Lived experiences of parenting-related distress in mothers with gynecological cancer: a descriptive phenomenological study
Listen to this summary
This study investigates the lived experiences of parenting-related distress among mothers diagnosed with gynecological cancer, a topic that has been largely overlooked. Through in-depth interviews with 16 mothers, the authors identify key themes related to disrupted maternal identity, renegotiated maternal practices, and reconstructed meanings of motherhood, highlighting the unique challenges these women face in balancing their illness with parenting responsibilities. The findings emphasize the need for healthcare providers to recognize and address this distress to support mothers in maintaining their maternal roles.
