Isabelle Doré
Initially trained in sociology, Isabelle Doré holds a Ph.D. in public health and epidemiology and a postdoctoral fellowship in kinesiology. She is an assistant professor at the School of Kinesiology and Physical Activity Sciences in the Faculty of Medicine of the Université de Montréal and in the School of Public Health of the Université de Montréal. She is a regular researcher at the Centre de recherche du Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CRCHUM). Her research focuses on physical activity as a strategy to promote mental health and reduce the risk of anxiety and depressive disorders and aims to understand the mechanisms that may explain the benefits of physical activity on these mental health indicators. Her research focuses on adolescents and young adults in the general population, individuals diagnosed with cancer, and immunosuppressed populations.
The main objective of this session is to engage a dialogue to help understand patients' experience and to better appreciate their needs in order to optimize health status and wellness in the context of liver transplantation. We propose a panel discussion involving speakers adressing nutrition (Chantal Bémeur, RD, PhD), exercise/physical activity and mental health (Isabelle Dorée, PhD) with the essential and rich contribution of a patient partner (Sandra Holdsworth) as a whole. Examples of topics discussed, in the context of the holistic view, include available and required tools to provide information on aspects of health status that are relevant to quality of life, physical and mental health. The ultimate goal is to dress a meaningful portrait of the situation and guide future research focusing on patients' needs.
This session is supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
Speakers: Chantal Bémeur, Sandra Holdsworth, Isabelle Doré
