Özet
This study aimed to examine quality of life in children with special needs and affecting fa- ctors from the perspective of mothers. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with mothers (n=99) of children with special needs between the ages of 5-18 living in a province in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Türkiye. Personal Information Form and QI-Disability-Parent Form were used to collect data. A significant difference was found between children’s QI-Disa- bility-Parent Form total scores and their diagnosis and verbal communication ability (p<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that verbal communication ability was a statistically significant negative predictor of QI-Disability-Parent Form scores, meeting personal needs of positive emotions, verbal communication ability of social interaction, and verbal communica- tion ability and ability to use one’s hands of independence (p<0.01, p<0.05). Verbal communi- cation ability was a particularly important factor affecting quality of life.
