    Related Experiment Videos

  • Seven focus groups and 25 individual interviews were conducted.
  • Data analysis involved descriptive thematic analysis of interviews with patients, caregivers, family members, and key informants.

    • Main Results:

    • Three distinct care systems were identified: psychiatric, traditional, and informal family care.
    • Psychiatric care focused on serious or 'natural' pathologies; traditional care addressed 'supernatural' issues but carried risks of fraud.
    • Informal care provided by family emerged as the primary support within therapeutic pathways.

    Conclusions:

    • Family members are the principal caregivers in the mental healthcare landscape.
    • Financial constraints represent the most significant obstacle to seeking mental healthcare.
    • Recommendations are made for national public policy development and local health service organization in Bobo-Dioulasso.
