The aim of the study was to assess the emotional state of parents at the moment of starting therapy for their children using the Vojta method in the context of the physical activity undertaken by the parents. The study involved 68 parents (37 mothers and 31 fathers) of children with central coordination disorders (CCD) presenting for consultation and therapy using the Vojta method. The authors' questionnaires, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and the Inventory to Measure Coping Strategies with Stress (Mini-COPE) were used. As many as 84% of mothers and 77% of fathers presented high level of perceived stress. Comparative analysis showed a statistically significant difference in anxiety and life satisfaction between the groups of mothers and fathers studied. Taking declared physical activity into account, there was a statistically significant difference in stress and anxiety in the mothers' group and a statistically significant difference in mood and life satisfaction in the fathers' group. Promoting physical activity among parents of children with CCD can be helpful in maintaining better psycho-physical conditions and can also be a good tool in combating stress in difficult situations, such as the illness and therapy of a child.
本研究旨在评估父母在为孩子采用 Vojta 方法进行治疗时的情绪状态，同时考虑到父母的身体活动。研究对象为 68 名患有中枢协调障碍 (CCD) 的儿童的父母（37 名母亲和 31 名父亲），他们接受了 Vojta 方法的咨询和治疗。研究人员使用了问卷、感知压力量表 (PSS-10)、状态-特质焦虑量表 (STAI)、患者健康问卷 (PHQ-9)、生活满意度量表 (SWLS) 和应对压力的策略量表 (Mini-COPE)。多达 84%的母亲和 77%的父亲表示感到高度压力。对比分析显示，母亲和父亲两组之间的焦虑和生活满意度存在统计学差异。考虑到所申报的身体活动，母亲组在压力和焦虑方面存在统计学差异，而父亲组在情绪和生活满意度方面存在统计学差异。促进 CCD 儿童父母的身体活动有助于维持更好的身心状态，也可以成为应对孩子患病和治疗等困难情况的有效工具。
