“…The family has a primarily important role in management of CP in children. 15 Particular problems may arise due to the responsibilities originating from the inherently close nature of the child-parent relationship. Familial relation patterns and the way problems are dealt with may be affected by traditions and ethnic and cultural factors; however, CP is a complicated problem for any given family structure.…”

“…In a few studies, stress level in the mothers of children with CP was found to be higher than mothers of healthy patients (Ong et al, 1998;Mobarak et al, 2000;Brehaut et al, 2004). Short et al (1989) have reported that in children with physical disabilities, participation of mothers in the physical therapy process significantly shortens the time needed to reach the targets of therapy.…”

The primary objective of the study was to determine whether there was any difference, with respect to depression, between mothers of children with cerebral palsy (CP) and mothers of healthy children. The secondary objective was to evaluate whether some additional factors had an impact on the depression of the mothers. The study included 49 children with CP, 50 healthy children, and their mothers. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was applied to all mothers to assess symptoms of depression. CP severity was assessed with the Gross Motor Functional Classification System. BDI scores of the mothers of children with CP were found to be significantly higher (P=0.002) than the mothers of healthy children. Mothers' depression did not vary depending on CP type. Gross Motor Functional Classification System level did not affect mothers' depression. Mothers' depression status was significantly affected by the presence of speech problems in children with CP (P=0.036) and a significant negative correlation was found between BDI scores and income (P=0.007). It is very important to pay attention to the psychological health of the mothers and to provide the families with psychological and social support to ensure the efficiency of rehabilitation program and to meet the objectives.

“…Of the 13 studies, only 7 ( Barna et al, 1980;Gross, Eudy, & Drabman, 1982;Hanzlik, 1989;Hinojosa, 1990;Sarimski & Hoffmann, 1993;Short, Schkade, & Herring, 1989;Von Wendt, Ekenberg, Dagis, & Janlert, 1984) were explicitly designed to study the effects of parental involvement. In the other studies, parents were involved in the program, but this involvement was not an independent variable.…”

“…In fact, it is more likely that differences could be explained by the specific problems of the children. Short et al (1989) found that therapists working with parents accomplished the goals of therapy in a shorter time period than those working only with the children. The effectiveness of a gait training intervention was studied using two groups of nonambulatory children with different physical disabilities.…”

Parental participation in intervention programs for children with physical disabilities has become an important issue in recent years, often emphasized by both professionals and parents. In this article, recent studies examining parental involvement in intervention programs for children with cerebral palsy are reviewed. Only a few studies were found that were explicitly designed to study the effects of parental involvement. Most of these studies reported positive results, especially regarding child-related outcomes. The effects on the parents were less clear, with positive and negative results reported. One important variable distinguishing programs with positive effects was the degree to which parents were involved in setting goals for their children's programs. Recommendations for practice and future research are given.
