All individuals are vulnerable to stress, to varying degrees, and each has a potential for it to increase its competence to deal with it. Parents of children with cerebral palsy through difficult periods in their lives, resulting in a disturbed mental health, expressed a high level of stress. Rare are the studies which launch out to study the impact of the disease on the mental state of the parents and identify factors associated with the development of perceived stress in this population. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of 67 relatives (34 mothers and 33 fathers) of children with cerebral palsy. Scales and questionnaires were used with the aim to identify the level of perceived stress of parents with children and adolescents suffering from cerebral palsy compared between mothers and fathers and to determine the factors associated with perceived stress among parents. Most of our results support our hypothesis and confirms the data of the literature in a field little studied in Morocco. Indeed it seems that the parents of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy suffer from high levels of stress, suffering seems more pronounced in mothers than in fathers whose partners are factors related to gender (female) , marital status (divorce) and the socio-economic level (law). The sample size is small and the comparison group is absent. Similar research would be interesting if it would cover a wider range in order to extrapolate results and develop a coping strategy of adaptation and support. We should find the solutions helping families to overcome this deteriorated experience and break their isolation to reduce their stress and improve their conjugal balance.
