The objective is to examine barriers and facilitators to recovery in children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using a qualitative approach.
Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted, audio-recorded, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings were validated through investigator triangulation, peer validation and member check.
Barriers to recovery were internal-lack of awareness; poor motivation to seek treatment; and perceived stigma, or external-poor parental support; parental anxiety; inadequate awareness in schools; social misconceptions about illness; myths about medication; and frustrations in treatment processes. Facilitators were internal-will and determination; self-discipline; keeping calm; sense of purpose, and external-general awareness; parental support; peer support; and good therapeutic engagement.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore barriers and facilitators to recovery in-depth in pediatric OCD. Findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions, robust support networks, and cultural sensitivity for successful recovery outcomes.
采用定性研究方法，探讨强迫症（OCD）儿童和青少年康复过程中的障碍与促进因素。
进行了10次半结构化访谈，进行录音，并采用主题分析法进行分析。研究结果通过研究者三角互证、同行验证和成员核对进行验证。
康复障碍包括内在因素——缺乏认知；寻求治疗的动力不足；以及感知到的耻辱感，或外在因素——父母支持不足；父母焦虑；学校认知不足；社会对疾病的误解；药物治疗的误区；以及治疗过程中的挫折感。促进因素包括内在因素——意志和决心；自律；保持冷静；目标感，以及外在因素——一般认知；父母支持；同伴支持；以及良好的治疗参与度。
据我们所知，这是第一项深入探讨儿科强迫症康复障碍与促进因素的研究。研究结果强调了量身定制的干预措施、强大的支持网络以及文化敏感性对于成功康复结果的重要性。
