To quantify and explore parental perceptions of their experiences with their child's use of the Explorer Mini (EM) and a modified ride-on car (mROC) in young children with cerebral palsy.
Data were gathered throughout a multisite, randomized, counterbalanced AB crossover 16-week clinical trial, wherein all participants used device A (EM) and device B (mROC) for 8-weeks each. Semistructured parent interviews were conducted at baseline (T0), post-intervention period 1 (T1), and post-intervention period 2 (T2). The Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count program was used to objectively analyze the transcribed interviews.
Twenty-four child-parent dyads participated in the study. Parental perceptions were related to children's gross motor abilities, cognitive development scores, and device use order (EM-mROC or mROC-EM).
Parents were positive about a potential means of helping their children. While most preferred the EM, opinions were contingent on the PM device, device use order, and child-centered factors.
量化并探究父母对于其患有脑瘫的幼儿使用探索者迷你型(EM)和改良型乘用汽车(mROC)体验的看法。
数据收集于一项多中心、随机、平衡AB交叉的16周临床试验,其中所有参与者均分别使用设备A(EM)和设备B(mROC)各8周。在基线期(T0)、干预后时期1(T1)和干预后时期2(T2)进行了半结构化的家长访谈。使用语言查询与字数统计程序对转录的访谈进行客观分析。
24对儿童-家长二元组参与了该研究。家长的看法与儿童的粗大运动能力、认知发展得分以及设备使用顺序(EM-mROC或mROC-EM)有关。
父母对一种帮助孩子的潜在方式持积极态度。虽然大多数人更喜欢EM,但意见取决于PM设备、设备使用顺序和以儿童为中心的因素。
