AIMS: Speech (i.e., resonance, nasal airflow and articulation) is one of the primary outcomes in individuals with a cleft of the palate with or without a cleft of the lip (CP ± L). Therefore, it is highly important to obtain information regarding parental perceptions and expectations concerning speech therapy-related cleft care. Literature investigating these parental perspectives is scarce. The present study investigated perceptions and expectations of parents of children with CP ± L concerning (outcomes of) speech therapy.
METHODS: Eleven parents of nine children with CP ± L were recruited from the multidisciplinary craniofacial team at the Ghent University hospital. A qualitative design, using semi-structured interviews, was used to collect data. Data were managed using NVIVO software version 10 and analyzed thematically.
RESULTS: The analysis resulted in three major themes: (1) service provision, (2) patient-centered care, and (3) seeking health care. Each of these identified themes were divided into three subthemes. Service provision included the effectiveness of the provided service, interdisciplinary collaboration, and expertise of the speech therapist. Information provision, child-friendly attitude and connection were categorized under patient-centered care. Seeking health care included affordability, practical considerations and the selection of a speech therapist.
CONCLUSION: The most prominent expectation of the parents was that they wanted to see their children progress during the speech intervention. This finding supported the importance of experienced and specialized speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the provision of care to children with a CP ± L. Moreover, the results showed that the majority of the parents wanted more clear and comprehensive information particularly about the treatment progress, the transfer to the home environment and the prognosis. The present findings might aid SLPs, and more generally all health professionals, in gaining insight into parental perceptions and expectations concerning speech therapy-related cleft care. Thereby, treatment quality might be improved.
