AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explores the psychosocial challenges faced by parents of children with craniosynostosis, revealing they experience higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression compared to the general population.
  • It involved an online survey in the UK targeting parents from Headlines Craniofacial Support, with a focus on both quantitative data and qualitative insights about their experiences and support needs.
  • The findings highlight the necessity for psychological screening and support for these families, along with the need for training for healthcare professionals to better assist parents dealing with craniosynostosis.

Article Abstract

Objective: While knowledge of the psychosocial impact of craniofacial conditions is growing, literature regarding the impact on parents remains limited. Parents of children born with a health condition may be at risk of experiencing a range of psychosocial challenges. This study conducted an initial investigation of psychosocial adjustment of parents of individuals with craniosynostosis to inform support provision for families.

Setting: An online UK-wide mixed-methods survey was distributed to members of Headlines Craniofacial Support.

Design: Quantitative data including standardized measures were analysed using descriptive statistics and independent samples -tests, and inductive content analysis was used for open-ended questions.

Participants: Mothers (n  =  109) and fathers (n  =  9) of individuals ages 3 months to 49 years with single suture (63%) or syndromic (33%) craniosynostosis participated.

Results: Compared to the general population, parents of individuals with craniosynostosis reported higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression; lower levels of resilience and optimism. Qualitative responses provided insight into parents' experiences of birth, diagnosis, healthcare provision, familial wellbeing, and relationships. Parents reported several unmet information and support needs, alongside a range of positive outcomes.

Conclusions: This study illustrates the potential long-term psychosocial implications for parents raising children with craniosynostosis. There is a need for routine psychological screening for family members and provision of appropriate psychological support for those at risk for distress. Non-specialist health professionals may benefit from additional training about craniofacial conditions so they are better equipped to support and refer families.
