What this trial studies
This study focuses on providing motivational interviewing based on the Calgary Family Intervention Model to parents of children with cerebral palsy (CP). It aims to enhance parental self-efficacy, which is crucial for managing the caregiving challenges associated with CP. By improving parents' confidence and coping strategies, the intervention seeks to alleviate the stress that comes with caring for a child with developmental disabilities. The study will involve parents of children aged 6-18 years who can communicate effectively in Turkish.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are parents of children aged 6-18 with cerebral palsy who can read and write in Turkish.
Not a fit: Patients who may not benefit from this study include those with communication difficulties or who are not literate.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve the coping abilities and overall well-being of parents caring for children with cerebral palsy.
How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific application of the Calgary Family Intervention Model in the context of CP caregiving is relatively novel.
