Overview

Brief Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a chronic condition which affects the development of motor function and posture, occurs as a result of injury or malformation in the developing central nervous system before, during or immediately after birth.

Depending on the health conditions accompanying motor and sensory problems of children with CP in the pre-school period, they are insufficient to be active in their daily lives, to play games, to spend time with their peers and to perform self-care activities.

In addition to care difficulties, economic difficulties, problems in reaching rehabilitation centers, many problems such as fear of their children's future, falling behind their peers, and who will take care of their children after them cause anxiety and stress for families. We can foresee that parenting attitudes may change in line with the anxiety and stress created by all these difficulties.

The investigator planned to do this study because we found that there is a need for studies examining the effects of the attitudes and anxiety levels of families of children with CP on children's activity and participation and social skills.

Detailed Description

in our study, the relationship between the attitudes and anxiety levels of parents with children with CP and the activity and participation levels of children will be examined. at the same time, it will be investigated whether there is a relationship between children's social skills and behaviors and physical activity and participation levels.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory

Time Frame: 15 minutes

It is a scale that evaluates the functional skills of the child and the help and manner of the caregiver, in which each part is evaluated separately as self-care, mobility and social function items.

Child and Adolescent Scale Of Participation (CASP)

Time Frame: 5 minutes

Participation measurement The CASP consists of 20 ordinal-scaled items and four subsections: 1) Home Participation 2) Community Participation 3) School Participation and 4) Home and Community Living Activities The 20 items are rated on a four-point scale: Age Expected (Full participation) to Unable.

Gross Motor Function Measurement

Time Frame: 10 minutes

Children's motor ability will be assessed to investigate the correlations between the motor functions and orthosis used by child. The GMFM-88 consists of 88 items examining children's gross motor movements. Each item is scored between 0 and 3 points. The higher the child gets, the more successful the child is in gross motor functions.

Bouchard Three-Day Physical Activity Record

Time Frame: at baseline

ıt was used to measure daily energy expenditure in children and adolescents.ıt questions the activities that the children in two days during the week and one day on the weekend.

Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test

Time Frame: 10 minutes

ıt was used to assess the function and quality of upper limb movements. This test has a total of 7 subdivisions, and the scoring of each section is calculated using a standardized formula. Each chapter is scored between 0-100 within itself. The first four section scores are used to calculate the total score. A high score indicates better the quality of the movement.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)(5 minutes)
  • Parental Attitude Scale(5 minutes)
  • Preschool and Kindergarten Behavior Scales(5 minutes)
