Care in Patients Hospitalized for Anorexia Nervosa at the Time of the Coronavirus-19 Epidemic (QUALICOVID)

Anorexia nervosa is a severe psychiatric condition. On the nutritional level, one of the objectives recommended by the High Authority of Health is to "achieve and maintain an appropriate weight and nutritional status". It is recommended that, in the event of hospitalisation, this should be "as long as necessary" and be based on a weight contract as a condition for discharge. Within the Pôle Universitaire de Psychiatrie de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent of the Centre Psychothérapique de Nancy, an inpatient unit takes care of children and adolescents with a specific valence in the management of patients suffering from eating disorders.

Since the first quarter of 2020, France has been progressively affected by the pandemic of the coronavirus 2019, Covid-19. This pandemic has led to unprecedented containment measures in France and around the world.

At the time of the announcement of the implementation of containment, the investigators proposed to the parents of patients hospitalized in the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department of the Nancy Psychotherapy Center who were approaching their discharge weight to be able to end their hospitalization prematurely. As a follow-up to this hospitalisation, intensive outpatient care was offered to the families, in accordance with State recommendations in connection with the pandemic. In this hospitalized unit, weekly outpatient consultations were maintained and coupled with telephone interviews, teleconsultation interviews and a telephone hotline for the healthcare team.

The objective of the study is to explore, in a qualitative way, the experiences of patients hospitalized in the child psychiatry department for anorexia nervosa at the time of the coronavirus epidemic in France and those of their parents, in relation to the reorganization of care.

About this study

Interviews will be recorded, made anonymous and transcribed verbatim. The resulting text will be subjected to an inductive thematic analysis. The investigators will analyse the interviews to identify themes. Then, based on the preliminary results, higher key themes will be proposed, i.e. the themes most present and salient in the material. They will look for a concordance between the different members of each family. Several profiles may be proposed based on the patient's and parents' experiences and will be presented in the form of a thematic tree.

The study will be proposed to all eligible patients in order to obtain as much material as possible.
