Résumé
Cette étude qualitative s’intéresse aux facteurs pouvant expliquer les difficultés rencontrées par les jeunes hommes (18–35 ans) ayant vécu un premier épisode psychotique à établir et maintenir des relations amoureuses. Douze participants ont pris part à une entrevue semi-structurée d’environ 60 minutes. Quatre thèmes principaux sont ressortis de l’analyse des données, soit la Gestion de la proximité, la Conception de l’intimité, l’Identité et le Processus de rétablissement. Les difficultés rencontrées seraient liées à des expériences relationnelles antérieures et à des difficultés métacognitives et de régulation émotionnelle suite à un épisode psychotique, mais des études supplémentaires sont requises.
Abstract
This qualitative study aims at understanding the factors underlying the difficulties young men (18–35 years old) who had a first episode of psychosis have in initiating and maintaning intimate relationships. Twelve participans took part in semi-structured 60-minute interviews. Four main themes were identified following the data analysis: Coping with proximity, Conception of intimacy, Identity, and Recovery process. Results suggest that difficulties faced by this population could be related to previous relational experiences and to metacogntive and emotional regulation deficits that apeared after the first episode, but more research is needed.
