Background: Caring for children with disability and chronic illness is a stressful process. The stress caused by raising a sick or disabled child creates a burden of care. The burden of care is defined as the physical, psychological, social, or economic reactions that appear in the caregiver during care. Aims: To assess the level of care burden and resilience among parents differently abled and chronic disorder children. Settings and Design: This Descriptive comparative research study included a sample of 60 parents of differently abled and chronic disorder children in HSK Hospital Bagalkot. Methods and Material: Data were collected using purposive sampling Methode. Tools used for data collection were; socio-demographic questionnaire, BRIEF RESILIENCE scale and Zarit care burden Scale. To find the associations through Pearson’s Correlations, Independent t-test used determine significant difference between the two variables. Chi square test used to find out the association between two variables with their selected socio demographic variables. Results: Findings of the study revealed that 9(30%) and 21(70%) of parent’s had low and normal level of resilience and 30(100%) parents had moderate to severe level care burden of differently abled children respectively. were 15(50%) and 15(50%) of parent’s had low and normal level of resilience and 30(100%) parents had moderate to severe level care burden of chronic disorder children. The co-relation between both variables of differently abled children showed that (r = 0. 149 at p<0.05) significantly mild correlation. And co-relation between both variables of chronic disorder children showed that (r = -0.0757 at p<0.05) significantly mild correlation. The comparison between care burden and resilience of differently abled and chronic disorder children results showed that t = 3.92 and t = 2.94 suggest significant difference in care burden and resilience among both groups at 5% level of significant respectively. There was a signif
