PHUMUDZO, Raphulu; SHIRINDI, Modjadji Linda e MAKOFANE, Mankwane Daisy Maria. Mothers caring for children living with cerebral palsy: Suggestions for psycho-social support. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2021, vol.57, n.3, pp.359-375. ISSN 2312-7198. http://dx.doi.org/10.15270/52-2-952.
Caring for children with cerebral palsy presents numerous circumstances which may contribute to mothers' inability to cope with the demands of meeting their children's needs. A qualitative study supported by explorative, descriptive and contextual designs was undertaken. Purposive and snowball sampling facilitated the identification of twelve participants who were interviewed through semi-structured interviews. The enquiry was based on the ecosystems approach. Thematic data analysis was followed through Tesch's eight steps and Guba's model was used for data verification. The findings highlighted the necessity to enhance the psycho-social functioning of mothers through collaboration of social workers, health professionals and various organisations.
