The introduction of WHO's ICF framework for health and Canadian researchers' ‘F‐words’ (functioning, fitness, fun, friends, family and future) have significantly changed the field. To explore whether the F‐words ideas influenced parents' perspectives on their child's abilities and rehabilitation goals, this qualitative pilot study introduced the F‐words to Iranian parents with a child with a developmental disability.MethodsThis study was conducted in Tabriz, Iran, in 2023, using Iranian educational F‐words materials built on ideas available on the CanChild F‐words Knowledge Hub. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with five mothers of children <5 years old with a developmental disability before and after attending an ‘F‐words Awareness Session’ and analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsIn the preinterviews, six themes (and 20 subthemes) were identified: (i) routines (5); (ii) challenges (4); (iii) parental concerns (3); (iv) child's needs and priorities (3); (v) the role of parents in satisfying needs and challenges (2); and (vi) expectations of rehabilitation (3). In the postinterview, the same six themes and four additional subthemes emerged.ConclusionFindings from the pilot study showed that the intervention had an impact on the attitudes and behaviours of participants. Specifically, teaching about the F‐words reduced parents' emphasis on the concept of ‘normality’. Families' positive response to the ‘F‐words Awareness Session’ indicates their openness to incorporating this approach into their daily lives. These findings highlight the potential benefits of utilizing the F‐words in rehabilitation in Iran. Studies like these can serve as a foundation for developing effective strategies for integrating the F‐words into existing rehabilitation practices in Iran. 10.1111/cch.13321 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor |
