About this study

Investigators aimed to explore the rehabilitation status of children with CP and anxiety of their caregivers during the covid19 pandemic. Caregivers of children with CP who were under follow up in the outpatient CP clinic were called up during pandemic period. 206 caregivers who voluntarily accepted to participate were administered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and evaluated about the rehabilitation status of their children. Demographic data, associated problems of children, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) levels were recorded from their files. For the statistical analysis, IBM SPSS Statistics 22 (SPSS IBM, Turkey) programs were used. While evaluating the study data, the suitability of the parameters to the normal distribution was evaluated with the Shapiro Wilks test. Significance was evaluated at the p <0.05 level.
