Etude de validation d'une version francophone du Q-Sort d'attachement de Waters et Deane = A validation study of the french adaptation of Waters and Deane's attachment Q-sort

Ce texte relate l'étude de validation d'une adaptation francophone du Q-Sort d'attachement de Waters et Deane (cette adaptation est présentée dans ce même numéro). Le Q-Sort rempli par les parents ne paraît pas tenir ses promesses de méthode alternative à la Situation étrange pour évaluer la qualité de la relation d'attachement. Cependant, lorsqu'il est rempli par un observateur extérieur, il semble mieux refléter la catégorisation des comportements dans la Situation étrange. Au travers du Q-Sort, les parents semblent décrire davantage le tempérament de l'enfant que la qualité de la relation d'attachement.

Pédiatrie 4. Comment traiter la fièvre de l'enfant en 2013 avec un peu d'évidence [How to treat pediatric fever in 2013 with little evidence-based?].

Treatment of pediatric fever is based on two main molecules, paracetamol and ibuprofen. Fever should be treated when associated with discomfort. The two molecules have almost similar efficacy and safety. Monotherapy should be preferred to a combined or alternating treatment. Antipyretics do not seem to prevent febrile seizures.

Detecting and measuring deprivation in primary care: development, validity and reliability of a self-reported questionnaire - the DiPCare-Q

Background: General practitioners play a central role in taking deprivation into consideration when caring for patients in primary care. Validated questions to identify deprivation in primary-care practices are still lacking. For both clinical and research purposes, this study therefore aims to develop and validate a standardized instrument measuring both material and social deprivation at an individual level. Methods: The Deprivation in Primary Care Questionnaire (DiPCare-Q) was developed using qualitative and quantitative approaches between 2008 and 2011. A systematic review identified 199 questions related to deprivation. Using judgmental item quality, these were reduced to 38 questions. Two focus groups (primary-care physicians, and primary-care researchers), structured interviews (10 laymen), and think aloud interviews (eight cleaning staff) assured face validity. Item response theory analysis was then used to derive the DiPCare-Q index using data obtained from a random sample of 200 patients who were to complete the questionnaire a second time over the phone. For construct and criterion validity, the final 16 questions were administered to a random sample of 1,898 patients attending one of 47 different private primary-care practices in western Switzerland (validation set) along with questions on subjective social status (subjective SES ladder), education, source of income, welfare status, and subjective poverty. Results: Deprivation was defined in three distinct dimensions (table); material deprivation (eight items), social deprivation (five items) and health deprivation (three items). Item consistency was high in both the derivation (KR20 = 0.827) and the validation set (KR20 = 0.778). The DiPCare-Q index was reliable (ICC = 0.847). For construct validity, we showed the DiPCare-Q index to be correlated to patients' estimation of their position on the subjective SES ladder (rs = 0.539). This position was correlated to both material and social deprivation independently suggesting two separate mechanisms enhancing the feeling of deprivation. Conclusion: The DiPCare-Q is a rapid, reliable and validated instrument useful for measuring both material and social deprivation in primary care. Questions from the DiPCare-Q are easy to use when investigating patients' social history and could improve clinicians' ability to detect underlying social distress related to deprivation.

Fievre Q: une zoonose souvent méconnue [Q fever, a zoonosis often overlooked].

Q fever is a zoonosis caused by an intracellular Gram-negative bacteria, Coxiella burnetii. Animals are the main reservoir and transmission to men generally is occurring by inhalation of contaminated aerosols. Acute Q fever generally is benign and usually resolves spontaneously. When symptomatic, the clinical presentation typically includes one of the following three syndromes: a flu-like illness, a granulomatous hepatitis or an atypical pneumonia. Individuals presenting risk factors such as patients with valvular heart diseases and vascular prostheses, as well as pregnant women and immuno-suppressed patients represent a population at risk of chronic infection, with endocarditis as the most common clinical form.
