Occupational Therapy for Caregivers

This study examines a client-centered occupational therapy program developed for caregivers of children with cerebral palsy. Caregivers often have difficulty managing their daily activities because of caregiving responsibilities, which can affect how they organize their daily routines. In this study, caregivers take part in an 8-week program that focuses on improving daily life balance through goal setting, awareness of time use, and activity planning. The program is designed to help caregivers better organize their daily routines and balance different types of activities. Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. Outcomes such as daily activity balance, activity performance, and caregiving-related difficulties are measured before and after the program. The aim of this study is to examine whether a client-centered occupational therapy program can improve daily life balance and activity performance and reduce caregiving-related difficulties in caregivers of children with cerebral palsy.
