From July 2021 to December 2022, 44 CTEV children who undergoing Ponseti treatment in our hospital who received continuous nursing and telehealth education via WeChat (experimental group). In addition, during January 2020 to June 2021, 44 children with CTEV treated with Ponseti in our hospital who received routine nursing and traditional health education were selected as the control group. The incidence of complications, parental care burden and parental quality of life were compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was no significant difference in the demographic characteristics of patients and parents between the two groups, and the groups were comparable (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt;\u20090.05). The incidence of complications including plaster loosens, plaster falling off, pressure ulcer was significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt;\u20090.05). Parents in the intervention group experienced significantly lower care burdens compared to those in the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt;\u20090.05). The quality of life of parents in the intervention group was significantly higher than that for the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt;\u20090.05).
