Özet:

 Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the awareness levels of caregivers of disabled children about their childs illness, physiotherapy, and sports activities. Materials and Methods: Caregivers n65 of children with a mean age of 6,505,29 diagnosed with cerebral palsy CP, spina bifida SD, Down syndrome DS, and muscular dystrophy MD were included in the study. The Disease, Physiotherapy, and Sports Awareness Questionnaire consisting of 12 multiple-choice questions specific to disease groups was applied. Results: Of the caregivers n65 with a mean age of 34.4310.16 who participated in the study 83 mothers, 4.6 fathers, 4.6 siblings, and 7.7 others. The definition of the disease was made correctly at 92.9 in the DS, 63.6 in the CP, 85.7 in the SB, and 72.7 in the MD group. Sensory problems in SB were known at a rate of 26.7. 85.7 of the DS, 62.5 of the CP, 40 of the SB, and 45.5 of the MD group had accurate information in terms of physiotherapy content. There was no significant difference between the groups p0.05 when caregivers responses about participation in sports activities were compared according to disability groups. Of caregivers for children with DS, 92.9, 75 of CP, 58.3 of MD, and 92.9 of SB stated that their children could do sports. Conclusions: All caregivers thought that sports would positively affect their childrens general well-being, motivation, and increase in physical capacity. Although it was identified that the disease awareness levels of caregivers for children with disabilities and their ideas about sports activities were at a good level.

 Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı engelli çocukların bakımverenlerinin, çocuklarının hastalığı, fizyoterapi ve spor aktiviteleri hakkındaki farkındalık düzeylerini belirlemekti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 6,505,29 olan, Serebral Palsi SP, Spina Bifida SB, Down Sendromu DS, Musküler Distrofi MD tanılı çocukların bakımverenleri n 65 dahil edildi. Bakımverenlere araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan hastalık gruplarına özgü, çoktan seçmeli 12 sorudan oluşan Hastalık, Fizyoterapi ve Spor Farkındalık Anketi yapıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan yaş ortalaması 34,4310,16 olan bakımverenlerin n65 83ü anne, 4,6sı baba, 4,6sı kardeş, 7,7si ise diğer kişilerden oluştu. Hastalık tanımının DSlu grupta 92,9, SPli grupta  63,6, SBda 85,7, MDde 72,7 oranında doğru yapıldığı bulundu. SBda duyu problemlerinin ise 26,7 oranında bilindiği saptandı. Fizyoterapi içeriği açısından DSlu grupta 85,7, SPde 62,5, SBda 40, MDde 45,5 oranında doğru bilgiye sahip olunduğu saptandı. Bakımverenlerin engel gruplarına göre spor katılımı yapabilme yanıtları karşılaştırıldığında gruplar arasında anlamlı fark bulunmadı p0,05. DSlu çocukların bakımverenlerin 92,9unun, SPlilerin 75i, MDlerin 58,3ü, SBlıların 92,9u çocuklarının spor yapabileceğini ifade etti. Sonuç: Tüm bakımverenlerin sporun çocuklarının genel iyilik hali, motivasyon ve fiziksel kapasite artışı açısından olumlu etkileneceğini düşündüğü bulundu. Engelli çocukların bakımverenlerinin hastalık farkındalık düzeylerinin ve spor aktiviteleri ile ilgili fikirlerinin iyi düzeyde olduğu fakat yeterli olmadığı saptansa da, fizyoterapi süreci hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerinin arttırılması gerektiği görüşüne varıldı.
