes (T2D) and their practices in preventing it. A purposive sample of 15 immigrants living in Ontario, Canada participated in the study. Semistructured interviews were used to collect data from participants. Four themes emerged from the data: beliefs that protect participants from developing T2D, cultural practices to stay healthy, preserving culture through preparation of meals, and cultural practices determine number of servings of fruit and vegetables per day. Findings indicate how beliefs and cultural practices influence prevention of T2D and the need to design culturally tailored interventions for ethnic groups. Future research should explore health beliefs and cultural practices of other high-risk groups and use their findings to design and evaluate culturally tailored interventions to prevent T2D.

Team Preceptorship Model: A Solution for Students' Clinical Experience
There is a shortage of registered nurses in developed countries, and this shortage is due to the aging nursing workforce, demand for healthcare services, and shortage of nursing professors to teach students. In order to increase the number of clinical placements for nursing students, the authors developed and implemented a collaborative preceptorship model between a Canadian University and Public Health Department to facilitate the clinical experiences of Bachelor of Science of Nursing (BScN) students. This paper describes the Team Preceptorship Model which guided the clinical experience of nine students and 14 preceptors. It also highlights the model's evaluation, strengths, and limitations.

Influence of Nurse Characteristics on the Acquisition of Cultural Competence
This study examined how nurses' personal and professional characteristics influenced their response to an educational intervention to improve their cultural knowledge and cultural competence. A one-group repeated measures design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention, which 76 public health nurses (PHNs) attended. Regression analysis showed that nurses with fewer years of nursing experience and higher level of education had a weak association with increased cultural knowledge and cultural competence but learning style and age were not associated with the outcomes.
