Аннотация
PURPOSE: Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) is a relatively new diagnosis characterized by an abrupt and dramatic onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), together with neuropsychiatric symptoms. Very little research has been done to understand the experience of being a parent of a child with PANS. The current study aimed to explore aspects related to parental stress in parents of children with PANS.
METHOD: The study employed in-depth semi-structured individual interviews with 13 parents of children diagnosed with PANS. Parents were recruited via an announcement on the websites of patient organizations, and in waiting rooms at child medical clinics. An inductive qualitative content analysis approach was used as a guide for analysis of data.
RESULTS: The analysis of interviews identified five categories of parents' experiences of stress related to: (1) being effected by the symptoms; (2) experiencing the symptoms over and over again; (3) having no control; (4) obtaining medical treatment is challenging; and (5) managing problems. The results are discussed in relation to the Transactional Theory of Stress and Coping.
CONCLUSIONS: the study illuminates how parents' perceptions of the child's symptoms, parents' strategies for managing problems, as well as experiences related to healthcare providers, may increase or decrease parental stress.
