Despite the discomfort and pain caused by this device, its dimensions and ergonomics have not changed in decasdes. A multidisciplinary team has designed and evaluated a prototype bedpan, using simple materials that are compatible with bedpan washers.

Anti-infective therapy nurses (IDE TAI) work primarily in healthcare facilities to promote the proper use of antibiotics among their peers. The emergence of this new paramedical specialty has motivated IDE TAI nurses in the Paris region to come together under a single banner.

While it enables nursing students to continue developing their clinical reasoning skills and learn about nursing research, its use nevertheless raises ethical and educational challenges that also fall to Ifsi trainers. Becoming familiar with AI as a supervisor in order to provide the best possible support for practices therefore seems not only a necessity but also an opportunity to build the healthcare world of tomorrow.

To encourage their involvement, support mechanisms are being put in place, such as the role of research coordinator in university hospitals, which facilitates access to resources and training. Challenges remain: in particular, collaboration must be strengthened and research integrated into career and training paths to facilitate access to research.

As such, nursing science lecturers and researchers play an essential role in its growth. It must be noted that nurses write little and make only partial use of research findings in their care practices. Teachers and researchers are called upon to open up new avenues of research, to enrich training, and to establish the discipline firmly within universities.
