Au printemps 2020, le confinement provoqué par la COVID-19 a conduit à la fermeture des établissements scolaires français, au maintien à domicile des acteurs scolaires et à la mise en place d’une continuité pédagogique. Dès lors et soudainement, de nombreux enseignants ont eu à maintenir leur activité professionnelle via les Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication (TIC) tout en gérant simultanément leur vie privée. C’est dans ce contexte que l’enquête intitulée « Expériences et Ressentis du Confinement et de la Continuité Pédagogique » (ERCCP) a été menée. La présente étude qui en découle avait pour objectif de questionner l’activité enseignante médiatisée par les TIC ainsi que le lien entre ces outils et la santé au travail. En appui sur un corpus qualitatif recueilli auprès de 394 enseignants, les analyses mettent notamment en exergue : l’expérience fréquente de la juxtaposition d’outils numériques sans mise en cohérence préliminaire, la nécessité de faire appel à sa propre subjectivité pour gérer un quotidien professionnel inédit, les inégalités matérielles et techniques pour mener à bien la continuité pédagogique ou encore l’émergence de risques psychosociaux face à cette situation singulière. In the spring of 2020, the lockdown provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of French schools, the home maintenance of school actors and the implementation of pedagogical continuity. From then on and suddenly, many teachers had to maintain their work via Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) while simultaneously managing their private lives. It is in this context that the survey entitled "Experiences and Feelings of Confinement and Pedagogical Continuity" (ERCCP) was conducted. The aim of the present study (which is part of ERCCP) was to question the teaching activity mediated by ICTs as well as the link between these tools and occupational health. Based on a qualitative corpus collected from 394 teachers, the analyses highlight in particular: the frequent experience of juxtaposing digital tools without any preliminary consistency, the need to call upon one's own subjectivity to manage an unprecedented daily professional life, the material and technical inequalities to achieve education continuity, and the emergence of psychosocial risks in the face of this singular situation.

International audience; BACKGROUND: The management of older cancer patients has been highly challenging for clinicians in a health-care system operating at maximum capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed data from 9 different institutions. The primary endpoint was to assess the prevalence of adapted patient care during the pandemic for elderly cancer patients. The secondary endpoint was to assess the incidence of hospitalization and mortality due to COVID-19. All patients were older than 65years of age. RESULTS: We analyzed data from 332 outpatients’ case files between 9th of March and 30th of April 2020. The median age was 75years (range: 65-101) and 53% were male. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than half of the outpatients received modified patient care, defined as postponement or cancellation of surgery, irradiation scheme adapted, systemic treatment or the use of telemedicine. Among patients with localized cancer, 60% had a change in management strategy due to the pandemic. Changes in management strategy were made for 53% of patients at the metastatic stage. GCSF was used , in 83% of patients, increasing considerably in the context of the pandemic. Sixty-nine percent of physicians used telemedicine. In the final analysis, only one patient was hospitalized for COVID-19 infection. No deaths due to COVID-19 were reported in elderly cancer patients during this time period. CONCLUSION: Our study is the first to assess modification of patient care in elderly cancer outpatients during an epidemic. With this unprecedented crisis, our objective is to protect our patients from infection via protective barrier measures and social distancing, but also to guarantee the continuity of cancer care without overexposing this fragile population. Physicians were able to adapt their practice and used new forms of management, like telemedicine.
