About

Main objective : This project aims to have a better understanding of the influence of representations of patients with mucoviscidosis, their assistants and their medical persons in the choice of patients to accept or not lung transplantation.

Specific objectives :

1. Identify the knowledge, representations, or feelings of patients which could constitute bridles or factors of motivation to use for transplantation.
2. Identify the knowledge, representations, or feelings of medical persons which could constitute bridles or factors of motivation to the "encouraging" proposal to patients of lung transplant.
3. Identify the knowledge, representations, or feelings of assistants which could constitute bridles or factors of motivation to the "encouragement" of lung transplantation at its close.
4. Identify the needs of patients, assistants and medical persons to successfully reduce these bridles to transplantation and increase the factors of motivation.
5. Compare the representations of patients, assistants and medical persons
6. Search representations associated with patients who refuse the transplantation and those who accept the transplantation
