| Abstract: | Introduction: Pediatric physiotherapy mainly helps improve functional recovery and prevents complications related to neurological, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and burn disorders in children, thus enhancing their quality of life. In children, the success of physiotherapy depends on caregiver involvement because caregivers support and motivate the children to practice certain exercises that may have been prescribed during and outside therapy sessions. Caregivers' perception and understanding of physiotherapy influence adherence to treatment; positive perceptions support consistency and better outcomes, while deterrents include time constraints, discomfort of the child, and ignorance of proper procedures. Despite its importance, the available literature on the perception and adherence of caregivers within a pediatric physiotherapy setup is scant, especially in developing healthcare systems. The present study was thus undertaken to document caregivers' perception about pediatric physiotherapy and their adherence to home exercise programs, with the ultimate aim of augmenting caregiver-therapist collaboration for improving rehabilitation outcomes among children. Objectives: The overall purpose of this study was to measure the caregiver's perception level regarding pediatric physiotherapy and their level of adherence to such exercises. Additional goals of this study were to identify the level of caregiver involvement in decision-making in relation to the child's physiotherapy treatment, explore the influences on caregivers’ adherence to the home exercise plan, and analyze challenges faced by the caregiver when helping the child with the exercises. Methods: The study design used in this particular study was a cross-sectional observational study among the 76 caregivers of children receiving physiotherapy from a pediatric physiotherapy clinic. The study involved gathering data from the caregivers using a structured questionnaire after seeking their informed consent. The responses were then measured by a MPOC Questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistical analysis in percentages representation. Results: The results showed that most of the caregivers have a positive perception about pediatric physiotherapy, and they have shown good compliance with the exercise program. High levels of involvement and positive attitudes of the caregivers were seen, and no difficulty was reported during therapy. Conclusion: The results showed that most of the caregivers have a positive perception about pediatric physiotherapy, and they have shown good compliance with the exercise program. High levels of involvement and positive attitudes of the caregivers were seen, and no difficulty was reported during therapy. |
