Abstract:
Patient advisors for victims of traumatic amputation: a critical intervention. Since 2014, the Centre of Expertise in Reimplantation and Microsurgical Revascularization at the University of Montreal (CEVARMU) has been recruiting on an ad hoc basis former patients, who have completed the rehabilitation process, to accompany and support new patients at the Centre during their care process. Considered full-fledged partners of the care team, these patient advisors are invited to meet with patients who are hospitalized or in the rehabilitation process to not only share their experience but also ensure that the treatment plans proposed to the patients are well understood and meet their needs. Around forty interventions have been conducted by five patient advisors, helping to strengthen the credibility of professional interventions, break down patients' isolation, and give new meaning to the work of health professionals.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
