La conciliation des sphères de vie des cadres. Études de cas

This research is aimed to study managers’ professional as well as personal activities in the theoretical perspective of the Activity System. We focused on managers’ population because of the specificity of their relationship to time at work, and the uncertain boundaries they establish between professional and personal life. This leads to a complex relationship between life's boundaries. The triangulation of three methods (self-observations, interviews based on those self-observations, Activity System Inventories) gives access to useful and complementary data, and allows us to carry out four thorough case studies (three women are 38, 46 and 51 years old, one man is 38 years old). The results emphasize the multiple determinants which coexist in each individual, the different ways to manage one's life activities, and finally additional prospects on further studies.     

Une comparaison des apports des modèles de la construction de la carrière et de la construction de soi au life designing counseling

Recent developments in Western societies and transformations in work organizations have made the vocational issues that people face more frequent, complex, and puzzling. With the individualization of the life course, people now more than ever before need to reflect and deliberate as they design their lives. To assist individuals cope with difficult issues in life-designing, counselors have devised a new approach to counselling dialogues that differs from traditional information and guidance interventions. This article briefly presents the theoretical model for life designing counseling and then compares two distinct life-designing intervention approaches. Both of them share the epistemology of social constructivism and concentrate on the client and counselor's co-construction of meaning. Each approach provides a rigorous and systematic foundation for counselling interviews yet they differ in the ways they tackle meaning-making. The major difference is that the first approach presents a highly-structured form of life-designing interview that highlights the counselor's role in reconstructing a client's meanings, identity, and intentions. In contrast, the second approach presents a form of life-designing interview that highlights the client's role in self-construction of meaning, identities, and future prospects.     

Antropotecnias fin de siècle: la subjetividad decadente de Jean Floressas des Esseintes

Resumen

Considerada por muchos como la biblia del decadentismo, la novela À rebours (Al revés, A contrapelo o Contra natura, que de esas tres formas se ha traducido) publicada por Joris-Karl Huysmans en 1884, no sólo recoge numerosos tópicos del fin de siècle artístico y cultural, sino que además describe todo un conjunto de técnicas que su protagonista, el duque Jean Floressas des Esseintes, va desarrollando minuciosamente para cultivar su propio yo estetizando hasta el extremo su vida y su entorno. Des Esseintes se hace con una vivienda en la que retirarse del mundo dedicándose al goce estético individual. Todos los detalles decorativos y los objetos de la casa tienen un propósito relacionado con el cultivo de la subjetividad. La vida entera del personaje gira en torno a la producción de experiencias estéticas y emocionales refinadas. Para ello pone en práctica diversas tecnologías del yo que no sólo afectan a su casa, sino también a su alimentación, su indumentaria y sus actividades cotidianas. Esto es algo típico de los dandis del siglo XIX, quienes concebían su modo de vida como una disciplina del cuerpo y del alma, una auténtica ascesis. El personaje de Huysmans es representativo de una figura de la subjetividad propia de la Europa finisecular. Define uno de los innumerables perfiles que ha adquirido la subjetividad humana a lo largo de su historiogénesis. En este artículo nos proponemos analizar las tecnologías del yo empleadas por Des Esseintes poniéndolas en relación con su contexto sociocultural y con los nuevos saberes y prácticas psicológicas de la época.     

Les remèdes du droit aux souffrances de la personne malade

Can law eliminate suffering? For a long time, the suffering has been only compensated. Indeed, the compensation of the physical and moral sufferings was allowed. But can law remove suffering? In fact, the French national law provides humans and technical means so as to eliminate pains. Now the law states that people's suffering justifies medical care and treatments.     

La protection des données personnelles des patients face à la modernisation de notre système de santé

With the Internet and the artificial intelligence, the collection of personal data is becoming a strategic element for the digital economy. The collection of information touching the health or the body must respect the patients’ rights. The GDPR came into effect on May 25th, 2018. The healthcare professionals who are established in a Member state, must be careful because they can base their exercise on clinical or biological elements of their patients.     

Perception des conditions de travail et perspectives professionnelles chez les enseignants des collèges en Tunisie

This study examines the impact of organizational work conditions on the mental health of secondary school teachers in Tunisia. It aims to understand teachers’ specific problems on the basis of their professional representations of the profession in order to identify the sources of their malaise at work. To conduct our research, Self-report questionnaires were completed by 34 teachers, aged 30 to 58 years, from different secondary schools. The thematic analysis highlights a bond between constraints perception related to working conditions and the negative evaluations of work situations and teaching profession as a whole. Professional experience reveals suffering and discomfort, they can lead to reconsidering future prospects.     

L’évaluation cognitive de la lecture au collège : synthèse des principaux outils de dépistage et de diagnostic des troubles spécifiques de la lecture et cognitifs associés

As reported by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA, 2012), almost 20% of French teenagers show difficulties in reading (OCDE, 2014). What are the French language tools the practitioner or educationalist (teacher, school doctor, psychologist, and speech-language pathologist) use to assess specific reading disorders for middle school students? The tools assessing reading comprehension skills, word-level reading skills and reading-related skills are presented by distinguishing the tools developed for screening of reading difficulties (the purpose of which is to detect early disease or risk factors for disease in large numbers of apparently healthy individuals) than them developed for diagnosing of reading difficulties (the purpose of which is to establish the presence [or absence] of disease as a basis for treatment decisions in symptomatic or screen positive individuals). This synthesis allows to identify their interests and limits, and to consider new tools respecting five essential criteria: (1) the tool structure must be based on recent theoretical models specific at the middle school, (2) the tool must assess reading comprehension skills (with control of listening comprehension skills) and the mastery of two word-level reading procedures (lexical and sublexical), (3) the tool must measure a set of reading-related skills such as phonological awareness, phonological short-term memory, rapid serial naming and morphological awareness, (4) the experimental material (vocabulary control) and the standardization must be recent or updated and (5) the speed must be measured accurately.     

L’évaluation du risque et des besoins criminogènes à la lumière des données probantes : une étude de validation de la version française de l’inventaire de niveau de service et de gestion des cas – LS/CMI

IntroductionInstruments of the LS family are among the world's most widely used risk assessment instruments.ObjectiveThis study is testing the psychometric properties of the French version of the Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (LS/CMI; Andrews, Bonta, & Wormith, 2004).MethodReliability and predictive validity of the scales, as well as the total scale are tested on a sample of 3682 offenders (301 women and 3381 men) serving a sentence of less than two years.ResultsResults indicate psychometric properties consistent with the English version. Internal consistency, exploratory factor analysis, and predictive validity are good.ConclusionThe current French version of the LS/CMI is a reliable and valid instrument to assess risk for recidivism, and is a solid foundation to support correctional treatment implementation.     

La Direction des affaires juridiques et des droits des patients de l’AP–HP et la première vague de la pandémie Covid-19

To facilitate the analysis and the management of claims related to the last Covid-19 pandemic, the DAJ of the AP–HP constituted a medical group assisted by lawyers intending to review the scientific knowledge and organizational measures during the first wave of this pandemic. This group brought together medical doctors with both scientific expertise in the main specialties requested during this viral infection and knowledge of repairing bodily damage. Based on the data provided by the hospital dashboards and the collection of hospital procedures for Covid-19 and non-Covid-19 patients, the goal of this group was to assess the level of scientific knowledge and organizational measures respectively at the start of the epidemic, its peak and at the end. During the three periods of this pandemic the main changes observed included a greater selectivity on admissions with increasing consideration on the patient's comorbidity; a continual evolution in drug management and more rigorous isolation measures with interruption of visiting rights. The target was to prevent contamination of the non-infected persons with an obsession to protect healthcare workers. The absence of selection for patients requiring intensive care for compensation of their respiratory failure forced AP–HP to double the number of intensive care beds and to refer some patients in other regions. In a context of unstable scientific knowledge and evolving organizational measures, the collection of these data should facilitate the management of claims related to Covid19 during the first wave of this pandemic and open a prospective study for the next pandemic.

L’épuisement professionnel des enseignants en début de carrière

In the literature on the professional integration of teachers burnout is often invoked to at least partially explain the high percentage of those quitting the profession after a five-year practice or less. Teachers’ burnout implies emotional distress, viewing pupils as « things » (instead of as human beings), and being unsure of one’s teaching abilities. While this not always leads to quit teaching, victims of burnout can hardly escape pessimism and cynicism about their profession. This paper is made up of two parts: 1) a discussion of teachers’ burnout; 2) some suggestions for keeping teachers on the job.

Usage des technologies numériques et modèles de la perméabilité des frontières entre la vie personnelle et la vie professionnelle

This study examines the determinants of porous borders personal and professional borders related to the use of information and communication technology (ICT). A mixed methodology that combines both a qualitative approach based on an exploratory interviews and a quantitative phase based on an online survey was followed to collect the data. The main findings of this study are: first, the permeability of personal (average score: 3.56) and professional (average score: 3.67) boundaries is experienced by most individuals. Second, the permeability is accelerated by the ICT use (70.9 % of respondents use the Internet at home for business purposes, 63.5 % use it at work for personal needs). Third, individuals manage differently this permeability by developing strategies based on their ICT use. These strategies go beyond the continuum “segmentation-integration”. There are four models: segmentation, spillover, integration and hybridization.     

Interactions entre règles sociales de santé publique : étude des liens entre le port du masque et les règles routières en temps de crise sanitaire

IntroductionThe health crisis that France has experienced since the beginning of 2020 has justified the introduction of new health rules requiring changes in behaviour. The context of the implementation of these health rules, instituted very recently and for a limited period of time, raises the question of their perception and respect among the population.ObjectiveMobilising the social developmental psychology, the objective of this article is to explore inter-individual differences in the perception of these health rules measured through the wearing of masks. It aims also at studying the links between these perceptions with the experience of the health context and the perception of other legal public health rules, apprehended through some road safety rules.MethodThe questionnaire survey, carried out during the second confinement with a representative sample of 4999 people, made it possible to measure the experience of the health context, the internalisation of the rules and their justifications, the usefulness of the rules and the perception of the legal system.ResultsThe results show the links between internalisation, the type of arguments used to justify it for wearing a mask and for road rules respectively, as well as the links between internalisation and the perception of the legal system. They also show that women use moral and prudential arguments more to justify their internalisation of rules and that they have internalised the traffic rules (but not the wearing of masks) more than men.ConclusionThese results show that the perception of the rule of wearing a mask is more related to the general perception that individuals have of the legal system and other legal public health rules involving the relationship with others than to the context in which these rules were put in place.
