<b>TESTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRAINING ON LINEAR PROGRAMMED DIETARY PLAN; FOOD PREPARATION AND FEEDING PRACTICE AMONG CAREGIVERS OF CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY IN ZANZIBAR-DATA SET</b>

This data set was collected at the study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of the training on linear programmed dietary plan, food preparation, and feeding practice among caregivers of children with Cerebral palsy in Zanzibar. A randomized control trial; randomly selected and grouped into control and intervention groups. Involves 106 caregivers of children with CP, 53 in the control and 53 in the intervention groups. The intervention process consists of two stages: i) developing a linear programmed plan and ii) adapting the training material for food preparation and feeding practice and then training caregivers on the linear programmed dietary plan, food preparation, and feeding practice. Training Intervention was done in one month gives the result. Baseline and endline knowledge, attitude and food preparation and feeding practices skills were assessed and analysed using STATA version 14. Difference-In-Difference (DID) analysis was performed using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) to assess the effect of an intervention (a linear programmed dietary plan, food preparation, and feeding practices) on knowledge, attitude, and skills among caregivers of children with cerebral palsy in Zanzibar. Post-period (endline) measurements were taken two months after the baseline. All statistical tests were be two-sided, and P&lt;0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.本数据集采集自一项旨在开发并验证线性程序化饮食方案、食物制备及喂养实践培训对桑给巴尔脑瘫（Cerebral palsy, CP）患儿照护者的有效性的研究。该研究采用随机对照试验（Randomized Control Trial, RCT）设计，将受试者随机划分为对照组与干预组，共纳入106名脑瘫患儿照护者，其中对照组与干预组各53人。 干预流程分为两个阶段：其一，制定线性程序化饮食方案；其二，针对食物制备与喂养实践开发适配的培训材料，并向照护者开展线性程序化饮食方案、食物制备及喂养实践相关培训。本次干预周期为1个月，干预完成后即获取研究结果。 研究在基线期与终末期分别评估了照护者的知识、态度、食物制备与喂养实践技能，并采用Stata 14（STATA）软件进行数据分析。采用广义估计方程（Generalized Estimating Equations, GEE）进行双重差分（Difference-In-Difference, DID）分析，以评估干预措施（线性程序化饮食方案、食物制备及喂养实践）对桑给巴尔脑瘫患儿照护者的知识、态度及技能的影响。终末期测评于基线测评后2个月开展。所有统计检验均采用双侧检验，以P<0.05作为统计学显著性判定标准。
