Depuis 2008, un regroupement international soutient la promotion d’une meilleure reponse aux besoins fondamentaux des personnes soignees. Ce regroupement propose un cadre sur les fondamentaux des soins. Ce cadre est centre sur la relation entre l’infirmier, la personne soignee et ses proches ainsi que sur la reponse aux besoins physiques, psychosociaux et relationnels. Un processus pratique soutient l’application concrete de ce cadre. Le but de cet article discursif est de presenter la traduction francaise du cadre des fondamentaux des soins et de son processus pratique. Pour commencer, le processus de traduction sera brievement explique. Ensuite, le cadre sur les fondamentaux des soins et les etapes de son processus pratique seront presentes. Afin de permettre une meilleure appropriation du contenu par le lecteur, une illustration clinique presente la situation de M. Perron, atteint d’une maladie d’Alzheimer, et de sa conjointe, qui est sa proche aidante. Enfin, la discussion aborde l’utilite du cadre des fondamentaux des soins et de son processus pratique au niveau des quatre grands axes de la discipline infirmiere, soit la pratique, la gestion, la formation et la recherche. Cet article ouvre la voie au developpement de connaissances sur les fondamentaux des soins au niveau de la francophonie.

Visiting restrictions had to be imposed to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus and ensure the safety of long-term care home (LTCH) residents. This mixed method study aimed to explore residents' and family caregivers' acceptability of electronic tablets used to preserve and promote contact. Semi-structured individual interviews with 13 LTCH residents and 13 family caregivers were done to study their experiences, as well as the challenges and resources encountered in the implementation and use of videoconferencing. They had to rate, on a scale from 0 to 10, each of the 6 Theoretical Framework of Acceptability' constructs of the acceptability of the intervention. The results confirm acceptability of videoconferencing, giving residents and caregivers the opportunity to talk to and see each other during the pandemic. Videoconferencing had some benefits, such as being less expensive, and taking less time and effort for family caregivers.

To investigate and describe the current state of knowledge about Fundamental Care in terms of population, contexts, concepts and gaps.A scoping review.CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO and EMBASE databases were searched in April 2021 for eligible literature, published from January 2010, onwards.This scoping review was built around the recommendations of Peters et al. (2020 version). Two researchers conducted the literature search, and three researchers independently screened the titles and abstracts of the retrieved studies' data, using the eligibility criteria and the review questions as a guide.The search yielded 763 records, of which 107 were included. Results are presented under seven subheadings: (a) Countries and Continents, (b) Context, (c) Research Design, (d) Publishing/Journal, (e) Participants and Population, (f) Keywords and (g) Fundamental of Care Framework and Practice Process. All the retrieved articles describe the current state of knowledge about Fundamental Care in terms of population, contexts, concepts and gaps.This scoping review highlighted the elevated number of articles that have been published since the beginning of the work on Fundamental Care, 10 years ago. The included articles are related to different dimensions of research, practice and teaching and to the Fundamentals of Nursing Care, but also to nursing theory. Finally, most of the articles had a nursing focus.The results of this scoping review allow us to highlight the work from the past 10 years. This may be of interest to learn more about the research surrounding Fundamental Care. This scoping review allows us to better target the theoretical and empirical developments to focus on in the coming years.

Population ageing will lead to an increase in the number of older drivers. The ageing process can affect older adults' driving ability. Nurses can play a major role in identifying potentially at-risk drivers and providing guidance about driving safety and cessation, but their role remains somewhat unknown.This scoping review aims to present the scientific literature in relation to the nursing profession in the field of road safety.CINAHL and PubMed databases were used to identify quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods or clinical practice guideline articles that referred to the role of nurses in older people's road safety and were published in English or French languages between January 1990 and August 2020. Ten (10) articles met the inclusion criteria and were analysed.Analysis of included articles revealed one main theme: Nurses' and NPs' roles in the mobility continuum. Results showed that nurses and nurse practitioners (NPs) often see older drivers in their clinical practice and that they have the competencies to screen and assess their fitness to drive. They are well positioned to discuss age-related changes, fitness to drive and a driving retirement plan with their older patients, but they are not confident when addressing this issue. Few older adults have discussed their driving abilities with healthcare professionals, but they would be willing to discuss this if the subject were brought up.This scoping review highlighted the paucity of research addressing the role of the nurse in road safety. More research is needed to adequately document this role.

A person living with Alzheimer's disease (PA) can experience difficulty during bodily care and therefore may show resistance to care behaviours (RTCBs). Nurses must take a clinical approach to planning care that meets the person's needs. Therefore, it is necessary to identify training strategies for bedside nurses and nursing students. Aims and objectives To describe and discuss how the FOC practice process (FOC-PP) can help nurses understand PAs who show RTCBs during bodily care. Background Resistance to care behaviour phenomenon and the importance of bodily care as fundamental care are described. The FOC-PP enables nurses to apply the FOC framework in their practice. Design This discursive paper is based on the literature of the FOC framework and PP. Method A clinical scenario that develops through the five stages of the FOC-PP. Results The scenario centres on Mrs. Emily Morgan, 81, who lives in a nursing home and is not receiving the bodily care that she needs. Camille, a nursing student, and her supervisor Florence collaborate with Mrs. Morgan's family to improve the quality of her care. Three particular aspects of nursing practice based on the FOC-PP are described: the critical thinking process, relational process and pedagogical process. Conclusion The FOC-PP promotes holistic care centred on the person and his or her needs and encourages the nurse to use his or her skills and knowledge. All these dimensions are fundamental for high-quality nursing care. Relevance to clinical practice Mrs. Morgan's scenario enables us to perceive that the FOC-PP is very useful for nursing students and bedside nurses. However, given the amount of specific and diverse knowledge required by the FOC-PP, it is necessary to identify avenues for teaching them. Using clinical scenarios could facilitate the integration of the FOC-PP, with taking into account the specific characteristics of individual clients.
