This two-group pretest-posttest design experimental study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a caregiver online training program for promoting fine motor development in children with developmental delay. Participants were 60 caregivers of children with developmental delay in fine motor skills. They all met the inclusion criteria and were assigned into the experimental group (n=30) and the control group (n=30) using convenience sampling. The research instruments consisted of a perceived self-efficacy program, as well as surveys on knowledge, perceived self-efficacy, and caregiver’s satisfaction. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was equal to 0.86 and 0.96 for the program and survey, respectively. As for the knowledge part of survey, it yielded a Kuder-Richardson (KR-20) equal to 0.80. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, paired t-test, and Independence t-test. The results were as follows.
1. Among caregivers who participated in the experimental group and received the training program, the average knowledge and understanding scores for promoting fine motor development in children with developmental delay were significantly higher after than before (P<0.001).
2. After participation in the training program, the experimental group was satisfied with the training program in all 3 aspects, namely information/content, presentation, and overview of the training program (M = 45.20, SD = 6.39).
The result of this study could be used for further online program in promoting children development among caregivers.
