  • Parents often experience emotional overwhelm, focusing on the perceived tragedy, while physicians prioritize delivering medical information.
  • A significant gap exists between parental and physician perspectives during diagnosis disclosure, leading to communication difficulties.
  • The uncertainty following a CP diagnosis can impede communication but also presents an opportunity for developing adaptive coping strategies.

    • Impact:

    • Findings can inform improved communication strategies for healthcare professionals delivering sensitive diagnoses.
    • Understanding differing perspectives can help bridge the gap between families and physicians, fostering better therapeutic alliances.
    • This research provides insights into enhancing support systems and coping mechanisms for families navigating a cerebral palsy diagnosis.
