Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this study is to explore and compare experiences of pain management strategies for children with CP from the perspectives of children themselves and their parents. Methods: A secondary inductive analysis of previously collected qualitative data was performed. Fourteen children with CP and one parent of each child were interviewed separately about the management of the child's pain. A dyadic data analysis was used to compare parents' and children's perspectives. Findings: The main thematic categories of pain management identified were self-care, psychological strategies, physical interventions and professional treatment. Experiences described by the child and parent differed within all participating dyads but to different degrees. On a group level, children described more use of psychological strategies than parents did. Parents described more professional treatment strategies. Conclusions: Parents and children described different experiences of pain management strategies, and both perspectives are needed to understand the child's situation.

Parenting Styles
Authoritarian Parenting
This style is strict and controlling, with little room for open dialogue. Authoritarian parents demand obedience and often enforce rules with minimal warmth. Children raised this way may lack social skills and initiative, usually comparing themselves to others unfavorably.
