Abstract

ABSTRACT This study delves into the quality of life (QoL) experiences of parents caring for children with neurological impairments in Bulgaria. Employing the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) instrument, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted on parents of neurologically impaired children (n = 52) and parents of healthy children (n = 43). The study uncovers the intricate interplay of physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions that contribute to caregivers’ well-being. Despite the challenges parents of neurologically impaired children face, including the delicate balance between caregiving and employment, financial strains, and the need for culturally sensitive support services, they demonstrate remarkable adaptive capacities. The findings advocate for a multifaceted approach in addressing the challenges to improve the overall QoL for parents nurturing children with disabilities in Bulgaria.
