A deficit of exploration exists on caregiving burden (CB) and the factors associated with it among non-age groups, similar as Bedouin maters of children diagnosed with epilepsy (CDE). The end of this study was to explore associations between CB and care-donors’ characteristics, contextual factors, and caregivers’ characteristics among those matters. Styles an aggregate of 50 maters completed tone-report questionnaires while visiting pediatric neurology inpatient clinic centres, using valid and dependable measures. Bivariate associations were set up between social support, number of specifics, and CB. General tone-efficacity and place of hearthstone surfaced as significant predictors of caregiver burden. These findings give health professionals with a better understanding of the factors that should be assessed in order to address caregiver burden among Bedouin maters of CDE. Understanding the unique characteristics and culture of the Bedouin community can help professionals in targeting caregivers with a lower sense of tone-efficacity, and those that live in Bedouin metropolises, in order to reduce their caregiving burden.
