Abstract	The research aimed to identify whether there are differences between mothers and fathers in terms of the level of burden they experience and the ways they cope with caregiving challenges. A quantitative research design was used, with a sample of 200 parents, including 100 mothers and 100 fathers. Data was collected using standardized tools such as the Burden Scale for Family Caregivers (BSFC) and the Coping Mechanism Questionnaire (PCMQ). Statistical analysis was carried out using an independent samples t-test. The results showed that both mothers and fathers experience similar levels of caregiver burden, indicating equal stress levels.
