Abstract The responsibilities of caregiving for children encompass a profound journey characterized by both joy and growth. However, for disabled mothers, this role is often compounded by unique challenges that necessitate enhanced resilience, adaptive strategies, and support. This study explored the lived experiences of mothers with physical disabilities in caring for young children. Through an interpretative approach, the researchers gathered qualitative data from in-depth interviews with mothers with physical disabilities. Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory and Roy's Adaptation Model were utilized in the study. The study was established utilizing the snowball sampling method approach with the referral system and the interpretation of Ricouer along with the theme organization of Van Manen. The study revealed five main themes, which are embodied yearning for independence, essential material needs, adapting family dynamics, wearisome confrontation, and moments of despair. Key findings revealed a profound yearning for independence and autonomy, with participants highlighting daily struggles and the impact of their physical limitations on caregiving. The study underscores the emotional and psychological dimensions of motherhood in the context of physical disability, offering insights into their resilience and adaptive strategies. These findings contributed to a deeper understanding of the intersection between physical disability and parenting. Recommending policy making, implementing programs and support mechanisms to assist mothers with physical disabilities in their caregiving roles.
Keywords interpretive approach, mothers with physical disabilities, parenting challenges, young children.
