Parental Experience of Anal Dilations: Comparing Hospital Teaching with Home Implementation Using the Adapted AHPEQS-Parent Survey

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess how parental experiences of performing anal dilations for children with anorectal malformations change from hospital teaching to home implementation. Their survey results indicated a significant deterioration in experiences related to pain control, safety, support, and communication once parents transitioned to home care, highlighting the need for improved guidance and follow-up for families during this process.
