Brief Summary: BackgroundAims Parents of children with cerebral palsy face higher levels of stress anxiety and depression sadness exhaustion and burnout Parent-based therapies have been found to increase parents satisfaction with therapy parent-child interactions and reduced parental stress This study examined the effects of parent-based occupational therapy on stress levels coping skills and emotional skills and competencies of parents of children with cerebral palsy

Methods A total of 15 children and their parents who were admitted to the paediatric rehabilitation unit for occupational therapy were divided into two groups control group n7 study group n8 using the coin toss randomisation method The control group received standard occupational thearpy while the study group received parent-based occupational therapy for 45 minutes a session twice a week until 10 sessions had been completed Participants were evaluated before and after the intervention
Detailed Description: Cerebral palsy is a disability characterized by movement and posture disorders loss of motor control muscle weakness cognitive deficits sensory impairment language and communication problems and epilepsy resulting from prenatal perinatal and postnatal anomalies This disability is accompanied by intellectual disability as well as behavioral and emotional difficulties Cerebral palsy is one of the main causes of childhood motor disability in developed countries and is reported to affect one out of every 500 births These effects seen in cerebral palsy have negative consequences regarding social participation Therefore interventions for children with cerebral palsy are important and valuable

Rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy includes interventions that target the childs problems skills opportunities facilitator difficulties obstacle needs and relationships with their parents Occupational therapists plan and apply long-term and follow-up interventions to improve childrens independence in their environment such as self-care play school and leisure time occupations In studies with children with cerebral palsy evidence-based interventions such as constraint-induced movement therapy hand-arm bimanual intensive training hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy including lower extremity seem to focus on increasing the functional use of the hemiplegic side

The Ayres sensory integration intervention approach aims to increase functional skills with necessary sensory experiences and active participation In addition the Bobath approach focuses on the childs development at a functional level and being able to participate more in activities by improving muscle tone and postural control These interventions can be used according to the childs needs The goal is to improve occupational performance and increase social participation

The effectiveness of an intervention for children with cerebral palsy is related to the amount and intensity of the treatment as well as the parents understanding of their childrens skills and ability to interact with their children Stress anxiety and depression sadness exhaustion burnout and disappointment are some of the emotions that negatively affect the interactions of parents with their children as well as the results of the intervention

Parent-based intervention approaches include parents in the decision-making and implementation of rehabilitation for their child Law et al stated that parent-based therapies increased parents satisfaction with therapy parent-child interactions and reduced parental stress Barfoot et al observed that a child with cerebral palsy and his parents achieved both emotional and physical wins through a parent-based intervention

Novak et al found that parent-based occupational therapy home programs contributed positively to the development of children with cerebral palsy and reduced caregivers burden The studies found that the treatment applied to children with cerebral palsy was not sufficient and that parents who spend most of their time at home with their children should be included in the interventions

It is important to benefit from the parents expertise and for them to see themselves as a part of the intervention Therefore the aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of the parent-based occupational therapy intervention program on coping skills and stress levels in parents of children with cerebral palsy
