Psychiatric Care and Education for Adolescents and Young Adults in the Ile-de-France Region: Expectations and Experiences of Young People and Parents Concerned (Soins-Etude)

March 11, 2026 updated by: Fondation Santé des Étudiants de France

Most chronic psychiatric disorders begin before the age of 18. In the most severe cases, prolonged hospitalization is essential, but this ultimately leads to harmful school dropout and social exclusion. "Care-study" hospitalizations offer comprehensive psychiatric, educational, and social care to prevent this. However, these programs have been largely under-evaluated ; only one limited and very old study has looked at the perspective of the young people concerned, and none at all has looked at their parents. Today, however, PREMS (Patient-Reported Experience Measures), which assess how users experience care (satisfaction, subjective and objective experiences, relationships with caregivers), are important indicators for improving care systems. the investigators therefore wish to gather young people's expectations regarding healthcare and education, as well as their opinions and those of their parents on their experiences in the current context, in order to evaluate and improve these systems by better meeting the expectations and needs of users.

Detailed Description

Mixed prospective (interviews) and retrospective (letters) multicenter study, qualitative and data mining (excluding Jardé law) Qualitative

The first part of the research will follow a qualitative methodology in accordance with COREQ recommendations. The aim is to gather insights from young people and one or both of their parents on the care they received in the care-study program. Two populations will be included:

young people currently hospitalized in educational care at the end of their treatment, as well as one or both of their parents,
those who have been discharged from educational care for more than a year, as well as one or both of their parents.

All will be interviewed about their experience in educational care. The approach will be phenomenological-pragmatic, a comprehensive research paradigm. The interpretative phenomenological approach (IPA) allows for detailed and nuanced analyses of each individual's experiences. The objective of this perspective is to delve deeply into the unique universe of each individual in order to reconstruct a common meaning, a common model. In addition, it allows us to grasp and understand the experiences of a young person and one of their parents.

Data mining In order to identify young people's expectations regarding psychiatric care and education prior to admission, their letters of motivation from the last five years will be used. The analysis of this set of textual data requires the use of appropriate data mining methods. This method does not prejudge the participants' responses and aims to determine patient-centered evaluation criteria for care and education and to generate hypotheses.
