The aim of this process evaluation was to better understand the practice implications of an intervention designed to train parents to massage their children with Cerebral Palsy. Seventy parents completed the Training and Support Programme (TSP) with their children. Data were collected by Home Record Sheets and Observation Sheets completed by parents and therapists, respectively. Implications for practice included therapist's sensitivity to the needs of each parent and child, the need for flexibility in the delivery of the TSP, and the implementation of strategies to ensure the TSP ran smoothly. Such strategies may be of value in the delivery of other similar interventions.

Background: In the 21st century, disasters (particularly earthquakes, which remain the leading cause of death) continue to be among the foremost issues requiring global emergency response. While the impact of advancing technologies on the environmental and human damage caused by earthquakes is still a subject of debate, search and rescue (SAR) teams and emergency departments (ED), specifically emergency physicians (EPs), play a crucial role in the most acute management of the effects of these earthquakes on human life. This study aims to examine the injury dynamics of two catastrophic earthquakes that occurred in Turkey 24 years apart from the perspective of EPs, utilizing archival records from the SAR teams in which EPs served.
