“…Furthermore, the parents felt more competent in their parenting occupations after the intervention. These findings are aligned with previous studies revealing the effectiveness of OPC [ 9 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ] and tele-coaching [ 19 , 20 , 22 ]. The present study provides evidence that OPC delivered via tele-coaching can be applied to Korean toddlers and parents.…”

“…The participants in this study were the parents of toddlers aged 23 to 30 months, whereas previous studies using OPC included the parents of children aged three years and older [ 6 , 9 , 14 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. The present study showed that OPC could be effective in toddlers by focusing on the occupational role of parents in supporting children’s participation and development.…”

“…First, this study demonstrated that OPC can be applied in Korea. The effectiveness of OPC for children and parents has been reported in various countries such as Australia [ 9 , 19 ], Canada [ 18 ], Hong Kong [ 16 ], India [ 17 ], and Iran [ 20 ]. Our study and previous studies suggest that OPC could be effective across cultures.…”

“…Through OPC, parents reported that they learned better skills and strategies, gained insights into themselves and their children, and became more confident and calm [ 6 ]. OPC can be effective for children with occupational performance challenges, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay, and dyslexia [ 9 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Improvements by OPC were observed not only for the goals targeted in an intervention but also for goals that were not addressed, indicating a generalized effect [ 9 ].…”

Telehealth has been applied to occupational therapy practice since the COVID-19 pandemic, but no research has been conducted on the use of telehealth to improve the occupational performances of Korean children and parents. This study explored the possibility of tele-coaching parents to improve toddlers’ occupational performance and parenting competence in Korea. Three mothers of toddlers received Occupational Performance Coaching (OPC) via videoconference. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC) were used pre- and post-intervention to measure the occupational performances of the toddlers and parents and parenting competence. Post-intervention interviews were conducted to explore the parents’ experiences with the tele-coaching and analyzed by content analysis. Most of the COPM scores showed a significant increase. The PSOC scores also increased. The mothers reported their learning, the changes in their children, the appropriateness of the coaching, and the usefulness of the tele-coaching delivery. The findings demonstrate the potential of tele-coaching as a practical intervention for Korean children and parents.
