Disability-or apology; It is the inability or incompleteness of individuals to fulfill their roles in life, such as age, gender, culture, social and psychological factors, due to their inadequacies. Disability is not only a mental or physical health problem, but also a social problem. Having a disabled child and the type of disability present various difficulties to parents in the course of life. The difficulties in the care and education of these children are based on psychological, physical, social, economic and cultural realities.Families with diseases such as Cerebral Palsy (SP), Spina Bifida (SB), Muscular Dystrophy (MD), Down Syndrome (DS) are among them. Having a disabled child in the community can affect families in different ways. Every step of the education of disabled children (purpose, principle, education plan, game, school and family duties, etc.) is important for the disabled individual, family, teacher and society.

Receiving supportive mentoring from well-adjusted individuals who share similar experiences has had a positive influence on adjustment with some chronic diseases. In this study, patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and caregivers of such patients will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) face-to-face PFPP-individuals will receive six months of PFPP peer-mentoring, along with an informational text; (2) online PFPP-individuals will receive six months of online peer-mentoring modeled after the PFPP program, along with an informational text; and (3) information-only control group-individuals will receive the text of the material provided to the other two groups. The study team's decision to include an online version is based on suggestions by previous participants who indicated that this would be convenient for individuals for whom distance and geographic location are major considerations of participation. The investigators expect that both face-to-face and online peer-mentorship programs will result in improved quality of life among patients with advanced kidney disease and decreased feeling of burden among caregivers of these patients. The investigators also expect that mentorship will lead to improved engagement of patients in their own care.

As the life expectancy of individuals with Cerebral Palsy(CP) increases, their families' material, spiritual, physical and social difficulties increase, and in time, psychological and behavioral barriers occur in family members. While these barriers are increasing in developing countries, the whole family may be more vulnerable to the negative consequences of caring because of the limited availability of basic facilities for disabled people and the lack of temporary care services. The main aim of rehabilitation of individuals with CP is to improve their adaptive functions by increasing their postural control, locomotion and manipulative skills. Today, family-centered approaches for CP are known to be the most successful in terms of rehabilitation. Because the family is known to be of great importance in terms of active participation of the child in life. Therefore, while interdisciplinary treatments are in progress for the treatment of individuals, the success of rehabilitation is provided by interacting with the family, identifying their needs and problems and supporting them. There are many questionnaires developed to assess the difficulties experienced by the parents of individuals with CP. Of these, surveys adapted to Turkish are less common. The direct translation of the questionnaires into other languages does not guarantee its validity. If measures are to be used across cultures, it is known that the elements should not only be well translated linguistically, but also culturally adapted to maintain the content validity of the instrument across different cultures.

Acquired brain injury is a general term including trauma due to head injury or postsurgical damage, vascular accident such as stroke or subarachnoid hemorrhage, toxic or metabolic cause such as hypoglycemia, cerebral anoxia, and infection or inflammation. However acquired brain injury leaves survivors with a considerable burden of physical, cognitive, emotional,behavioural and psychosocial limitations,these individuals often require healthcare, supervision, and support from professional or informal caregivers in some or all of their lives. Therefore, this study have two primary aims: (1) to conclude the level of caregiver's life satisfaction and strain; and (2) to determine the factors predicting strain among the caregivers. İnvestigators believe this study can add to the literature and create awareness on the current state of caregiver's well-being in this part of the world.

Test the usability, perceptions and acceptability of a computer monitor for participant diagnosed with ADRD and their caregiver who will program the applications specifically for each individual to help them remember activities of daily living. Goal is to keep participants in their homes longer and delay the need for institutional care

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the change of attention measure is correlated with the changes of caregiver's burden after treatment with galantamine.

The burnout phenomenon first came to clinical science 50 years ago. It is exponentially rising worldwide which prompted its discoverers to develop the most popular tool for its assessment, known as the Maslach burnout inventory (MBI)1. Common symptoms of burnout include depression, irritability, and insomnia. The growing demand for extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may have an effect on burnout as the newly introduced services is demanding in effort and put the practitioners on complex ethical and administrative situations. We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study using a combined methodological quantitative and qualitative approach involving a convenience sample of 1000 healthcare practitioners within surgical and medical ICUs of Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Qatar. We will use used two main instruments to develop an online questionnaire: - The MBI-human service survey (MBI-HSS) and the Leadership scale Expectations: we expect that we will have a new insight about the impact of these complex interventions on practitioner's burnout.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between burnout levels and clinical performances of anesthesiology residents.

The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a game-based tool for caregivers of pediatric oncology patients to increase caregiver knowledge about supportive care for oncology patients while simultaneously reducing caregiver anxiety.
