Özet
Mothers are the primary caregivers for their children. It is crucial for mothers with physical disabilities to receive professional support in child-rearing, as they often face significant challenges with tasks such as breastfeeding, feeding, bathing, and administering medication. Consequently, these mothers frequently rely on support from family, friends, and neighbors to manage infant care. Given that mothers with physical disabilities are often overlooked by society, it is essential for nurses to provide them with information and help them develop necessary caregiving skills. Nurses are, in fact, the primary source of professional support for mothers in the care of their children. Existing research explores the challenges faced by mothers with physical disabilities across various cultures; however, studies specifically addressing nursing interventions remain limited. In this context, this review examines the difficulties encountered by mothers with physical disabilities in infant care and discusses nursing approaches aimed at mitigating these challenges.
