Abstract

Background: Scholars from multiple fields have shown that parents raising a child with mental and behavioral health concerns (MBHC) need additional support. We need parents to self-identify necessary supports as a basis for intervention planning.

Objectives: In this study, we examined what parents say they need from professionals to support their families.

Methodology: Occupational therapy faculty and students employed a strengths-based coaching approach to conduct a focus group with five parents. We conducted qualitative thematic analysis and used inductive coding to identify themes related to unmet self-identified needs of families. We refined themes through an iterative process and achieved 93% agreement after three rounds of coding.

Results: Four themes emerged from the transcript analysis: External Control, Internal Competence, Relating to Others, and Role of Self-Care.

Conclusion: Professionals must consider the unique needs identified by parents who have children with MBHC when planning interventions within our education and health care systems.

与有心理和行为健康问题的儿童家长进行焦点小组讨论。

背景：来自多个领域的学者已经表明，养育有心理和行为健康问题（MBHC）的孩子的父母需要额外的支持。我们需要父母自己确定必要的支持，作为干预计划的基础。目的：在这项研究中，我们调查了父母所说的他们需要专业人士来支持他们的家庭。方法：职业治疗教师和学生采用基于优势的辅导方法，与五位家长组成焦点小组。我们进行了定性主题分析，并使用归纳编码来确定与未满足的家庭自我识别需求相关的主题。我们通过迭代过程细化了主题，经过三轮编码，达成了93%的一致性。结果：成绩单分析中出现了四个主题：外部控制、内部能力、与他人的关系和自我关怀的作用。结论：专业人员在我们的教育和医疗保健系统内规划干预措施时，必须考虑有MBHC孩子的父母所确定的独特需求。
