Collective elaboration of care for safety in radiotherapy: cooperative management of patient variability
Résumé
This research is about collective production of radiotherapy care involved in cancer treatment. The aim of this research is to characterize the communicative process between actors to highlight the safety practices carried out to build, and to implement, a safe treatment. We focus here on the radiographers' activity and in particular the function of the diversity of informal exchanges between these actors who are present at the both ends of the treatment chain. Observations have been carried out to understand the work practices of each professional category. Five radiographers at simulation station and five radiographers at the treatment station were interviewed. Informal communications outlined illustrate cooperation between radiographers at the both ends of the chain. Their objective is to share specific information related to the treatment and related to the patient that may affect the treatment session. These strategies for safety production imply to manage the variability related to the patient and are achieved by anticipation between the posts promoting temporal conditions for the reproducibility and immobility of positioning the patient.
