Investigation of the relationship between disease severity, caregiver burden and emotional expression in caregivers of children with cerebral palsy

ConclusionAccording to the results of our study, as motor skills and communication skills decrease, especially the burden of caregivers increases and the family ’s emotional expression processes are related to these variables. We think that in the long-term follow-up of children with CP, it may be useful to provide appropriate psychiatric support by evaluating caregivers appropriately.
