“…Tran and colleagues (2009) found that mothers desired more empathy and understanding from healthcare professionals, along with more time to discuss issues related to their children's care.

Thus, the purpose of this study was to illuminate the meanings of support as disclosed by mothers of children with CHD.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to illuminate the meanings of support as disclosed by mothers of children with congenital heart defects (CHD).Design and MethodNarrative interviews were conducted with 10 mothers of children with CHD. A phenomenological-hermeneutic method was used for interpretation of the transcribed interviews.ResultsThe comprehensive understanding of mothers' lived experiences of support emerged as the experiences of receiving good support, receiving “poor support,” and absence of support.Practice ImplicationsMothers receiving person-centered and family-centered care feel more supported and are more likely to adapt to the stresses of parenting a child with CHD.

A definitive versio n was subsequently published as: Design: A qualitative design was used and data were collected using a semi-structured interview format and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Setting:The study took place in community settings in Scotland.Participants: Six mothers with intellectual disabilities were interviewed about their experiences. Measurements and findings:Two super-ordinate themes are discussed with accompanying subthemes: challenges of providing support and how support was delivered. Key conclusions:The mothers valued formal postnatal care, but this was secondary to informal support. How mothers perceived the support impacted on its effectiveness and building effective relationships with professionals presented challenges. Implications for practice:The study suggests the structure and quality of the wider support networks of mothers with an intellectual disability are central and should be taken account of by professionals. Providing information and advice in ways that validates the mother's role is also important, particularly as the mother's perception of how help is given can impact on the degree to which mothers engage with professionals.
