Article Abstract
Family-centered care is widely considered as best practice in pediatric rehabilitation. We aimed to investigate parents' perception of the family-centeredness of health care services for their children with cerebral palsy (CP) using the Arabic Measure of Processes of Care-20 (AR-MPOC-20). We also explored factors related to the child (sex, secondary impairments, and gross motor classification system level) and environment (family and residential region) that may influence the family-centeredness of services in Saudi Arabia. This was a cross-sectional study of 223 children with CP (age 6 months-18.2 years, M = 6.2 + 3.7 years) and their parents. Generally, parents perceived services as less family-centered. The lowest average score was for 'Providing General Information' (M = 2.9 ± 1.5), while 'Respectful and Supportive Care' had the highest average (M = 4.6 ± 1.8). Factors influencing the provision of family-centered care included being a female child and a mother's educational level. In addition, all subscales of AR-MPOC-20 differed by region, < 0.001, except for 'Providing Specific Information' which did not significantly differ by region = 0.163. Clinicians should consider the families' need for information regarding their children's condition and available services, with special attention to the mothers of female children and mothers with low levels of education.
