Abstract:
We highlight five recent, high-quality, representative, qualitative articles about Spina Bifida and DSD care that contextualize their findings within the scope of a larger envisioned clinical project. Qualitative research is uniquely poised to address issues such as how to define treatment success and optimize fertility-related education and surgical experiences in DSD care. This approach is also well-suited to explore caregiver burden and financial toxicity in spina bifida care and identify areas for improvement. We encourage researchers to add a qualitative approach to their quantitative research to provide a more holistic, patient-centered view of their subject matter.
