Plain-language summary
Abstract Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of a training program prepared on the basis of the Social Learning Theory for teaching self-care and social competence behaviors in preschool children.
Design and method: The sample of the study consisted of 41 in the intervention and 41 in the control group. Data were collected using the Demographic Assessment Form, the Self-Care Skills Assessment Scale and the Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation-30 Scale. Using five animated films created on the basis of the Social Learning Theory for fostering children self-care and social competence behaviors, a total of 20 training sessions were conducted with intervention group over a period of four months. Self-care and social competence scales were administered at the end of each month. Ultimately, children were assessed a total of five times.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Since this trial has already been completed, would it be possible to review any published results or findings about whether the social learning theory-based education program actually improved self-care behaviors and social skills in school children?
2This trial focused on school-aged children — given my child's specific age, developmental stage, or any existing challenges, does my doctor think the type of skills this program aimed to build would be relevant and appropriate for them?
3Since this study is listed as Phase NA, meaning it was an educational or behavioral intervention rather than a drug trial, what would my doctor suggest as next steps if the results showed this approach was effective — are there similar programs available locally?
4The trial measured two specific outcomes — self-care behaviors and social skills — so I'm wondering whether my doctor thinks my child has needs in both of these areas, or just one, and how that might affect whether a program like this would be a good fit?
5Are there already established or standard educational programs for building self-care and social skills in children that my doctor would recommend comparing against whatever this trial found?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
