Handling children with chronic diseases may negatively impact caregivers' quality of life. This research objective is to identify the caregiver burden in children with chronic disease care. A cross-sectional study used the PedsQl Family Impact Module questionnaire to identify the caregiver burden among 230 caregivers of children with chronic diseases at UMCC. The participant perceived burden (n=154, 67%) with mean M=1.67 (SD 0.47). However, age and gender are not significantly associated with caregiver burden. In conclusion, caregivers perceive the burden of caring for children with chronic diseases. Therefore, continuous support from healthcare providers may help reduce the caregiver burden.
