ObjectivesHealth status (HS)/ health-related quality of life measures, completed by self or proxy, are important outcome indicators. Most HS literature on children born preterm includes adolescents and adults with limited data at preschool age. This study aimed to describe parent-reported HS in a large national cohort of extreme preterm children at preschool age and to identify clinical and sociodemographic variables associated with HS.MethodsInfants born before 29 weeks’ gestation between 2009 and 2011 were enrolled in a prospective longitudinal national cohort study through the Canadian Neonatal Network (CNN) and the Canadian Neonatal Follow-Up Network (CNFUN). HS, at 36 months’ corrected age (CA), was measured with the Health Status Classification System for Pre-School Children tool completed by parents. Information about HS predictors was extracted from the CNN and CNFUN databases.ResultsOf 811 children included, there were 79, 309 and 423 participants in 23–24, 25–26 and 27–28 weeks’ gestational age groups, respectively. At 36 months’ CA, 78% had a parent-reported health concern, mild in >50% and severe in 7%. Most affected HS attributes were speech (52.1%) and self-care (41.4%). Independent predictors of HS included substance use during pregnancy, infant male sex, Score for Neonatal Acute Physiology-II, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, severe retinopathy of prematurity, caregiver employment and single caregiver.ConclusionMost parents expressed no or mild health concerns for their children at 36 months’ CA. Factors associated with health concerns included initial severity of illness, complications of prematurity and social factors.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is prevalent among young gay and bisexual men (YGBM) and is associated with physical and mental health problems, as well as deleterious psychosocial conditions. Most previous studies of IPV among YGBM have been quantitative in nature and have not examined the numerous subtypes of IPV, the chronicity of IPV experiences, and how is IPV manifested in the context of these same-sex relationships. Thus, a qualitative approach may be useful in exploring these multidimensional and understudied experiences. The present qualitative study sought to (a) explore dimensions of IPV victimization, perpetration, and bidirectional IPV among a sample of ( n = 26) YGBM living in New York City and (b) explore the chronicity of IPV experiences among these YGBM. Participants were recruited from an ongoing cohort study of YGBM. Participants completed semistructured interviews that included questions about IPV victimization, perpetration, and bidirectional IPV. A modified version of the consensual qualitative research method was used to analyze the data. The YGBM in this study reported numerous forms of physical, psychological, sexual, and financial IPV victimization and perpetration. Bidirectional experiences of IPV were common. The various subtypes of IPV victimization and perpetration are explored in detail in this manuscript. In addition, many participants reported multiple experiences of abuse within the same relationship, and some participants experienced a pattern of abusive relationships over time. This study corroborates findings from quantitative studies, which indicate that IPV is a prevalent and significant health problem among YGBM, and one that warrants additional attention from researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers. Furthermore, this study adds rich qualitative data to the existing literature—data that can be used to help develop and refine future measures of IPV that are tailored for use with YGBM.

Annabelle Bundle presents the results of a qualitative study, undertaken in a mixed residential children's home, which aimed to identify what looked after young people see as important in terms of health information. The young people wanted information particularly on mental health issues, keeping fit, substance use and sexual health. Many were reluctant to request appointments for personal matters and did not feel they were encouraged to ask about personal health concerns during medical examinations.

Phenomenological Interview

Objective: to understand healthcare experiences from the perspective of women who are or were pregnant while in homelessness. Methods: qualitative study based on Heideggerian phenomenology adapted to the field of health. There were ten participants. The technique of phenomenological interview and a semi-structured instrument were used. The comprehensive analysis methodically followed the stages of phenomenological reduction, construction,and destruction. Results: the existence of pregnant homeless women represents difficulties, discrimination, violence, prejudice, racism,and vulnerability. It is a violation of human dignity, revealing specificities and nuances of the triad women-maternity-street. Conclusion: the research made it possible to understand that healthcare, from the perspective of women who are pregnant while homeless, offers risks both to the mother and to the child. Both the self-care and the healthcare offered by health workers and services is precarious and has weaknesses, being different from any type of care that could be understood as solicitous, zealous, and concerned.
