Main Results:

  • The majority of carers were females aged 20-50, married, and mothers.
  • Nearly half of the carers reported a moderate burden (42.4%), with significant portions experiencing mild (31.5%) or severe (15.2%) burden.
  • Identified burdens included physical stress, time constraints, lack of support, emotional distress, and financial difficulties.

Conclusions:

  • Approximately half of the caregivers caring for children with CP experience a moderate level of burden.
  • Caregiver burden is associated with educational level and occupation.
  • Findings highlight the need for tailored support for carers of children with CP.
