Highlights |
• | Satisfaction with motor rehabilitation for cerebral palsy was reported nationwide in France. |
• | Satisfaction determinants were mainly organisation of care and practice features. |
• | Pain management, therapeutic alliance and goal-setting were strong determinants. |
• | Coordination of care and physical therapist training in cerebral palsy improved satisfaction. |
• | More severe motor impairment and being an adolescent contributed to lower satisfaction. |
Abstract |
Background |
User satisfaction is a key indicator of healthcare quality.
Objective |
We aimed to identify factors associated with satisfaction with motor rehabilitation (MR) in children and adults with cerebral palsy at a national level, using determinants related to patient characteristics, healthcare organisation and practice features.
Methods |
This study was part of ESPaCe, a national survey aimed at documenting the views of individuals with cerebral palsy and their families regarding MR services via a questionnaire, developed by a multidisciplinary group. The ESPaCe questionnaire included the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), whose total score was the primary outcome of this study. Survey participation was promoted nation-wide. The questionnaire could be completed by the person with cerebral palsy or their main carer. Analysis included the description of determinants across CSQ-8 quartiles and generalised linear modelling of the CSQ-8 score.
Results |
From June 2016 to June 2017, 1010 eligible participants (354 children, 145 adolescents and 511 adults) responded to the questionnaire, and 750 completed the CSQ-8. Univariate analysis suggested that multiple factors affected satisfaction with MR. On multivariate sequential adjustment, the factors that decreased satisfaction (all P<0.001) were being an adolescent, Gross Motor Function Classification System levels IV/V, frequent pain, receiving physiotherapy in private practice and poor access to a physiotherapist with specific CP training. Factors that increased satisfaction (all P<0.001) were presence of an MR coordinator, exchanges between healthcare professionals, provision of information regarding MR organisation, and goal setting and effective pain management by the physiotherapist. Organisation and practice features improved the predictive ability of patient characteristics (R2=0.40).
Conclusion |
This study suggests that measures to improve the quality of healthcare for individuals with cerebral palsy should focus on improving pain management by the physiotherapist, establishing a therapeutic alliance, and greater provision of CP-specific practice education for healthcare professionals.
