Systematic Review on Social Support of Parent/Parents of Disabled Children

Abstract

Objective Parents with a disabled child face many challenges, including the imbalance between work and leisure, limited social life and time limitations. Social support is a multidimensional index that shows the individual's perception of being supported, loved, and valued. Owing to the importance of social support of parents/caregivers of disabled children and its impact on their physical, psychological, social and spiritual aspects, a systematic review was conducted with an aim to assess and summarize the results of the studies already conducted in our country.
