Caring by default: experiences of caregivers of children with developmental disabilities in Ghana mirrored in the context of the stress process model.

Background: Caring for a child with developmental disabilities (DD) is associated with significant stress and burden. Caregivers' experiences are influenced by factors such as poverty, stigma, and the lack of accessibility to services, equipment, and assistive devices. These factors are prevalent in a low-resource setting like Ghana which ultimately influences the experiences of caregivers.

Well-being focused interventions for caregivers of children with developmental disabilities: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Children with developmental disability (DD) may depend on their family caregivers to fulfil their complex health needs. Family caregivers are generally described as persons providing unpaid for services for the child with DD at home who need to be supported in a manner that supports and promotes his/her well-being. This review aims to identify and map the range of interventions available for caregivers of children between the ages of 5-16 with DD.
