BACKGROUNDParents are usually the obligatory decision makers for the child, and thus are involved in all aspects of his or her care. Serious illness or prolonged treatment often results in significant emotional distress to the parents, impairing their ability to provide the necessary support and care to the child. Parental helplessness, anger, withdrawal, over-protectiveness and other emotional factors should be factored in to evolve an appropriate therapeutic plan to address the emerging needs of both the children and their parents.The present study aims to assess the psychopathology among the parents of children with ALL, their Family burden, Quality of life, stressful life events and coping and to infer their possible predictors.
