Perspectives of health, and human and social sciences professionals on student transformation regarding racial discrimination in healthcare.

Background: Racial discrimination in medicine covers topics such as the impact of racism on health, implicit biases, or the history of medicine and the involvement of the healthcare system in maintaining discrimination. However, teaching and training in the French medical curriculum are still relatively nonexistent and nonhomogenized. The aim of this study is therefore to examine the perspective of health professionals and human and social scientists on pedagogy aimed at transforming medical students on the subject of racial discrimination in health.

Shared realities, therapeutic settings, and countertransference in times of crisis: a multinational qualitative study of psychotherapists' experiences.

Objectives: The main aim of this study is to capture the impact of shared external realities - such as global crises - on the therapeutic process, with particular attention to how these events challenge the traditional structures of psychoanalytic and psychotherapeutic work. More specifically, the study seeks to understand how mental health professionals perceive and experience these disruptions, how they have been compelled to question their clinical frameworks, and how they have adapted their practices to maintain therapeutic continuity in a context marked by uncertainty, instability, and the frequent need for improvisation.

Methods: We conducted a qualitative study among a population consisting of mental health professionals, which were recruited in multiple countries through associations and societies of psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychoanalysts.

[The importance of mother tongue for unaccompanied minors].

Unaccompanied minors are teenagers forced to grow up too fast. In this race to become an adult, some are faced with the challenge of learning a new language and building skills around it, to the detriment of their mother tongue. When it comes to learning a new language, even in adolescence, the mother tongue remains the foundation on which new acquisitions are built.

Mental distress or psychiatric condition? Exploring the gray area of categorizing psychological suffering among adolescents with obesity: a mixed methods study.

Introduction Obesity in adolescents is associated with increased mental distress and psychiatric disorders, both of which are under-diagnosed in clinical practice. Methods We designed a mixed methods study, to explore the practical challenges of this screening and its consequences. The qualitative part interviewed 20 physicians: non psychiatrist physicians and child and adolescent psychiatrists - practicing in various specialized settings.

[Mixed narratives and transmissions in maternity wards].

The perinatal period represents a time of vulnerability for migrant families, as it raises questions about the possible transmissions for a baby born between multiple cultures. How can we support the process of psychic construction and family transmission within the mother-child dyad during the transitional phase of motherhood? The use of the transcultural genogram with women during their stay in the maternity ward has several advantages.

[Can witchcraft be passed on genetically?].

The genogram is regularly used in transcultural consultations. These are offered as a second line of treatment to migrant families whose care is stagnant or complicated by cultural issues. The contribution of a genogram can be illustrated through the situation of Sandra, a 32-year-old patient of Cape Verdean origin with a chronic anxiety disorder.

[Diagnosis of possession by a djinn in a transcultural consultation].

The transcultural approach is indicated for complex cases where the cultural dimension is useful in fully understanding a problem. The cultural coding of certain symptoms, such as trance or possession, can be difficult to achieve in conventional individual therapy. The clinical case of Aïcha, originally from Morocco, referred by her psychiatrist for a transcultural opinion, illustrates a reflection on diagnostic elaboration in the face of possession by a djinn.

[Support for the mother-child relationship during total denial of pregnancy: Midwives' point of view].

Objectives: Total pregnancy denial is a phenomenon where the woman does not recognize her pregnancy until a late stage, sometimes just before childbirth. These complex situations raise many questions about the support of the mother-child dyad. This qualitative study aims to describe the experiences and strategies of midwives when dealing with cases of total pregnancy denial, as well as the relational dynamics within these particular dyads, in order to identify avenues for appropriate care.

Racial biases in clinical practice and medical education: a scoping review.

Introduction: Health inequalities represent a major challenge in contemporary medicine, with some attributed to racial biases. Recently, in the United States, a call to combat discrimination in the field of health has resonated, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 crisis, in which minorities have been disproportionately affected. These calls echo recommendations from the Institute of Medicine dating back to 2001, urging the fight against inequalities in access to health care.

[The cultural diversity of professionals in migrant care].

A qualitative study was carried out with five professionals in a pediatric intensive care unit in 2022. Semi-structured interviews were used to find out how they felt about patients from their own culture, and about the role of their mother tongue in hospital care. Caregivers find it difficult to bring their own culture to the fore when caring for their patients.

[Ethical considerations for children living with their imprisoned mothers].

In France, pregnant women or women with children under the age of 18 months, and in exceptional cases 24 months, can serve their prison sentences in specially equipped nurseries or mother-child cells. This situation is likely to have a negative impact on the child's health, and on the quality of the bond with the mother over the longer or shorter term. The benefits of maintaining this bond are indisputable, whatever the setting.

How parents experience their adolescent's disclosure of previous sexual abuse: a qualitative study.

Introduction: Parents whom adolescents disclose sexual abuse face both a personal traumatic experience, and the need to support their child who is going through a grueling period and needs them. Many quantitative studies exploring the psychological impact of disclosure on parents have been conducted, but few have used qualitative methods. The objective of this study is to explore parents' experiences of their adolescent's disclosure of sexual abuse during psychiatric care, identify the possible beneficial factors and shortcomings, share this knowledge, and improve interventions for these families.

Resources and Obstacles of a Maternity Staff Facing Intimate Partner Violence during Pregnancy-A Qualitative Study.

Introduction: Intimate partner violence occurring during pregnancy has a similar prevalence as usual obstetrical disorders that are routinely screened for. Referenced publications insist on the importance of adequate screening, but the proper course of action has yet to be defined.

Aim Of Study: We qualitatively explored the different resources and concepts that emerge from the discourse of maternity staff across professions.

Asserting a Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder with a Complementary Diagnostic Approach: A Brief Report.

Introduction: Functional neurological symptom disorder (FNSD) is a common diagnosis among adolescents. However, we feel it is a difficult diagnosis to assess because of the diversity of its clinical manifestations, the rapid changes in its nosography over the years, and its common imbrication with established somatic diagnoses. We would like to illustrate this hypothesis through a case presentation and the original diagnostic process that emerged from it.

Three-level containment model of hospitalized adolescents with borderline pathology: a holistic therapeutic perspective.

Borderline personality disorders account for 50% of adolescent hospitalization cases in psychiatry. The severity and psychopathological complexity of these symptoms indicate the need for inclusive models of understanding. Adopting a holistic approach allows for the consideration of not only the patient's environment, but also their position within that environment and their life history.

[Relevance of the transcultural approach to improve the care relationship in the perinatal period].

The international literature review highlights higher neonatal morbimortality in migrant patients and their babies. The explanatory hypotheses include late pregnancy follow-up with difficulty accessing care, language barriers, and different cultural representation in pregnancy support. On the one hand, we propose to explain the cultural factors that can impact the caring relationship during the perinatal period.

[Medical termination of pregnancy for maternal psychosocial distress].

Medical termination of pregnancy when decided for maternal psychosocial distress is a new issue facing maternity field teams. Multidisciplinary work is required, as well as respect for the patients' temporality. The decision is collegial, estimating the least traumatic impact possible for them over the long term.
