La vie des personnes souffrant d’une maladie mentale est souvent caractérisée par une pauvreté de la vie personnelle, professionnelle et sociale. Les programmes de réhabilitation psychiatrique ont été développés pour soutenir l’insertion sociale et professionnelle de ces personnes. Les recherches antérieures ont montré que ces programmes peuvent contribuer à l’amélioration du bien-être de l'individu. L’objectif de la présente étude a été d’évaluer les effets d’interventions cognitives et comportementales offertes par des Centres de Réadaptation Fonctionnelle (CRF) en Belgique, sur la symptomatologie clinique, le fonctionnement cognitif et social. Une étude longitudinale a été conduite dans laquelle les patients ont été évalués après 6 et 12 mois de thérapie. Les résultats soutiennent l’idée que les Centres de Réadaptation Fonctionnelle offrent des interventions thérapeutiques qui peuvent améliorer le fonctionnement social et cognitif des patients ainsi que leur symptomatologie clinique.

This article discusses the measurement of quality of life for old people through the preliminary validation study (applicability, reliability and validity) of a questionnaire specifically designed for this population: the Quality of Life Systemic Inventory for old people (QLSI-65+©). This validation is based on a sample of 54 non-institutionalized adults aged 65 to 85 years. All completed a sociodemographic and medical questionnaire, the QLSI-65+©, the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The results show a good applicability of the QLSI-65+©. The internal consistency of the indices (State, Goal, Rank and Gap) is very satisfactory. All indices are correlated each other to varying degrees (reliability). Correlations between State, Goal and Gap QLSI-65+© global scores and GDS and SWLS total scores are significant (convergent validity). Finally, State, Goal and Gap QLSI-65+© global scores of the sample are significantly better than those of 17 informal caregivers of people with dementia (validity in terms of know group differences).

Discrépance et domaines de vie de l’ISQV-E(c) : quels liens avec le mal-être de l’enfant ?

This study examines the processes and the life domains of the Child Quality of Life Systemic Inventory (ISQV-E(c) in French - Missotten, Etienne & Dupuis, 2007), involved in the suffering of depressed children, assessed with the CDI. These questionnaires were administered to 453 to school age children (8-12 years old) and they all spoke French (273 French, 180 Belgian). An initial analysis was undertaken to verify the nature of the model, additive vs multiplicative, underlying the ISQV-E(c). Five factors were tested: the Goal, the Discrepancy (distance between State and Goal), Speed, Rank and the Gap. Regression analysis revealed that only the Goal and the Discrepancy are significantly related to suffering depression (additive model). From these two factors, a second analysis was performed to account for domains of life most involved in suffering from depression. The results dealt with a PLS path modeling helped to update the 10 domains of life, of the twenty-evaluated by the ISQV-E(c), likely to predict depressive suffering of children. The specific contribution of the ISQV-E(c) is discussed in relation to depressive affect assessed with the CDI. [less ▲]

The purpose of this article is to assert the current state of the scientific literature on the issues regarding empathy in alcohol-dependents patients (ADs). We will first explain what the term « empathy » covers and the distinction made between cognitive and emotional empathy. We will describe then the different studies that got interested in the capacities for empathy in ADs patients. These studies concern predominantly one precise aspect of cognitive empathy: the capacity to infer an emotional state on the basis of emotional facial expressions (EFEs). Up to now, the other domain of cognitive empathy –the decoding of affective prosody and of nonverbal mulimodal stimuli and the attribution of intentions and beliefs– and emotional empathy are under-investigated in alcohol-dependence. In this review of the literature, we will identify the consequences that empathy problems could have on interpersonal relationships as well as the domains that still have to be to investigate regarding empathy in ADs patients, and notably the remediation of these deficits.

Alcoolisme et attribution d’intentions interpersonnelles sur base d’expressions faciales émotionnelles : Etude pilote

The ability to understand the emotional states of others is necessary in order to develop high quality interpersonal relationships. Alcohol-dependents (AD) display interpretative errors when decoding emotional facial expressions (EFE). EFE communicate information not only regarding emotional states but also regarding interpersonal intentions. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether, exposed to EFE, AD differ from healthy individuals in attributions of interpersonal intentions of dominance and affiliation. The purpose of dominance is to control the environment and the purpose of affiliation is to maintain the relationship with the object. In the present study, twenty AD and 20 healthy subjects attributed intentions of dominance and affiliation to 12 faces portraying joy, anger or sadness. Results revealed that AD differ from healthy individual in attribution of dominance but not of affiliation. AD make mistakes when decoding expressed emotions. The present study suggests that, compared to healthy subjects, they also tend to anticipate, in a biased way, interpersonal intentions. [less ▲]

This study approaches the question of the evolution of the quality of life (QOL) measures in older patient populations. On base of the report of the weak number of instruments specifically adapted to this population and of the absence of instruments taking into account both the expectations and the priorities of the individuals, we wished to make the adaptation of a tool for adult, the Quality of life Systematic Inventory (QLSI©). In this prospect, the main aim of this preliminary research was to test the evaluative approach of the QLSI© within a population of old people and to obtain useful information for the construction of a version of the QLSI© for old people. 135 voluntary subjects, from 65 to 85 years old, living at home and having a good health participated in the study. The questionnaire revealed a good QOL which could be explained by the combination of diverse factors such as a good current situation, a lesser importance given to the diverse life domains and the relatively weak goals. The results demonstrated the relevance of the QLSI© but also showed the necessity of certain modifications to make this questionnaire more specific to the old person. [less ▲]
