What is the Day-to-day Experience of Parents/Carers of Children or Adolescents With Severe Motor Disabilities Suffering From Spinal Pain?

Parents of disabled children suffer from back pain more frequently than the general population. At present, the literature does not identify any specific factors responsible for this suffering.

For patients suffering from chronic back pain, there are specific treatment programmes in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department, with a focus on pain management.

The investigators would like to develop specific programmes for parents/carers of children/adolescents with severe motor disabilities.

To achieve this, it is important to gain a better understanding of the factors that contribute to the onset of pain.

With this in mind, the investigators are conducting a qualitative study to gain a better understanding of the day-to-day lives of these parents.
