Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the acceptability of a telerehabilitation intervention provided to parents of children with motor difficulties.
Material and methods: Sixteen parents of children were purposefully recruited to participate in semi-structured interviews aimed at assessing the acceptability of the telerehabilitation intervention. Interviews were analyzed thematically.
Results: All participants described evolving acceptability associated with their interactions with the web platform. The opportunities generated, suitability in relation to families' values and perceived effects positively impacted acceptability. The understanding and consistency of intervention delivery, the child's level of involvement, the associated parental burden of the intervention and the therapeutic alliances created also affected acceptability.
Conclusion: Our study findings support the acceptability of a telerehabilitation intervention for families of children with motor difficulties. Telerehabilitation seems to be more acceptable to families with children without suspected or confirmed diagnoses.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
