Title
Caring for a young child in a body cast: Impact on the care giver
Abstract
Data from an open-ended questionnaire and the comments section of a structured questionnaire were combined and ana-lyzed to determine the challenges faced and alterations in usual daily activities required by mothers caring for a young child at home in a body cast. The sample consisted of 35 mothers who identified themselves as the primary care givers of a child in a body cast. The challenges of caring for a child in a body cast required major adjustments in almost every aspect of the mothers' lives, including household activities, social and community activities, child care activities, personal care activities, occupational activities, and educational activities. © 1995 National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses.
