摘要
Parenting is a rewarding challenge to be experienced by any adult, regardless of ability. This small scale qualitative study seeks to understand the experiences of parents with spinal cord injury (SCI) and their use of aids and adaptations in caring for their young children. Twelve parents with SCI were interviewed at either Toronto Rehabilitation Institute in Toronto, or in their homes. Data were analyzed using a grounded theory thematic approach. Themes identified included: (1) Psychosocial Aspect of Parenting, (2) Social Attitudes, (3) Division of Labour, (4) Physical Aspect of Parenting, and (5) Resources and Services. These themes enabled the development of an emerging model for managing childcare. Findings led to recommendations for parents with SCI, healthcare providers, and manufacturers of assistive technology to provide strategies for managing child care, improve access and availability of resources, services, and products.
