Online Feeding Education for Fathers of Children With Feeding Problems
**Examining the Effects of Online Awareness Training for Fathers on Parental Attitudes and Children's Eating Behaviors in Feeding Problems: A Pilot Study**
This pilot study aims to investigate the effects of a four-week online feeding awareness training program for fathers of typically developing children aged 3-6 years. The study will examine changes in fathers' parental self-efficacy and feeding attitudes, as well as their children's eating and mealtime behaviors.
The main research question is whether an online awareness training program for fathers can improve parental self-efficacy and feeding attitudes and contribute to positive changes in children's eating behaviors. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and at a four-week follow-up.

Parental Self-Efficacy Scale
Lasso di tempo: Baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the 4-week intervention (Week 4), and 4 weeks after completion of the intervention (Week 8).
|
The Parental Self-Efficacy Scale is a 17-item, 7-point Likert-type measure used to assess parental self-efficacy.
Each item is scored from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), resulting in a total score ranging from 17 to 119.
Higher scores indicate greater parental self-efficacy.

Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the 4-week intervention (Week 4), and 4 weeks after completion of the intervention (Week 8).
|
The Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) is a parent-reported measure used to assess children's eating and mealtime behaviors.
Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always).
The Turkish adaptation evaluates the 25 items related to the child's feeding behaviors.
Higher scores indicate more problematic eating behaviors and greater feeding difficulties.
|
Baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the 4-week intervention (Week 4), and 4 weeks after completion of the intervention (Week 8).

Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire
Lasso di tempo: Baseline (pre-intervention), immediately after the 4-week intervention (Week 4), and 4 weeks after completion of the intervention (Week 8).
|
The Parental Feeding Style Scale is a 27-item, 5-point Likert-type measure used to assess parents' attitudes and behaviors related to feeding their children.
Each item is scored from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), with total scores ranging from 27 to 135.
Higher scores indicate a greater presence of the corresponding parental feeding style.
The Turkish version includes four feeding-style dimensions assessing parental control, guidance, and emotional responses during feeding.
