Abstract :Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between parental occupational balance and the child-parent relationship and its effect on the child-parent relationship. Materials and Methods: The study included parents of children aged 4-6. In this cross-sectional study, all participants completed the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (OBQ), the Child‒Parent Relationship Scale (CPRS), and the sociodemographic data survey. Results: The study included 216 parents (81.9% female, with a mean age of 34.6±5.2 years). There was a significant inverse correlation between the CPRS and the OBQ scores (r=-0.266, p<0.001). CPRS also had an inverse significant correlation with the allocated time to child care (r=-0.235, p<0.001). Linear regression analysis revealed that occupational balance, the amount of time allocated to child care and the presence of chronic disease were independent determinants of the child-parent relationship. Conclusion: Our study suggests that it is important to consider these factors in studies aiming to develop positive child-parent relationships.Keywords : Ebeveyn, ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkisi, kronik hastalık
