Technology Based Motivation Program

A 10-week "Technology Based Motivation Program" was given to the intervention group. The website and four training modules were used with the children in the intervention group. Nine coaching interviews with each child (once a week) were conducted over WhatsApp. The children were encouraged to do progressive relaxation and breathing exercises at least twice a week, and eight therapeutic stories (once a week) were sent to the child's phone in the form of animation. Three training modules were used with the primary caregivers, and coaching interviews were conducted on WhatsApp twice during the program. Primary caregivers practiced progressive relaxation and breathing exercises at least twice a week. In addition, eight motivation messages were sent to the child and primary caregiver, and 24/7 consultancy was provided.
