Menurut Katelaar, et al (2008) dibutuhkan waktu untuk menerima kondisi dan merawat anak cerebral palsy. Tujuan. Mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat stres pengasuhan orang tua dengan kemampuan motorik anak cerebral palsy. Metode. Kuantitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Terdapat 41 orang tua yang memiliki anak cerebral palsy yang merupakan anggota Rumah Cerebral Palsy Bogor. Responden diberikan kuesioner Parenting Stress Index-Short Form untuk mengukur tingkat stres dan kuesioner GMFCS-Family Report untuk mengukur kemampuan motorik anak cerebral palsy. Hasil. Orang tua yang memiliki anak cerebral palsy dengan kemampuan motorik ringan 29% mengalami stres ringan dan 12% mengalami stres berat dan orang tua yang memiliki anak cerebral palsy dengan kemampuan motorik berat 39% mengalami stres ringan dan 20% mengalami stres berat.
