Mapping the Healthcare Pathway to Specialised Multidisciplinary Assessment of 12-25 Year Olds With Somatic Symptom Disorder: a Monocentric Descriptive Study Based on Interviews Assisted by a Biographical Grid (PSOMA)

NCT06582173 NOT_YET_RECRUITING

This study aims to describe the course of successive care events that follow individuals with somatic symptom disorder until they are assessed by a specialized multidisciplinary team. Data is collected during interviews with subjects aged 12 to 25 years old accompanied by their parents. A biographical grid is used to retrospectively identify all care events that occurred from first symptoms until multidisciplinary assessment. Life events and symptoms are collected as well to explore how history of healthcare consumption is linked to other trajectories. A qualitative analysis of the recorded interviews aims to describe the subjective experience of this healthcare pathway.
