Online Feeding Education for Fathers of Children With Feeding Problems

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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Fathers aged 18 years or older who have a typically developing child aged 3-6 years. * The child has not previously received feeding therapy or occupational therapy intervention. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of a serious psychiatric condition or a condition that may affect cognitive functioning in either the father or the child. * Missing more than one session of the training program. * Lack of access to digital devices or the internet.
