Schedule

Cet atelier interactif présente PalliPsych, un cadre pratique visant à intégrer des aptitudes clés de la psychiatrie et de la psychothérapie en soins palliatifs. À travers un enseignement basé sur des situations cliniques, des exercices appliqués et des discussions animées, les participants renforceront leurs compétences en évaluation et en prise en charge fondée sur les données probantes d’un éventail de troubles psychologiques pertinents à leur pratique. Les participants sont invités à réfléchir à un cas clinique complexe auquel ils ont été confrontés; un de ceux-ci sera utilisé dans l'atelier de l'après-midi. Les participants s’exerceront à l’utilisation d’outils d’évaluation psychologique tels que la formulation de cas clinique et la prise de conscience du contre-transfert afin de moduler la réponse thérapeutique aux mécanismes d’adaptation variés des personnes suivies en soins palliatifs. À l’issue de l’atelier, les participants disposeront d’outils concrets pour renforcer leur présence thérapeutique, réduire la souffrance globale et offrir des soins psychologiquement informés tout au long du parcours de soins des personnes touchées par une maladie incurable. Formateurs:Corinne Archer Ulysse, MD, CUSM Soins palliatifs Annie Tremblay, MD, CHU de Québec-Université Laval Patrice Montreuil, CHU de Québec-Université Laval, Hôpital de l'Enfant-Jésus Marie Solange Bernatchez, Ph.D., CUSM

This interactive, full-day pre-conference introduces PalliPsych, a practical framework for integrating psychiatric and psychotherapeutic insights into hospice and palliative care. Through case-based teaching, applied exercises, and facilitated discussion, participants will strengthen their skills in assessment and evidence-based management of a broad range of psychiatric diagnoses. In addition, participants will practice the skill of using psychological assessment skills (such as formulation and countertransference awareness) to guide therapeutic response to unique patient coping profiles. Attendees will leave with concrete, high-yield tools to enhance therapeutic presence, reduce suffering, and deliver psychologically informed care across the serious illness trajectory.

Within the often hectic and demanding clinical practice of palliative care, clinicians are called to closely observe and process care encounters for deeper meaning and the benefit of all involved. Time to nurture these skills and to reflect is critical for optimal clinical practice and sustainability over time. The art museum space can provide opportunities for educators and interprofessional clinicians to focus on more intentional observation in connecting to a piece of art. It can also allow for learning and exploration to be focused on themes like wellness, diversity, implicit bias, interprofessional work, joy, death, and resilience as a strategy for renewal within self and team care. This engaging and intimate pre-conference workshop invites participants to experience museum-based education, refine observation skills, and connect to meaning while considering how to learn and apply these teaching strategies in their practice settings. Objectives: “See deeply” when examining a piece of art and describe how similar strategies could be used in hospice and palliative care clinical settings. Gain insight into an aspect of meaning from the participant’s clinical work through a work of art in the museum. Practice teaching in the museum using museum-based education techniques Describe how to implement a museum-based education session to teach skills important to the practice of hospice and palliative care in the participant’s home setting.
