Introduction: Communication disorders in children can change the parents' lives. Some quantitative studies have been conducted in this regard and investigated the effects of children's disorders on parents' quality of life using the questionnaires. However, these quantitative studies cannot comprehensively determine the extent of the impacts of such disorders in children on parents' quality of life. Therefore, the study aimed to qualitatively explain the effects of communication disorders in children on parents' quality of life.
Methods: Fourteen parents who had children with communication disorders consented to participate in semi-structured interviews. Participants were selected purposefully and the sampling was continued until data was saturated. The interviews were transcribed and then analyzed through qualitative content analysis.
Results: Qualitative content analysis of the interviews extracted five main themes including physical effects, psychological effects, economic effects, family-dynamics effects, and job-educational effects. Each of these themes consists of several subthemes.
Conclusions: The present study revealed the depth of the negative influences of children's communication disorders on the quality of life of their parents. Screening for parental quality of life and providing family support systems for parents of children with communication disorders are warranted based on these findings. Moreover, findings of the current study can be used for the development of new instruments for measuring quality of life or caregiver burden among parents of children with communication disorders.
