  • Les situations difficiles au travail

    Gestion des risques psychosociaux
    • 1st Edition
    • Matthieu Poirot
    • French
    Une situation difficile au travail correspond à l'accumulation de facteurs dépassant les capacités collectives de régulation d'une entreprise et les ressources psychosociales des personnes. Il en résulte un déséquilibre pouvant mettre en jeu la santé des salariés et l'efficacité du travail. Il peut s'agir de facteurs : - organisationnels : équipes marginalisées, choc de générations, perte chronique d'activité, bouleversement stratégique, etc. ; - individuels : situation de fragilisation, personnalité difficile, épuisement professionnel (burnout), etc. ; - relationnels : hyperconflit, harcèlement, persécution, management toxique, etc. Illustré de situations concrètes, cet ouvrage permet d'analyser les situations difficiles selon ces trois approches et d'en évaluer les risques. Il propose des outils d'accompagnement et de résolution des conflits. Enfin, il présente les bonnes pratiques à mettre en place pour prévenir ce type de situations. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux praticiens de l'accompagnement professionnel (coachs-consultants en entreprise), aux professionnels de la santé au travail (médecins, psychothérapeutes, psychologues), mais également aux managers et aux managés.

    Les cancers gynécologiques pelviens regroupent différentes entités à l'épidémiologie et à la prise en charge très différentes. Cet ouvrage d'une grande actualité, rédigé par les meilleurs spécialistes de la discipline, apporte un éclairage exhaustif, théorique et technique, sur les principes thérapeutiques de la cancérologie pelvienne en traitements médicaux, en radiothérapie et en chirurgie. Dans un premier temps, les auteurs abordent l'anatomie pathologique « utile au chirurgien », l'épidémiologie descriptive et analytique et les aspects pré et per-thérapeutiques : biologie, imagerie, génétique et stadification qui en découle. Dans un deuxième temps, les aspects thérapeutiques généraux et spécifiques sont explicités (radiothérapie, traitements médicaux, chirurgie). Enfin, les cas particuliers tels que les tumeurs rares et à malignité limitée ou les tumeurs lors de la grossesse ainsi que les complications et les éventuels problèmes post-opératoires tels que douleur, sexualité ou surveillance post-thérapeutique sont développés pour offrir au praticien toutes les réponses nécessaires à une prise en charge optimale. Cet ouvrage pluridisciplinaire associant différents spécialistes (gynécologue, oncologue, chirurgien, anatomopathologiste et spécialiste de l'imagerie médicale), s'adresse à la fois aux praticiens en cours de spécialisation (internes et assistants), aux praticiens non chirurgicaux et aux chirurgiens confirmés amenés à prendre en charge des femmes atteintes de cancers gynécologiques pelviens.
