Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

PURPOSE:

To estimate the relationships between the child, parents, and family factors and parent stress and QoL among parents of children with diplegic CP.

BACKGROUND:

Cerebral palsy (CP) is considered the primary reason of motor impairment among children worldwide. Compared to parents of typically developing children, parents of children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience higher levels of stress and reduced quality of life (QoL).

HYPOTHESES:

There is no relation between the level of functional impairment among children with diplegic CP and their parental stress and QOL.

RESEARCH QUESTION:

Is there a relationship between the level of functional impairment among children with diplegic CP and the degree of their parental stress and quality of life?

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1 Group of parents of children with diplegic cerebral palsy

Parents of children between the ages of 2 and 4.8 who had been diagnosed with diplegic CP and were in a stable clinical and medical state will be included in this study. However, parents of children with behavioral problems, a history of ongoing heart disease, a botulinum toxin injection within the six months previous to the study, chronic chest disease, significant visual or auditory impairment, or parents with limited literacy will not allowed to participate in the study

No interventions assigned to this group
