Data was collected by using interview schedule as a tool which comprised demographic variables, independent factors (parental knowledge of disease, social and religious factors) and dependent variable (psychosocial burden of beta thalassemia major). The study also revealed that parental knowledge of disease has a significant effect on psychosocial burden of beta thalassemia major among both cousin and non-cousins couples. The lack of knowledge and awareness regarding causes and management of beta thalassemia major, not only aggravates the disease but has a strong impact on social and psychological adjustment of parents of sick children (Abu Shosha and Al Kalaldeh 2018).	./cache/cord-011924-7ofjjwqo.txt	./txt/cord-011924-7ofjjwqo.txt
