Summary
This study tested an 8-week client-centered occupational therapy program for caregivers of children with cerebral palsy. The program focused on goal setting, time management, and balancing self-care, work, and leisure. Thirty-four caregivers were randomly assigned to the program or a control group, and outcomes like daily balance, activity performance, and caregiving burden were measured. The goal was to see if this approach could improve caregivers' quality of life.
