Summary

There are studies in the literature aimed at supporting parents who care for children who have Cerebral Palsy. Among these, the study conducted on the use of mobile applications in supporting parents has attracted attention in recent years. When the studies on supporting parents were examined, it was found in one study that a mobile application designed for caregivers enabled parents to support their children's nutrition, bathing, toileting, playing, carrying, and movement training. As a result of this study, it was reported that the knowledge and skills of caregivers regarding the care of their children increased. It was emphasized in another study that mobile medicine applications that are developed for children who have disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy must have a drug list, drug name, drug reminder module, drug registration section, and additional characteristics. In a randomized controlled study, it was reported that a web-based daycare program designed for the children of mothers who had children with CP increased the quality of life of the mothers. In another study, it was explained to caregivers of children who had Cerebral Palsy that the application facilitated the daily care of children anytime and anywhere in a training module consisting of a mobile application with information about CP, nutrition, toilet, bath, transportation, games, and medication reminder modules. Studies conducted on the use of technology-based (telehealth, mobile applications, web-based education) healthcare service delivery, education, and consultancy services in supporting families in Turkey are limited. The present study aimed to reduce the care burden and stress of parents of children who had Cerebral Palsy and improve their quality of life with the mobile application developed with the support of nurses.

The purpose of the present study is to examine the effects of smartphone-supported nursing consultancy applied to mothers of children who have Cerebral Palsy receiving home healthcare services on their care burden, coping with stress, and quality of life
