Objectives:
Caregivers of children with cerebral palsy (CP) have to spend a long time to take care of their children. We aimed to develop a user-friendly web-based intervention for training parents of children with CP and evaluate the process of development using modified CeHRes roadmap.
Materials & Methods:
The study was conducted from September 2016 to September 2017 in Tehran, Iran. We did it in four main steps including determining the needs of users, content development, design, operational development and evaluation.
Results:
The website for caregiver training provided nine general topics and had the possibility that the caregivers could determine their educational priorities. Moreover, the users could share their experiences with other users and could ask questions from an expert. Ten caregivers completed a usability questionnaire after four weeks of use. The average score of 70.5 out of 100 was shown among caregivers. The average score of all statements was above three on a Likert scale between 1 and 5.
Conclusion:
The website has the possibilities including registering caregivers of children with CP, the possibility to confirm registration with an SMS and the possibility to determine the caregiver educational priorities. It has the usability for training caregivers of children with CP.
