“…Finally, and most important, the data we could measure-attendance, duration of treatment, or number of sessions-say nothing about the content of the therapy or its effectiveness [59]. Hypotheses about an association between attendance, adherence, and success of the therapy need to be examined in relation to clinical practice.…”

Background Transcultural psychotherapy (TPT) is an original therapeutic method developed in various forms in France and several other countries in Europe as well as North America to address issues of migrant mental health care when psychosocial, economic, or cultural barriers hinder its accessibility and effectiveness. This study aims to describe the patients referred for TPT in Paris and its suburbs over the past decade, to examine intercultural differences and associations with social, demographic, and clinical variables, and to assess TPT in terms of patient adherence, attendance, and duration of care. Method Retrospective study of 529 patients referred for TPT care, classified in three categories-no treatment, initiated treatment, engaged and continuing treatment. Collection and analysis of social, demographic, cultural, and clinical data, as well as of country of origin, duration of treatment, number of sessions attended (adherence), and number of sessions scheduled.

Background Global migration increases ethnic and cultural diversity and demands mental health services to adapt to provide all patients with equal access to good quality care. Patient satisfaction surveys can inform this service delivery, thus we explored patient satisfaction among non-Western migrants receiving treatment in a Danish specialized outpatient mental health clinic [Competence Centre for Transcultural Psychiatry (CTP)]. Methods We used multivariate logistic regression models to estimate associations between ‘Overall treatment satisfaction’ and treatment-related items plus potential confounders from a cross-sectional patient satisfaction survey (n = 686). The satisfaction questionnaire was a self-report measurement tool developed locally at CTP. Participants were non-Western migrants above 18 years with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or depression diagnoses according to ICD-10. Results Most participants (n = 497; 82.6%) reported overall satisfaction with their mental health treatment, but less than half (n = 311; 48.8%) reported an improvement in health and situation after end of treatment. Participants who experienced a subjective improvement in their health and situation had significantly higher odds of being satisfied with their mental health treatment [odds ratio (OR) = 8.5, 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.0–18.1]. Perceptions of influence on the treatment course (OR = 4.7, 95% CI: 2.4–9.2), and of understanding and respect for one’s cultural background (OR = 3.4, 95% CI: 1.5–7.6) were significantly associated with treatment satisfaction. Age and sex were insignificant in the final regression model. Conclusions Implications for practice based on our findings are to enhance person-centred care and shared decision-making with all patients regardless of cultural background and to prioritize pre- and postgraduate training in cultural competences and cultural humility for healthcare providers.
