This research focuses on women aged 18 to 65 with symptoms of acute cystitis without risk of complication. It aims to evaluate whether using a shared decision-making tool in pharmacies can help patients better understand the benefits and risks of taking antibiotics and adjust antibiotic use accordingly. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions while still selecting patients who truly need treatment. Participants are divided into two groups. One group follows the standard French delegation protocol for acute cystitis management by pharmacists, which recommends systematic antibiotic therapy. The other group uses the same protocol supplemented with a shared decision-making tool to decide if antibiotics should be given based on patient preferences after being informed. This study compares antibiotic dispensing between these groups. After diagnosis and consent, patients receive care according to their group assignment. Researchers collect data on antibiotic prescriptions and patient demographics. Participants are followed up by phone 14 days later to assess antibiotic use, symptom impact using the Activity Impairment Assessment scale, satisfaction, decision confidence via the OConnor scale, and any medical visits. Antibiotic dispensing is tracked through national pharmacy records. The study runs from May 2026 to November 2026.

This research focuses on young people hospitalized for psychiatric disorders, aiming to evaluate whether a training program for psychiatric care teams improves discussions about sexual health. The study addresses the impact of psychiatric disorders and psychotropic medications on sexuality, emphasizing a positive and respectful approach to sexual health as defined by the World Health Organization. The goal is to increase conversations about sexual health during hospitalization in several psychiatric clinics. The study is non-interventional and conducted in three phases. First, a mixed-method assessment including a quantitative self-questionnaire and qualitative surveys gathers baseline information from patients and caregivers. Next, based on this data, training programs for psychiatric professionals and supportive tools for young people are developed and implemented. Finally, the initial quantitative survey is repeated one year after training to measure its impact. Participants take part by completing self-administered questionnaires during their psychiatric care visits at specific times before and after the caregiver training. Researchers collect and compare responses to assess changes in sexual health discussions. The study involves evaluations through surveys, and participation lasts through the phases needed to complete these assessments, with no additional treatments involved.
