Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Caring a child with intellectual disability are associated with negative experiences and stresses in parents. That is measured by burden of care. For any chronic disability, measurement of burden of care is important for overall well-being of a family. 38 children with Intellectual disability and 34 children without intellectual disability who satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria and consented for the study were recruited. A socio-demographic questionnaire and Burden Assessment Schedule of SCARF were applied to both the parents of the children. Both the parents of children with intellectual disability were significantly more burdened than their counterparts with typically developing children (p=0.000). Mothers were more burdened than fathers (p=0.000), but the burdens were correlated (Pearson’s r=0.912). It supports the previous studies, both from India and abroad. It may be useful to plan an intervention module addressing the parental burden component, for intellectually disabled children. Burden, parents, intellectual disability
