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?

Inclusion Criteria:

• Parents of children between the ages of 2 and 4.8 who had been diagnosed with diplegic CP.

  • Parents of children with diplegic CP who were in a stable clinical and medical state.

Exclusion Criteria:

• parents of children with behavioral problem.
• 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
• parents with limited literacy

Parents of Children with diplegic CP age range 2 to 4.5

Privacy Concerns: IPD can be very detailed and contain sensitive information about participants, such as their medical history, diagnoses, and treatment responses. Sharing this data could potentially identify participants, even if it is de-identified. This can be a major concern, especially for studies involving rare diseases or conditions.

Data Security: Making IPD publicly available raises risks of data breaches or unauthorized access. Researchers need to be confident they have robust security measures in place to protect sensitive participant information.
