“…This is lower than prevalence of depression reported in caregiver of children with cerebral palsy in previous studies 9, 21,22 . A prevalence of 45.2% was reported in Tunisia and 31% in Brazil 22,23 . The difference in prevalence between the previous studies and the current study can be due to cultural differences, and may also be due the use of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale which is a self-administered rating instrument in the Tunisian and Brazilian study as compared to MINI, an interviewer administered diagnostic instrument was used in the current study.…”

Background: Caring for a child with cerebral palsy (CP) is an arduous task and the over-reliance on specific coping strategies may predispose caregivers to depression. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the different types of coping strategies and presence of depression in caregivers of children with CP. Methods: One hundred and thirty two participants were recruited into the study. Their coping styles were measured using the Brief COPE inventory while depression was assessed with Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Results: The prevalence of current depressive episodes among the participants was 20.5%. Depression had a strong negative correlation with active coping (r =-0.415), planning (r =-0.432), and positive reframing (r =-0.594), and a weak negative correlation with humor (r =-0.239). But a strong positive correlation with use of instrumental support (r = 0.421) and self-blame (r = 0.448), and a moderate positive correlation with denial (r = 0.313), and behavioral disengagement (r = 0.308). Both emotion-focused (r =-0.361) and problem-focused (r =-0.576) coping style had a strong negative correlation with depression. While dysfunctional coping style had a strong positive correlation with depression (r = 0.489). Discussion: Emotional and problem focused coping style were found to more protective against depression than dysfunctional coping styles among care givers of children with CP.

“…This research indicated that having a child with CP is probably linked to a greater frequency and severity of depression in moms. As the mother of a child with CP, she may have a much higher risk of experiencing emotional distress due to the demands of caring for a kid with CP, regardless of the clinical type 18 . We also found higher male to female ratio and also found higher frequency of depression as they reported.…”

Background: Mothers of children with various degrees of impairment may bear a high amount of stress. Children with chronic medical disorders lead their moms to experience sadness, mental distress, and behavior problems. Aim: To determine the frequency of depression in mothers of children with cerebral palsy. Methodology: This cross sectional study was conducted in OPD of Neurology and Development Department, Children's Hospital Lahore in six months after the approval of synopsis August 20, 2020 till Feb 20, 2020. After taking written informed consent, 196 CP children's mothers were enrolled. Demographic information (including name, age) was also recorded. After admission to hospital detailed history and thorough clinical examinations were carried out to reach the provisional diagnosis. Results: The mean age of children was 6.65±2.23 years with age range of 3 and 10 years. There were 109(55.6%) male and 87(44.4%) female cases with higher male to female ratio. The mean age of mothers was 37.92±7.69 years with age range of 25 and 50 years. There were 115(58.7%) mothers who had depression and 81(41.3%) mothers did not have depression. There were 81(41.3%) mothers who had normal, 33(16.8%) had mild mood disturbance, 24(12.2%) mothers had borderline clinical depression, 23(11.7%) mothers had moderate depression and 35(17.9%) mother had severe depression. Practical implication: This study identifies a greater risk of depression in mothers of CP children, so by the help of this study we can identify such mothers at follow up of CP children and can give them psychiatric attention which can decrease mental health issues in them and would be beneficial for both the mother and their CP children. Conclusion: Depression among mothers of CP child was higher in this study, so these mothers must be given attention through psychiatric education and mental health programs to reduce their depression at the time of their CP children follow up.

“…Assuming the proportion of anxiety and depression among mothers to be 45.9% and 45.2% respectively 5,6 ; respectively with 20% relative precision and alpha error of 5% (95% confidence level), sample size was calculated to be 114 for depression and 117 for anxiety using OpenEpi version 3.01 software. A sample size of 117 was finalized, however, a total of 120 mothers were interviewed for the study.…”

“…Although the overall burden of psychiatric morbidities among these mothers is quite high and associated with poor outcomes in children, policies and practices mainly serve only the children with neurodevelopmental disorder. 5 In India, there is limited literature focusing on the parental impact of raising children with NDD and their risk of developing various psychopathologies. Hence, it is important to fill this lacuna as well-being of the mother is directly correlated with the well-being of the child and the family.…”

Background: Parents of children with neuro-developmental disorder (NDD) experience psychiatric disorders like depression and anxiety; and mother being the main care-giver is at a higher risk. Socio-demographic conditions of the families also augment depression. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of depression and/or anxiety among mothers of children with NDD availing care at a tertiary care centre, Puducherry, India. Materials and methods: We conducted a cross sectional study from among mothers of children with NDD attending the paediatric clinics between September and October 2019. All mothers were administered PHQ-9 and GAD-7 tools to screen for depression and anxiety, respectively. Those who failed the screens were administered the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Inventory (MINI-PLUS) version 7.0.2 to confirm the diagnosis of depression and anxiety. Prevalence of depression and/or anxiety were presented with 95% confidence intervals. Results: A total of 120 mothers were included. Of those, mothers of children with epilepsy were maximum (40%) followed by Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder (27%), Intellectual Disability (14%), Cerebral Palsy (12%) and Autism spectrum disorder (7%). Of the total, 52 mothers were screened positive for depression and46 (37.5%, 95%CI 29.2-46.4) were diagnosed with depression. As for anxiety, 91 mothers were screened positive and 52 (43.3%, 95% CI 34.7-52.3) were diagnosed with anxiety. 36 (30% 95% CI 22.3-38.6) mothers had both depression and anxiety. Conclusion: Depression and anxiety were common among mothers of children with NDD. Hence screening and counseling of these mothers need to be considered.
