This study, examines how maternal education affects caregiving burdens for children with cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy requires long-term, intensive care, often leading to significant physical, emotional, and financial strain on caregivers. The study aims to assess whether higher maternal education is associated with lower care burdens, possibly due to increased access to resources or coping strategies, and whether lower educational levels result in greater challenges. A survey, combined with standardized measures such as the Caregiver Burden Scale, will be used to quantify the caregiving burden. The results are expected to inform policies or interventions aimed at reducing caregiver strain.

Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview
This scale was developed to assess the stress experienced by those who provide care to a person in need of care or to an elderly person. This scale can be completed by the caregivers themselves or by the researcher. It consists of 22 questions that determine the effect of caregiving on the person's life. The items in the scale are mostly emotional and social. The Turkish validity and reliability were made by Özer et al. in 2006. The scale is graded on a score of 0-4 for each question. Verbal use in the survey is never, rarely, sometimes, often, almost always. Total scores between 0-21 are classified as low or none, between 21-40 as mild or moderate, between 41-60 as moderately severe, and between 61-88 as severe burden. A high scale score indicates that the caregiver is experiencing a lot of distress.
