Exploring the Influence of Online Videos on Parents or Caregivers of Children with Developmental Delays
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Developmental Delays and Disabilities (DDDs) refer to conditions where
children are slower or unable to reach developmental milestones compared to
typically developing children. This can cause significant stress for parents,
leading to social isolation and loneliness. Online videos, particularly those
on YouTube, aim to support these parents and caregivers by offering guidance
and assistance. Studies show that parents of children with DDDs create videos
on YouTube to enhance authenticity and build connections. However, there is
limited knowledge about how other parents with children with DDDs perceive and
are impacted by these videos. Our study used a mixed-method approach to
annotate and analyze more than fifteen hundred YouTube videos on children's
DDDs. We found that these videos provide crucial informational content and
offer mental and emotional support through shared personal experiences.
Comments analysis revealed a strong sense of community among YouTubers and
viewers. Interviews with parents of children with DDDs showed that they find
these videos relatable and essential for managing their children's diagnosis
and treatments. We concluded by discussing platform-centric design implications
for supporting parents and other caregivers of children with DDDs.
