About this study

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. assessment of 4 dimensions of burnout

    Time frame: at baseline

    The Lebanese translation of the Parental burnout questionnaire, a 23-item self-report, includes four subscales: Emotional Exhaustion, Contrast, Feelings of Being Fed Up, and Emotional Distancing. The questionnaire has Cronbach's alphas of.93,.93,.90, and.81 for the sub-scales and.96 for the global score.

Secondary outcomes

  1. assessment of gross motor function

    Time frame: at baseline

    The Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) categorizes children into Level I, Level II, Level III, Level IV, and Level V. Level I children can walk, climb stairs, and perform gross motor skills, while Level II and III require assistance, while Level IV and V require manual wheelchair use.
