Factors Affecting Occupational Balance Among Iranian Caregivers of Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) face lifelong motor, functional, and participation challenges, requiring continuous support for daily activities. Although caregiving can enhance family bonds, it often negatively affects caregivers' physical and social well-being, family dynamics, independence, and financial stability. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between occupational balance, caregiver burden, and related factors among parents of Iranian children with CP.
