Brief Summary

This study will be done to determine the prevalence of Parental Burnout among mothers of children with cerebral palsy.

Determine the relation between Parental Burnout syndrome and the motor function levels of children with cerebral palsy.

Detailed Description

Cerebral palsy is a significant physical disability in children, affecting 2-5 children per 1,000 live births globally. The prevalence varies between countries and is higher in low- and middle-income countries. Studies suggest a relationship between children's motor impairment and parental stress, which can lead to illness, negative family dynamics, and neglect. Parenting stress and pressure have increased, leading to exhaustion and burnout among parents. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of Parental Bowel Syndrome among mothers of children with CP and its relation to motor function levels.
