Investigation of the Relationship Between the Use of Social Media and Functional Level in Children With CP (IRoSMFLCP)

August 22, 2021 updated by: Mintaze Kerem Gunel, Hacettepe University

Investigation of the Relationship Between the Use of Social Media and Gross Motor Function, Hand Function, Communication, Eating and Drinking and Visual Function Children With Cerebral Palsy in Turkey.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between screen usage time and problematic social media use in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) with motor function, hand function, speech and vision function.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Problematic Media Use Measure, Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire were administered to 158 parents of children with CP. In order to determine the screen usage time, parents were asked about the screen usage time of their children on weekdays and weekends, and the average usage time in a week was calculated. Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Manual Abilities Classification System (MACS), Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS), Communication Function Classification System (CFCS),and Visual Function Classification System (VFCS) were used to determine functional levels.The structural equation model was used for statistical analysis.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

2 years to 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Problematic media use of children with CP
The participants in the current study were parents of children with CP aged 4-18 years. They were recruited at the Hacettepe University Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Faculty Cerebral Palsy and Pediatric Rehabilitation Unit and Special Education and Rehabilitation Centers. The inclusion criteria were having a child with CP aged 2-18 years without severe cognitive problems, being a primary caregiver.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Problematic Media Use Measure
Time Frame: At baseline
Problematic Media Use Measure (PMUM) was developed by Domoff et al. to detect problematic media use in children aged 4-11. Both the long form and the short form of the scale have only one factor structure. Items are scored on a Likert scale from 1 (never) to 5 (always). PMUM total score is obtained by taking the average of scores from all items. High scores from the scale indicate problematic use. The scale, which is applied by parents considering behavior of the child, tries to detect not the problematic use of a specific media tool, but generally the problematic use of visual media tools (such as television, computer, tablet, phone), in other words, screen addiction.
At baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Strength and Difficulties Questionniare
Time Frame: At baseline
Strength and Difficulties Questionniare (SDQ) is used to screen emotional and behavioral problems. The scale, which consists of 25 items in total, has 5 sub-dimensions: attention deficit and hyperactivity, behavioral problems, emotional problems, peer problems and social behaviors. Scale scoring was made as "0 (not correct)", "1 (partially correct)", "2 (absolutely correct)" for each statement. Turkish validity and reliability study has been done

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
June 1, 2020

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
