Objective To explore the mental health and personality traits of the parents of cerebral palsy children. Methods 128 parents of cerebral palsy children and other 128 parents of healthy children were investigated with the Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Results The scores of SCL-90 were more in the parents of cerebral palsy children, especially in the factors of somatization, obsession, depression, anxiety, and paranoid (P<0.01). The personality traits characterized as introversion (P<0.05) and neu-roticism (P<0.01). The multiple regression showed that some factors of SCL-90 were related with the personality of neuroticism.
