Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The mind and body are closely linked and their relationship can exert influence on health. Studies highlight that psychological problems are more commonly seen among mothers having a disabled child, since the mothers play the major role in child care. Due to the lack of studies addressing on the psycho-physiological issues of the mothers of developmentally disabled children we focused to explore whether there will be any physical complaints specific to these mothers and if their emotion will have any role to these problems and what all are the social issues faced by these mothers. The purpose of the study is to explore the psychological, physiological, and social issues of the mothers of disabled children. The participants are the mothers having child with a developmental disability (Mental Retardation, ADHD, Autism and Cerebral Palsy). The sample consisted of 20 mothers of age ranging from 20 to 60 years. The data was collected through semi- structured interview method and it was analysed using thematic analysis.
