Feasibility and acceptability of a personalised primary prevention strategy for women and men at high risk of breast and prostate cancer: the 3PC study protocol for a pilot randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Several primary prevention strategies, including chemoprevention, prophylactic surgery and lifestyle modifications, have been shown to reduce the risk of breast cancer (BC) and prostate cancer (Pca). However, the uptake of these preventive measures is considered suboptimal, limiting their impact on cancer prevention. A personalised primary prevention strategy has yet to be tested for cancer prevention.

Quality of life in men after total cystoprostatectomy: Perceptions of Tunisian patients.

Introduction: Total cystoprostatectomy (TCP) causes many changes in the postoperative quality of life leading to psychological, physical, social and sexual repercussions that are difficult to manage.

Methods: A descriptive quantitative study was conducted with 40 cystoprostatectomized men.

[Factors of reporting adverse events in a Tunisian hospital.].

Introduction: We wish to integrate an adverse events reporting system in a Tunisian University Hospital. However, before the implantation of this system, it is important to identify the factors that may influence the reporting, so it is primordial to conduct a study which aims to determine influencing factors of adverse events reporting according to the perception of health care professionals.

Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between July and September 2014, using a questionnaire which was developed in the light of Reason’s works on safety culture (1990; 1997), and the Pffeifer, Manser and Wahner (2010) model of influencing factors of adverse events reporting.

Is quality of life a suitable measure of patient decision aid effectiveness? Sub-analysis of a Cochrane systematic review.

Purpose: Patient decision-aids (PtDAs) help patients make informed treatment decisions incorporating their values. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is sometimes an outcome of PtDA effectiveness trials, but its suitability for this purpose is unclear. We sought to provide insights into this question by critically appraising how randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating PtDA effectiveness measure and report HRQOL.

Barriers to and facilitators for using a risk assessment tool to prevent violent behaviour in patients with mental health conditions: Perspectives of health care providers.

Purpose: To evaluate health care providers' use of a violence risk assessment tool on a mental health unit and the facilitators for and barriers to its use.
