Abstract

The multidisciplinary teams dedicated to adolescents and young adults in cancer centres include professionals from special education or socio-cultural activities. These two professions are often unknown in the hospital environment. The educational approach implemented and the support offered by these professionals differ in their objectives, but have the common goal of improving the patient's well-being.

Keywords: accompagnement éducatif; adolescent; animation socioculturelle; cancer; educational support; jeune adulte; socio-cultural activities; special education; young adult; éducation spécialisée.
