    Pediatric residents and parents share significant knowledge gaps regarding normal development and developmental disabilities. Improving resident training is crucial for better supporting families with developmental concerns.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Pediatrics
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Parents and pediatric residents often lack comprehensive knowledge of child development and disabilities.
    • Effective communication and support for families require a strong foundation of knowledge in developmental disorders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate and compare the knowledge of normal development and developmental disabilities in parents and pediatric residents.
    • To identify common misconceptions in both groups regarding developmental issues.
    • To assess pediatric residents' comfort levels in discussing specific developmental disabilities with parents.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire assessed knowledge in 91 parents and 20 pediatric residents at a university's Division for Disorders of Development and Learning.
    • Pediatric residents also completed questions on development and rated their comfort discussing specific disabilities.

  • Common misconceptions were identified based on incorrect responses from 25% or more of participants.

    • Main Results:

    • Pediatric residents scored significantly higher than parents on knowledge of development (19.4/23 vs. 15.9/23).
    • Both groups exhibited common misconceptions about normal development and disabilities, with 16 for parents and 15 for physicians.
    • Residents felt more comfortable discussing epilepsy than mental retardation or hyperactivity/learning disabilities.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant and similar knowledge deficits exist in both pediatric residents and parents concerning child development.
    • Enhanced training for pediatric residents is necessary to improve their understanding and support for families of children with developmental needs.
    • Addressing these knowledge gaps can lead to better care for both typically developing and developmentally disabled children.
