This study employed a child-centered approach to understand the subjective illness experiences of children with CL/P. Results revealed a dynamic interplay between their perception, experiences, and responses to CL/P, influenced by the immediate, proximal and distal environments. These insights provided a holistic-interactive framework to enhance the well-being of these children.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Upon completion, the participant will be able to learn how to use drawing-based semi-structured interviews in collecting children's perspectives and critically assess the validity and reliability of data collected through qualitative methods in study.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to learn the holistic-interactionistic framework as a tool for understanding the complex interplay between individual experiences and environmental influences in children.
Upon completion, the participant will be able to propose practical implications for healthcare professionals, social workers, and educators in supporting children with CL/P within family, school, and hospital settings.
