Association of Socio-Clinical Factors With Psychological Distress in Parents or Caregivers of Children With Mental Illness
: 3.09, [1.10, 9.29]). The mental health status of caregivers of children with mental illness during the COVID-19 pandemic was likely influenced by the loss of a home due to COVID-19, a history of psychiatric treatment, a perceived decline in quality of life, the female gender, and difficulty spending time with extended family. Our study demonstrated the intricate interplay of socioclinical factors with depression, anxiety, and perceived stress.
