Özet
Purpose: Emotional and activity difficulties may affect adolescents’ daily lives with cerebral palsy (CP). Therefore, it is important to evaluate factors associated with emotion regulation in adolescents with CP. This study aims to determine how adolescents with CP use emotion regulation strategies during their interactions and to examine the relationship between emotion regulation, activity performance, and quality of life. Methods: The data was obtained using the Regulation of Emotions Questionnaire (REQ), The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). The relationship between the scale scores was tested using the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: A significant relationship was found between internal functional emotion regulation and activity performance (p <.05), as well as between emotion regulation and quality of life (p <.05). Conclusions: These results indicated that adolescents’ activity performance and quality of life with CP were associated with emotion regulation skills. It is very beneficial for occupational therapists to consider emotion regulation skills to improve activity performance and adolescents’ quality of life with CP.
