Results: The results showed significant negative correlations between care burden and loneliness with life expectancy and a significant positive correlation between social adjustment and life expectancy in women who have children with cerebral palsy (P ≤0.001). The results of multiple regression showed that research variables can explain 54% of life expectancy variance.
