abstract: 'Objective: Parents'' perceived benefits and barriers to participation in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cognitively stimulating activities may help explain why income-related
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discrepancies in early and frequent participation in such activities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
exist. We sought to develop an improved understanding of attitudes and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
beliefs surrounding play among families who live in predominantly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low-income urban communities. Methods: Using qualitative methods, focus
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups were conducted with parents of children 2 weeks to 24 months of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
age who attended a primary care clinic serving predominantly low-income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
urban communities. Discussions were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Thirty-five parents
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participated in 6 focus groups. Participants were 61\% female and 94\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nonwhite; 71\% had children who received public health insurance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Analyses revealed 7 major themes that mapped onto the Health Belief
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Model''s core domains of perceived need, barriers, and cues to action:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) play as important for developing parent-child relationships, (2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
toy- and media-focused play as important for developmental and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educational benefit, (3) lack of time due to household and work demands,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(4) lack of knowledge regarding the importance of play, (5)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
media-related barriers, (6) need for reminders, and (7) need for ideas
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for play. Conclusion: Caregivers of young children describe many
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important benefits of play, yet they have misconceptions regarding use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of toys and media in promoting development as well as notable barriers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to participating in play, which may be opportunities for intervention.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Public health programs may be more effectively implemented if they
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consider these attitudes to develop new or refine existing strategies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for promoting parent-child learning activities.'
