Abstract

BackgroundThis systematic review aims to synthesise the qualitative evidence exploring parents’ experiences of children with acquired brain injury (ABI) undergoing neurorehabilitation during the first year post-injury.MethodsA systematic review of qualitative research was conducted using thematic synthesis with Thomas and Harden’s approach. The population, exposure and outcome model was used for the search strategy. The electronic databases Ovid Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus and PsycINFO were searched from 2009 to 2023. The review included qualitative and mixed-method studies published in English only. Grey literature was excluded. There were no geographical restrictions. Reporting within the review followed the Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research guideline. The studies’ quality was appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tool.ResultsThree studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the synthesis, representing the experiences of 30 parents. The quality assessment showed that the three included studies met most quality indicators. Following thematic synthesis, four analytical themes were identified: school unpreparedness, parents as advocates and navigators, parents as monitors, and parents recognising the impact of ABI on their child. The reviewers proposed a group of recommendations for services reviewing their parental support.ConclusionThis review highlights some challenges parents of children diagnosed with ABI experience during their child’s neurorehabilitation journey. This review has suggested potential improvements that could be made in paediatric neurorehabilitation services when reviewing their parental support and care pathways. These will ultimately influence parents’ and children’s experience of paediatric neurorehabilitation services.
