The Feeding/Swallowing Impact Survey (FS-IS) was developed to assess the impact of caring for children with deglutition disorders. The 18-item questionnaire is designed to measure and improve the understanding of caregiver issues using three subscales: (i) Daily Activities, (ii) Worry, and (iii) Feeding Difficulties. The FS-IS has been validated as an instrument that may help clinicians detect specific factors that influence caregiver Health-Related Quality of Life, identify caregivers who might benefit from additional support, and ultimately improve the care of children with feeding/swallowing disorders.
