The different conditions such as impaired sleep quality, impaired quality of life and decreased psychological health have been reported in caregivers of children with disabilities. It was aimed in this study to determine if psychodrama intervention causes any change on the sleep and life quality of mothers of children with cerebral palsy. Psychodrama intervention in sessions of 2 h a week for 8 weeks was applied to psychodrama group, and the study was completed with 8 mothers in the psychodrama group and 14 mothers in the control group. The mothers were evaluated in terms of sleep quality assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and quality of life assessed by Short Form-36 (SF-36) before the treatment and at the end of the 8th week. The clinically significant improvements were detected in all SF-36 subscale scores in the psychodrama group compared to the control group, only score of bodily pain subscale showed a statistically significant percentage change. There was no difference between the groups in the percentage change in PSQI scores. This study has shown that psychodrama intervention had no effect on sleep quality while it might have clinically positive effects on all of the quality of life subscales.

据报导，残疾儿童的照护者有不同的状况，例如睡眠质量下降，生活质量下降和心理健康下降。这项研究旨在确定精神剧干预是否会导致脑瘫儿童母亲的睡眠和生活质量发生任何变化。精神odrama组采用了每周2天，为期8周的Psychodrama干预措施，该研究由psychodrama组的8位母亲和对照组的14位母亲完成。在治疗前和第8周结束时，根据匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）评估的睡眠质量和通过Short-36-36（SF-36）评估的生活质量对母亲进行了评估。与对照组相比，在精神疗法组中所有SF-36子量表得分中都检测到了临床上的显着改善，只有身体疼痛子量表的得分显示出统计学上显着的百分比变化。两组之间的PSQI分数变化百分比没有差异。这项研究表明，心理odrama干预对睡眠质量没有影响，而对所有生活质量量表都有临床积极影响。
