| Abstract | ||||
| Feeding and eating are important activities that allow individuals to maintain adequate growth in children with cerebral palsy. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of social- platform program on mothers' caring regarding feeding of the children with cerebral palsy. Material and methods: Design: A quasi-experimental research design was adopted for this study. Setting: This study was applied in Egypt at Mansoura City. Sample: - A total sample of 200 mothers through the non-probability purposive sampling technique was selected using an online questionnaire via Google Form. Participants were equally and randomly allocated to a study and a control group, (with 100) patients for each one. Tools: Three tools were used: Tool I: Mother's knowledge assessment questionnaire regarding cerebral palsy, Tool II: Mother's reported practice regarding feeding children with cerebral palsy, and Tool III: Mother's satisfaction with the social-based program. Results: The study findings demonstrated that the majority of investigated mothers' knowledge and feeding practices were satisfactory and improved after the online social-based program compared to before the social-based program. The study result portrays that (80%) of the mothers in the experimental group compared to (70%) of them in the control group were of the same age from 20- ≤ 30 years old with a mean age (25.21 ± 2.02) (26.61 ± 3.43) respectively. Conclusion: The study concluded that an social- platform feeding program for children with cerebral palsy improved their mothers' knowledge and practice. The study and control groups differed statistically significantly. Recommendations: Provide mothers with a well-planned social- platform program to increase their knowledge and practice of feeding children with cerebral palsy. | ||||
