Abstract

The problem tackled in this thesis is the assessment of the quality of life and its correlates of parents of children with cerebral palsy. The variables for which the relationship has been assessed in correlation to the quality of life are as follows: Big Five personality traits, a sense of alienation, coping strategies, an evaluation of resources, socio-demographic variables, as well as information on the assessment of a child with CP health. The aim of the study was to find an answer whether there is a significant correlation between a sense of quality of life of parents of children with CP and specific socio-demographic and intrapsychic variables. The statistical analysis of gained data has shown that socio-demographic variables as well as variables correlated with the state of a child’s health do not correlate significantly with the quality of life. The exception is the age of a child with CP, which correlates with a feeling of satisfaction with a physical sphere of life and a feeling of satisfaction with a social sphere of life. It is worth noticing that other variables that had been taken into consideration showed significant correlation with the sense of quality of life.
