Objectives:
In this study, it was aimed to evaluate maternal
functional status, quality of life, depression and anxiety measurements
according to the child's functional level in the mothers, who were diagnosed
with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), of children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: Ninety-seven
mothers diagnosed with FMS, whose children had CP, were included in the study. Children with CP were divided into two
functional levels with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS)
as mild-moderate (level 1, 2 and 3) and severe (level 4 and 5). On mothers, The
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) was used to assess the functional
levels and quality of life, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to
evaluate the depression level, and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was used to
determine the anxiety level.

Results: The mean age of the 97 female patients
participating in the study was 35.93 ± 8.72 years. According to GMFCS, 67% of
children with CP were mild to moderate while 33% were severe. There was a
significant positive correlation between GMFCS levels of children with CP and
their mother's FIQ, BDI, and BAI scores (p
< 0.05).

Conclusions:
Maintaining the daily life of a child with CP is
a parenting-focused situation. Especially it affects the mother physically and
mentally. Our study suggests that the severe physical condition of the child
with CP increases the mother's FIQ, depression, and anxiety. It has been
determined that studies on CP should not ignore the parental factor as well as
research on the disease itself.
