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.
