Abstract

The present study was carried out to compare mental health of parents of physically disabled and non- disabled children. Sample of 100 parents (50 parents of physically disabled children and 50 of non-disabled) were purposively selected from Udaipur District. Mental Health Checklist prepared by Pramod Kumar (1992) was used to collect the data. Mental health Checklist assessed both mental and somatic health status of the respondents. Results showed a significant difference across mental health status and somatic health status of respondents. Parents of non disabled are found to be having better somatic health status and mental health status as compared to parents of physically disabled children.
