Detailed description: This methodological research was conducted with the parents of 127 children with cerebral palsy aged 3-6 years old who were receiving education in special education and rehabilitation centers. Data were collected using the Child-Parent Information Form and the Self-Care Assessment Scale for Children with CP aged 3-6 years Parent Form (SPÇÖRS-EF). Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis, Cronbach alpha, test-retest, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test, Bartlett test, explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data. The research was conducted with the parents of children aged 3-6 years old with cerebral palsy who came to nine special education and rehabilitation centers in four provinces in western Turkey to receive physical therapy between June 5 and December 5, 2023. The sample of the study was calculated by taking at least five times the total number of items in the scale (25 items\*5=125, n=125). Non-probability random sampling method was used in sample selection. The research was completed with the participation of 127 parents. According to post hoc power analysis, this sample size was confirmed to be sufficient for 97% power (with a medium effect size d = 0.3 and α = 0.05 type I error). Criteria for inclusion in the study; The children were between the ages of 3-6 (36-72 months), lived with their parents, and the parents were at least literate and able to speak and understand Turkish.
