We discussed today the principle of the Practice Research Network (PRN) and the benefits provided for both practitioners and patients, followed by research results.
The PRN is a network made up of committed clinician-researchers who seek to improve their skills. Each of the practitioners undertakes, in a form of applied research, to encode and observe their practice then to intervene and share during monthly meetings between peers.
The PRN is based on an infrastructure that produces potentially large databases that can be used as practical evidence.
Here, the primary motivation is not the obligation to have to improve one's practice but desire and desire. The desire to develop better life skills, accompanied by the know-how and the desire to share, to explore development options.
What do our 28 practitioners think of their involvement in this dynamic process? Depending on their feedback, this gives them the possibility above all of gaining a good perspective for each of their patients. Then the encoding and observation of practice enables them to better structure their interventions as well as to revisit the subtleties of the strategic systemic approach.
Finally, it also allows them to set up systematic feedback with their patients, in particular through evaluation questionnaires, which contribute to improving care.
The first results of research established using the encoded data (by practitioners of the systemic and strategic approach only.), out of 767 cases treated having been the subject of a closed appointment, we observe a resolution or an improvement of the problem in 79% of cases and the average duration of treatment was 5 months. 53% are considered resolved by practitioners (7-10), 26% have improved (4-6), 21% are considered unresolved (0-3).
To present the different types of situations for which the clients came for consultation, we only retain the types of diagnosis for which there were 10 or more cases listed and we present in 2 separate tables the interactional diagnoses that do not correspond. DSM5 nomenclature and DSM5 diagnostics.
The types of situations most often encountered by network partners are
> problems of self-confidence (102),
> interpersonal conflicts (84),
> relational problems encountered at work (70),
> problems related to lack of trust in others (69),
The evaluation of the resolution rate is approximately 80%.
