Abstract Congenital gastrointestinal anomalies significantly impact mothers, demanding prolonged hospitalizations and complex caregiving. This study aimed to assess the psychosocial needs and parenting challenges of mothers of hospitalized children with these conditions at ICH, Chennai. Using a non-experimental descriptive design and purposive sampling, 32 mothers were evaluated with Socio-Demographic Data, Parental Challenges Scale, and Psychosocial Needs Scale. Results showed that 53.13% had high to very high psychosocial needs, while 62.5% experienced moderate to high parenting challenges. A significant correlation was found between higher psychosocial needs and increased parenting challenges. Additionally, maternal job roles influenced psychosocial needs, and education levels significantly affected parenting challenges. The findings emphasize the importance of developing targeted interventions and support systems to address these mothers' emotional, social, and financial burdens.
