Brief Summary

Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a congenital skeletal disorder with multiple complications such as bone pain, fractures, deformities and nerve compression. Few quantitative studies have demonstrated its physical, mental and social negative impacts on patients but none have qualitatively evaluated their global quality of life. Our hypothesis is that a better knowledge of the quality of life of FD patients should allow to target the actions to be implemented to improve patients'care.

The main objective of this qualitative research is therefore to investigate the quality of life of FD patients through 2 approaches: a qualitative study with focus groups interviews addressing several themes: self-image, psychological and emotional well-being, difficulties and adaptative strategies; and a quantitative study to measure the impact of FD on quality of life and on olfaction (sometimes affected by nerve compression due to the disease) using standardized questionnaires Short Form 36 (SF36) and Self-reported Mini Olfactory Questionnaire (SELF-MOQ).

FD qualitative study on quality of life.FD qualitative study on quality of lifeFD patients (FD monostotic, FD polyostotic, with or without craniofacial damages) will be invited to attend a focus group on the following themes: symptoms, self-image, psychological and emotional well-being, difficulties in daily life and adaptative strategies. The focus-groups will be conducted in a semi-directive manner by a moderator and will be recorded; after a verbatim transcription of the focus group recordings, the data will be analyzed manually and with the help of a semantic analysis software. It will allow common notions about quality of life in FD to emerge. A demographic questionnaire will also be completed by the participants.
FD quantitative sudy on quality of life and olfaction.FD quantitative sudy on quality of life and olfaction.Participants will receive two questionnaires to complete: the SF36 questionnaire (quality of life) and the SELF-MOQ questionnaire (olfaction impairment evaluation). Other data required for the study will be extracted from the medical record: age, weight, height, affected bone sites, Radiological/ biological activity data, sensorial deficit, medication. A demographic questionnaire will also be completed.
