Mothers have been introduced as the best source to care for the children with intellectual disability; however, they have faced many problems such as caregiver burden. The current study was conducted to determine the relationship between caregiver burden and demographics among the mothers of children with intellectual disability supported by Elahi Rehabilitation Center. This is a descriptive-correlation study in which the convenience sampling method was used to select 60 mothers of children with intellectual disability at Elahi Rehabilitation Center in Quchan. All of the subjects met the inclusion criteria. The data collection tools were the demographics questionnaire and Caregiver Burden Inventory (CBI). Then SPSS 20 was employed to analyze data. According to the research findings, the mean of caregiver burden score was 76.93 (22.70) for mothers. This score was above the average level in 51.70% of mothers. Moreover, there was no statistically significant relationship between caregiver burden and the demographics of mothers except for an underlying disease among children. Different demographics of mothers of children with intellectual disability did not influence the level of caregiver burden in most cases. The physical and emotional impacts of caregiving were probably greater than individual differences. It is advised to conduct this study on more subjects.
