Evaluation of care burden among mothers of children with a disability: Correlation between physical activity, quality of life, and sleep quality; a cross-sectional study
Abstract
PURPOSE
The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between care burden and physical activity, quality of life, and sleep quality of mothers with disabled children.
DESIGN AND METHODS
The study was conducted with 165 mothers in a private rehabilitation center.
FINDINGS
There was a significant correlation between care burden and quality of life and sleep quality among mothers with disabled children.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
It is necessary for nurses to consult parents in terms of social support and to provide psychological support for families with disabled children to reduce the care burden of parents.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cross-sectional, done in people. Its evidence level is 4 of 5 (Low · observational). Observational designs can show an association but not prove cause.
