Abstract:
Introduction and significance of the study: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological illness that consists of a group of disorders that impairs a child's capacity to control his or her body motions. Cerebral palsy is regarded as the most severe form of physical disability affecting children. Feeding difficulties are highly frequent in children with CP, with 30 to 80 percent of challenged adults having trouble feeding. Malnutrition is caused by a mix of conditions that result in lower food and nutrient intake, either directly or indirectly. Mothers of children with CP are essential members of the professional team; their most significant duty is a lifelong dedication to their children. They may feel helpless, therefore they require knowledge, assistance, and support in the rehabilitation program, as well as learning to manage the practical difficulties, which can disrupt the developing relationship with their children. The technological revolution has created new opportunities for increasing access to effective therapies for medical diseases. Online treatment may be readily accepted since it can save money while also providing the benefits of flexibility in place, time, and cost. Furthermore, technology-enabled home education helps persons with chronic diseases to combine pathology management with their daily social lives. Aim of the Study: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of social- platform program on mothers' caring regarding feeding of the children with cerebral palsy. Subjects and Methods: Research design: A quasi-experimental research design was adopted for this study. Setting: This study was applied in Egypt at Mansoura City. Subjects: A purposive sample of 200 mothers 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. Data collection 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: 81% of the study group and 77% of the control group were of the same age from 30- ≤ to 40 groups with a mean age (25.21 ± 7.26) (26.61 ± 10.34) respectively. As regards the level of education, 52.0% & 46% of mothers in the study and control groups respectively had a university education. There were no statistically significant differences between the study and control group mothers regarding all aspects of demographic data. There was no statistically significant difference between control and study group subjects pre- social- platform program implementation regarding mother`s total knowledge. While there was a highly statistically significant difference between groups immediately post, and post two months of the social- platform program implementation in total knowledge with (**p≤ 0.001). There was a highly statistically significant difference and improvement between the feeding practices level result of mothers' post the social- platform program implementation with a p. value = <0.001. It was observed also, that 14% of mothers in the control group had good feeding practice levels compared to 82% in the study group.
