Pregnancy and Use of Psychoactive Substances: The Influence of Representations of Care on Care.

Overview

It is observed that pregnant women using psychoactive substance (s) have a more random and more accidental pregnancy follow-up than women with no addictive problems. The consumption approach can be either omitted during the pregnancy monitoring, or entrusted to the course or more often in late pregnancy or occurs more brutally during delivery at the time of complications (neonatal or obstetric). In this context, health professionals are looking for levers that allow women to take appropriate care quickly. This difficulty of access to care questions us and all the more because the time of the pregnancy is a moment of important psychic reorganization conducive to modify its habits, to change its glance on its consumptions and thus to start a care concerning addiction. Invesigators hypothesize that this population has less access to medical care during pregnancy for fear of stigmatization by the health care provider. Invesigators propose a multicenter qualitative study based on individual clinical interviews to collect the testimony of women who used psychoactive substance (s) during their pregnancy. The purpose of this work is to identify ways to improve the multidisciplinary medical management of these women by focusing on the representations they can make care of.
