Characterizing cognitive problem-solving strategies in patients’ everyday life: The case of patients with Type 1 diabetes
Introduction:Numerous quantitative studies have shown the importance of executive functions (planning, attention, inhibition, and short-term memory) for diabetes treatment compliance. Those studies also point to the paucity of data on action strategies employed by persons with diabetes. The aim of this study is to characterize the action strategies used in six situations typically encountered by persons with Type 1 diabetes (no comorbidities).Methods:This qualitative multiple-case study concerns adult patients with no comorbidities. Eighteen patients were presented with six clinical vignettes portraying emblematic situations and then interviewed. After categorization, the 108 situations wer…

Going beyond a conflict of approaches in psychiatric care: the perks of interdisciplinary research
International audience; Our research studied the interactions between mental health care (MHC) professionals and users in French public psychiatry, focusing on the “tools” which professionals use in their interactions with users. We draw a typology of four main "therapeutic styles" in relation to tool use;1- Absence of identifiable tools. Interaction is personalized and improvised. 2- Use of rituals and habits. 3- Use of methods that have otherwise been written and formalized.4- Use of tools, be they written or computerized, protocols guiding the interactions, or strictly standardized tools.The psychologist involved in the research (HH) intends to show how the practice of interdisciplinary …
Uncovering the lived experience of hospital administrators during the COVID-19 pandemic. Insights from a focus-group-based qualitative research project
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically transformed organizational processes in healthcare institutions, more specifically, in France, in public hospitals. While it was known for years that French public hospitals were going through a crisis (Juven et al., 2019), research is scarce when it comes to hospital administrators, except in the field of administration sociology (Schweyer, 2006, 2018). Investigating their lived experience of the crisis seemed necessary to better assess their psychological needs and specificities and more fully understand how the pandemic hit French hospitals.Our research started with a proposal from the CEO of a middle-sized French teaching hospital, who called us to…
Contribution à l’étude clinique des institutions de soins. Le fantasme de l’institution malfaisante
Resume Cet article veut eclairer, a partir d’une recherche-action cooperative dans un CHU francais, une construction mentale inconsciente a la racine du phenomene de « paranoia institutionnelle » : le fantasme de l’« institution malfaisante ». Grâce a l’analyse thematique de plus de 80 entretiens au cours d’une enquete de terrain d’un an, nous montrons que le fantasme de l’institution malfaisante procede d’une triade d’elements constitutifs : 1) un flou concernant l’etablissement et l’incarnation de sa direction ; 2) la reconnaissance de la puissance symbolique de cet etablissement, notamment de son pouvoir de contrainte ; et 3) l’attribution par projections agressives d’intentions negative…
« Présentation d'un outil d'évaluation de l'évolution des processus psychiques au sein d'un dispositif thérapeutique en clinique du traumatisme »
Objectives: Our project consists in the implementation and the evaluation of a care system for children in a child protection NGO in Cambodia. In view of the cultural differences and specificities of the field, taking into account only the symptoms does not seem to sufficiently account for the processes involved within the system. Based on the observation that there is a lack of tools that would allow us to apprehend these processes, our study focused on the creation of a scoring grid for psychological processes that could be used in the humanitarian field and could support clinical practice. Method: During one year, we met ten children confronted with traumatogenic events, within a device …
