Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A social media intervention for caregivers of children with motor delays improved knowledge and reduced parental distress. This approach is feasible and acceptable, offering valuable social connection and support.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Rehabilitation
  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Digital Health Interventions

Background:

  • Early motor delays impact children and families, with support gaps causing significant stress.
  • Caregiver support is crucial for managing developmental challenges and improving child outcomes.
  • Timely identification and intervention for motor delays are essential for long-term well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a social media-delivered intervention for caregivers of children with motor delays.
  • To assess the intervention's impact on caregiver knowledge, self-efficacy, and stress.
  • To explore the feasibility and acceptability of a social media-based support program.

Main Methods:

  • A single-blind, randomized controlled trial (Phase 1b) with a wait-list control group.

  • Participants included caregivers of children aged 3-36 months corrected age with motor delays.
  • Intervention delivered via Facebook private groups; assessments included knowledge, self-efficacy, and stress questionnaires.

    • Main Results:

    • The intervention group showed significantly greater knowledge gains and reduced parental distress scores (p<0.01).
    • Caregivers reported high feasibility and acceptability, valuing social connection and empowerment.
    • No significant effects were observed on caregiver self-efficacy; technical issues and study design were noted feedback points.

    Conclusions:

    • Social media interventions can effectively reduce stress and increase knowledge for families with children experiencing motor delays.
    • The social connection fostered by such platforms is highly valued by caregivers.
    • This approach is feasible and acceptable, supporting families while they await specialized early intervention services.
