Title:

How do families with a child with Cerebral Palsy experience diagnosis and adapt to the first five years of life

 

Research Aims:

 

·       To expand practitioners’ understanding of the experience of diagnosis for families

• Discover what meanings were made by families, linked to the experience of diagnosis and adaption in the first five years of life
• Discover if there was anything which mothers believe may have assisted their families in psychologically adapting to the diagnosis 

 

What would participation involve:

 

• Sharing your and your family’s experience of receiving a diagnosis of cerebral palsy for one of the children in the family.

 

• As a participant, you would be asked to set aside about 2 hours of your time, at a time that would be convenient to you.  The research will involve you taking part in an interview via video or held in one of the rooms at the organisation’s offices.

 

• This research will be undertaken as part of a master's research dissertation, with the aim of publishing the research for other health professionals to read, once the marking process has been completed.
