Abstract

Parents of children with multiple disabilities succumb to stress. This qualitative study explored the case of a mother caring for a child with multiple disabilities. Through interviews with the subject and the significant others, social isolation, emotional, physical, and mental struggles; personal values, financial resources, and community support as coping; and a sense of purpose, resilience, and positive outlook as insights emerged. Future research may use quantitative analyses to validate key themes, replicate the study with different cases, and strengthen evidence-based caregiving interventions.
