This study explored lived parent-carer experiences of children with physical disabilities in a rural South African setting. Participants were eight parent-carers (female = 8; age range = 40 to 50 years). The parent-carers completed semi-structured face-to-face interviews on the lived experience of caring for their children with physical disabilities. Findings from the thematic analysis suggest perceiving culturally conflicted advice from traditional healers and church leaders. The parent- carers also reported with diminished material and social support resources and transportation difficulties of getting their children to needed services.

南非农村地区残障儿童的父母照顾者：他们的文化和社会资源

这项研究探讨了南非农村地区肢体残疾儿童的亲子照顾生活。参加者有8位父母照顾者（女性= 8；年龄范围= 40至50岁）。父母照料者完成了关于照料肢体残疾儿童生活经验的半结构式面对面访谈。主题分析的结果表明，可以感知到传统治疗师和教会领袖之间存在文化冲突的建议。父母照料者还报告说，他们的物质和社会支持资源减少了，使他们的孩子无法获得所需服务的交通困难。
