Abstract

Background: The most frequent childhood disability that results in long-term functional difficulties is cerebral palsy. The daily routines of those who are affected and their families are profoundly impacted by cerebral palsy. Purpose: The main objectives of this study are to clarify whether cerebral palsy has an impact on children's quality of life (QOL). In addition, highlighting the difference in quality of life between educated and non-educated cerebral palsy children. Methods: Care givers of five hundred of cerebral palsy children, aged between 4 to 12 years, from different governmental hospitals and private centers were screened by spreading the Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children (CPQOL -Child). After completing the initial data collection, data was analyzed through Statistical package of social science (SPSS) version 20. Results: The study results showed that the score of quality of life for children was higher in preparatory education which it ranged from 41.42-78.17 with mean value 61.13 ± 12.81 and median 60.38 followed by primary education 20.19-79.10 with mean value 56.97 ± 13.06 and median 59.89, while the lowest score was in does not study cases 12.12-73.81 with mean value 39.95 ± 14.55 and median 39.21. Conclusion: Cerebral Palsy has a negative effect on the children's quality of life compared to normal healthy children and that education has a real positive impact on the children's quality of life since providing education to cerebral palsy children would improve their intellectual abilities and therefore improves their overall quality of life.
