Brief Summary

Having a physically disabled child presents serious challenges for parents, not only in the practice of daily living, but also on a psychological and emotional level. In addition to meeting the constant and complex needs of their children, these parents must also maintain their own emotional balance and psychological well-being. In the long term, high stress levels can seriously compromise parents' mental health and reduce their overall quality of life. Therefore, the development of effective stress management strategies and psychological support mechanisms for parents is critical not only for individual well-being but also for the health of family relationships. Mindfulness practices, in this context, emerge as powerful tools with the potential to increase parents' ability to cope with stress and improve emotional well-being. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of the mindfulness stress reduction program applied to parents of physically disabled children on stress and quality of life.
