The F-ESAS is a valid and reliable tool for measuring multidimensional symptoms in French-speaking patients with an advanced cancer. All forms of F-ESAS performed well with a trend for better psychometric performance for F-ESAS-NU, but patients preferred the F-ESAS-VE.
Les recommandations pratiques (RP) pour l'antalgie dans les services médico-chirurgicaux des Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG) ont été développées de façon systématique et interdisciplinaire. Les RP représentent un outil d'amélioration de la qualité des soins. Nous montrons de quelle manière le réseau douleur des HUG a décidé de faire face à l'évolution croissante des concepts en matière de prise en charge de la douleur. Ceci alors que les risques liés aux transferts des patients entre les services cliniques, aux spécificités des pratiques, ainsi qu'au besoin d'individualisation des soins n'ont jamais été aussi grands.
Pain management in adult medico-surgical wards : practical guidelinesGuidelines for pain management in the medical and surgical departments of the Geneva University Hospitals (GUH) have been systematically developed using a multidisciplinary approach. These guidelines are aimed towards improving healthcare quality. We point to the ways the pain network of the GUH has elected to deal with the ever-increasing progression of concepts regarding pain management. This is of importance at a time when the risks related to the patients' transitions between the different departments, to the specificities of the clinical practices, and to the need for personalized care have never been so high.
