MATERIALS and METHODS: Thirtyseven Down syndrome children (7.9±3.5 years) were included in this study. Functional independent level of children were evaluated by using Functional Independence Measure, mothers quality of life were evaluated by using Sort Form-36. Down syndrome children were classified according their Functional Independence Measure total score into two groups; need observation (36-90 scores) (n=19), and independent (91-126 scores) (n=18) groups. RESULTS: Functional Independence Measure total scores of children in need obsevation group and children in independent group were 73.7±15.4, 106.7±11.6, respectively. Sort Form -36 Physical, Sort Form -36 Mental and Sort Form -36 Total scores of children in need obsevation group were 53.1±25.1, 49.6 ± 14.9 and 102.7±37.4 and children in independent group scores were 68.3±21.6, 62.1±13,9 and 130.5±33.7, respectively. When we compared Sort Form -36 Mental and Sort Form -36 Total scores of the groups were significant in favor of independent group (p<0,05), but the difference of Sort Form-36 Physical score was insignificant (p>0,05). In addition, it was found no relationships between the quality of life of mothers and children age in the all groups (p>0,05). CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study suggested that functional dependence level of Down syndrome children effects on mothers’ quality of life and affected domain of quality of life was mental health.
