Restraint during care in pediatrics is a professional practice that is beginning to be studied. However, few studies explore this phenomenon from the point of view of the parents of children who are firmly restrained during care. Guided by the caregiver\'s perspective, care remains a priority for them. Some perceive the violence of the situation, while others focus on the benevolence of the professionals. In all cases, this practice implies the need for professionals to support the parents and children concerned, in order to safeguard the best interests of the young patient.

Joy, fear, disgust, anger, sadness, surprise, emotions are fleeting and natural affects that catch us off guard. Care, as a face-to-face encounter with others, in a sometimes difficult context of serious or chronic pathologies, can become a place of affectivity, all the more so as care crosses the barriers of bodily intimacy. What to do with one\'s emotions in care?

As part of the MAEVAS day, organized by the Paris Psychiatry & Neurosciences University Hospital Group, three nursing students from the Théodore-Simon inter-hospital training institute in Neuilly-sur-Marne (93) presented a conference entitled \"Humanism & Cure at the Heart of the Care Relationship: Dare to Think!\" to an audience of caregivers on May 23, 2022. They report on the essence of the reflections shared.

Touching someone is a multisensory encounter with the other, it is listening, hearing, seeing, smelling, feeling, perceiving, etc. This contact allows for the interpersonal circulation of a host of information in a close relationship. The caregiver touches the patient\'s body with his or her eyes before beginning to grasp it with his or her hands. In order to adjust his or her approach to care, he or she must be attentive to the messages that the patient sends. But touching a patient\'s body also means that the caregiver is touched by the emotions produced by the confrontation of the person\'s body with his or her own body.

The new paradigm of precision medicine in oncology questions today the respective place of evidence-based medicine and doctor-patient relationship. Based on the results of a randomized study comparing the efficacy of a homeopathic molecule in the prevention of nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy in non-metastatic breast cancer, this article extends and develops the discussion of maintaining an unresolved tension between medical art and medical science, between care and cure. This tension sets a base for the authors of the therapeutic alliance in medicine, defined as a dialectic constantly adjourned between the alliance of the doctor with the patient and his therapy, and the therapeutic effect of this alliance. Because if a policy or a public opinion were to promote an exclusively rational medicine deprived of the field of relation to care, or on the contrary a medicine based only on clinical sense and intuition, then respectively the ethics of care and the progress of therapy would be threatened. It is advisable to be aware of erring from the truth, amplified today by social networks, as much due to a tide of scientific positivism, as an excess of the \"good caring soul\". Taking into account the therapeutic alliance makes it possible to no longer oppose scientific medicine and care relationship.

The reform of health studies and the inclusion in the Bachelor-Master-Doctorate curriculum implies a new way of teaching, with an inverted pedagogical relationship between student and teacher. The competency-based approach contributes to the development of the student\'s professional and interpersonal skills, in the same way as the support provided by the nurse in the care relationship, particularly in therapeutic education, in order to promote patient autonomy.

Being a caregiver in perinatal care means working with others\' intimate feelings as well as one\'s own. Issues surrounding life and death coexist in delivery rooms, causing all those involved to consider the meaning of life and origins. When perinatal bereavement becomes part of the idealised picture of birth, the caregiver becomes the buoy to whom the parents hold on in order not to founder.

BACKGROUND: Care provider support for therapeutic patient education (TPE), its results and relationships with patients are factors in the setting up and sustainability of this practice.
OBJECTIVE: With a view to understanding the factors determining TPE care provider participation and favouring its development, the aim of this study was to describe the perception healthcare providers have of TPE in heart failure.
METHODS: A national survey by self-administered questionnaire was performed in 2013 in 61 Observatoire de l\'INsuffisance cardiaque (ODIN; Heart Failure Observatory) centres participating in the I-CARE programme. The cardiologist in charge of each centre received five questionnaires: one for him/herself and four for other healthcare providers working with him/her.
RESULTS: We received 116 responses out of the 305 questionnaires sent (38.0%). Almost all of the responders stated that the patients were more observant after TPE sessions (91.4%). According to the responders, patients were better informed thanks to TPE (53.9%); they stated that TPE had changed their relationships with patients (81.9%); they also felt that they were educating the patient\'s close family/friends at the same time as the patients (86.2%).
CONCLUSIONS: The survey showed that TPE improves care relationships. Healthcare providers recognize that they have been working differently since the programme was set up, and want the patient\'s close family/friends to be involved in treatment.
