%X The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of occupational performance coaching in mothers of children with cerebral palsy. A randomized controlled trial was used. Thirty mothers of children with cerebral palsy were randomly assigned to an occupational performance coaching group or control group. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and Sherer General Self-efficacy Scale were measured before and after the study. Occupational performance coaching had significant effects on participants¡¯ occupational performance and self-efficacy. In child-related goals, there was also a statistically significant difference between two groups (p£¿=£¿0.05). The results indicated that occupational performance coaching could be an effective intervention to increase the self-efficacy of mothers and improve the occupational performance of children and mothers of children with cerebral palsy. This trial is registered at NCT02915926 at clinicaltrials.go
