Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the study is to assess the psychic profile of parents of children born prematurely

Clinical Trial Description

Prematurity affects aroound 1 in 10 children worlwide. Many studies have shown the role of prematurity in the development of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, mother-to-child attachment disorders, but few studies have sought to assess the evolution of this profile over time as well as to assess all of the parents' psychic dimensions.

The investigators currently have little knowledge of risk factors (psychological or psychiatric history, follow-up undertaken, treatments implemented, etc.) that may favor the occurrence of postpartum mental disorders (anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder ).

The investigators will thus seek to identify them. Prematurity can have a negative impact on the parents' psychic experience in the postpartum period. However, few studies have examined the evolution over time of the parental psychic profile and its possible repercussions on the child in terms of attachment and becoming neurodevelopmental. Finally, the majority of studies dealing with these subjects concern only mothers.Tthe investigators will endeavor here to also take into account the fathers. ;
