“…Bodur et al reported that parental attitudes of children with stutter differ significantly from those without stuttering. [30] Adriaensens et al reported that adolescents with stuttering families experience high levels of emotional tension, family conflict, and difficulty in managing their children's frustration. [31] Parents of preschool children with stuttering declared that their children were adversely affected by stuttering in some areas, but their quality of life was not generally affected.…”

Objective: Stuttering is a communication disorder that can affect an individual's life in many ways. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of stuttering on children and adolescents' health-related quality of life (HRQoL).Methods: This is a cross-sectional type of case-control study. Thirty-six children and adolescents diagnosed with stuttering according to DSM-5 and 37 age-and gender-matched healthy children and adolescents were included in the study. The child and adolescent's HRQoL in both groups was evaluated using the KIDSCREEN-52 self and proxy reports.Results: No significant difference was observed in the physical well-being, psychological well-being, moods and emotions, self-perception, autonomy, parental relationships and home life, financial resources, social support and peers, school environment, social acceptance-bullying dimensions in the KIDSCREEN-52 questionnaire between-group comparison of both report and proxy results. The parental score reports were found to be statistically significantly lower than the children with stuttering in social acceptance-bullying dimension. In contrast, the children's scores in the dimensions of physical well-being, self-perception, parental relationships and home life, social support and peers and school environment were found to be statistically significantly lower than their parents. Conclusion:According to the study results, it was observed that the HRQoL of children between the ages of 8-18 who stutter was not different from healthy children. Since factors affecting the HRQoL of children may be affected by developmental processes, the necessity of longitudinal assessment of the HRQoL of stuttering children should be considered.

“…This study does add to the body of evidence that geographical differences can impact parental reactions to stuttering. For example, while Lau et al (2012) found that Australian parents of stuttering children have similar parenting styles to those of other parents, Bodur et al's (2019) study of Turkish parents found that parents expect greater control of and obedience from their stuttering child. The extent to which parenting styles are correlated with attitudes toward stuttering is not clear, particularly in cross-cultural contexts.…”

“…Such attitudes may have consequences for how stuttering children are parented. A study of Turkish parents using the Parental Attitude Research Instrument suggests that parents of stuttering children expect more obedience and exert a high degree of maternal control over their child as compared to parents of nonstuttering children (Bodur et al., 2019). These results provide evidence that attitudes toward stuttering can impact parenting styles for parents of stuttering children and may affect the child–parent relationship.…”

BackgroundParents play a central role in the treatment of childhood stuttering. Addressing parental attitudes toward stuttering is helpful therapeutically. The extent to which differences in attitudes toward stuttering exist on the basis of sex, geographical region and parental status (e.g., parent of a stuttering child, parent of a nonstuttering child, nonparent) is unclear. Many studies investigating such factors have used the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes–Stuttering (POSHA–S) questionnaire. A large POSHA–S database has collected responses from over 20 000 people from 49 countries.AimsThe aim of this study was to use the POSHA‐S database to examine the extent to which the following variables influence attitudes toward stuttering: (a) parents’ sex (mothers vs. fathers), (b) geographic region (Middle East vs. Europe and North America), (c) parents’ children (stuttering vs. nonstuttering) and (d) parental status (parents versus nonparents).Methods & ProceduresData used in this study were extracted from selected, relevant studies that administered the POSHA–S to respondents. The Overall Stuttering Scores were compared on the basis of sex and parent status (i.e., mothers and fathers; nonparent women and men) and were then compared within and across the two geographical areas. Group comparisons were performed using analysis of variance followed by independent t tests, and Cohen's d was calculated to determine effect sizes.Outcomes & ResultsStatistically significant differences were observed upon the basis of geographical region. In general, male parents and nonparents tend to have more positive stuttering attitudes among the Middle Eastern samples while female parents and nonparents tend to show more positive attitudes in European and North American samples in the POSHA–S database. Effect sizes were small for all comparisons.Conclusions & ImplicationsThe effect of geographic region and culture may predict sex‐based differences among mothers’ and fathers’ attitudes toward stuttering; however, the clinical significance is unclear. Additional research is needed to better understand how children who stutter are affected by their parents’ attitudes toward stuttering.What this paper addsWhat is already known on this subject The research clearly indicates that attitudes toward stuttering vary according to geographical region. Less clear is whether mothers and fathers from geographically diverse backgrounds hold different attitudes toward stuttering and the extent to which parental status (being a parent, parent of a child who stutters or nonparent) affects attitudes toward stuttering.What this study adds This study's findings confirm that geographical differences do influence attitudes toward stuttering. Male parents and nonparents tend to have equal or more positive attitudes toward stuttering in Middle Eastern samples, whereas non‐Middle Eastern female parents and nonparents tend to show hold more positive attitudes.What are the clinical implications of this work? In addition to being culturally sensitive when working with parents of children who stutter, clinicians should also consider that mothers and fathers may have some differences in attitudes and behaviours toward their child's stuttering. These differences should be considered when designing treatment plans. It should also be noted that, despite statistical significance, the effect sizes in this study were low, suggesting that further research as well as close collaboration with parents of children who stutter is warranted.
