Banini, Sandra Burden of Care Among Caregivers of Children with Cerebral Palsy at a Tertiary Hospital in Ghana: A Cross-Sectional Study. Mendeley Data This dataset comprises 44 responses from a cross-sectional survey of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Ghana. It captures detailed demographic information (gender, age, education, employment) and 24 Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI) items measuring five burden subscales: time-dependence, developmental, physical, social, and emotional. The responses, rated on a 0–4 Likert scale, show predominantly high scores for time-dependence and physical exhaustion, with notable variability in emotional and social burden. This data is ideal for describing caregiver demographics, determining the prevalence and severity of caregiving burden (as a proxy for CP severity), identifying key burden domains, and analyzing associations between burden levels and caregiver characteristics directly addressing the study's objectives of characterizing the caregiving population and identifying factors associated with the burden of care.
