Instruments used included a researcher made questionnaire covering socio-demographics and problems (in two domains of social and emotional difficulties) of families with mentally retarded children. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Chi-square and Fisher's exact test). Results: The findings showed that 53.6% of study units had social problems and 57.9% had emotional problems. There was a significant relationship between social problems and child's sex (P=0.006), child’s abnormal behavior (P=0.009), relation of primary caregiver to child (P=0.003), marital status of primary caregiver (P<0.001) mother's job (P=0.03), family income (P=0.004) and the consultative resource of problems (P<0.0001). There was a significant relationship between emotional problems and child’s gender (P<0.0001), child’s retardation (P=0.006), child’s level of independence (P=0.005), child’s abnormal behavior (P<0.001), mother’s job (P=0.003), father’s physical illnesses (P<0.0001), number of family members (P=0.006), family income (P=0.01) and consultative resource in time of problem (P<0.001).
