摘要

Abstract

PurposeTo explore the parental factors that impede early intervention for strabismus and thus identify strategies for improving access to specialized care.MethodsThis hospital-based cross-sectional study included 110 parents of children under 19 years with strabismus receiving treatment at the squint clinic of a tertiary health care center in north India. A pre-validated survey questionnaire was administered to the participants

that had a section about the socio-demographics of the participants

another section addressed the parental knowledge about strabismus about diagnosis

and the need for an eye examination. It also sought information about referral source

the felt need for squint examination

and reasons for not seeking treatment.ResultsA total of 110 parents/guardians of strabismus patients (59 exotropes and 51 esotropes) were interviewed using a survey questionnaire. Parents themselves identified 80% of cases

and a substantial link (

0.0001) was found between the education status of parents and the age of identification of strabismus. Fear of surgical outcomes (41.79%) was a significant barrier to timely surgery with a higher percentage of parents expr

essing fear of surgical outcomes (

= 0.025). The cost of surgery (34.33%) and the non-availability of facilities (23.88%) also delayed the intervention.ConclusionsIt is essential to educate parents about the importance of strabismus therapy at an appropriate time

stressing its reconstructive rather than merely cosmetic nature

as there are notable gaps in their knowledge. Also

we need to do away with the fear of surgical outcomes of surgical interventions for strabismus.
