Data from: The effect of Snoezelen intervention on problem behaviors in children with cerebral palsy: A randomized controlled trial

Aim: To evaluate the effect of Snoezelen intervention on problem behaviors
in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and to analyze its correlation with
motor function, as measured by the Gross Motor Function Classification
System (GMFCS). Method: A randomized controlled trial with 28 children
(aged 2-5 years) with CP was conducted. The experimental group received
Snoezelen intervention three times a week for four weeks. Problem
behaviors were assessed using the CBCL 1.5-5 and K-PSI, and motor function
was assessed using the GMFCS. Results: The experimental group showed a
significant reduction in emotionally reactive behavior (p = 0.044). A
strong negative correlation (Spearman's ρ = -0.744, p = 0.002) was
found between GMFCS scores and changes in emotionally reactive behavior.
Interpretation: The Snoezelen intervention may reduce emotional reactivity
and enhance emotional stability in children with CP, although its
effectiveness may vary depending on the level of motor impairment. Further
research is needed to confirm these findings.
