Mothers with cognitive limitations who have children in placement need to be listened to and to receive help in understanding and dealing with their situation. A support programme for this group was developed in Australia and then adapted for use in a Swedish context and named ‘Mamma Trots Allt’ (MTA). The aim was to examine the experiences of these mothers regarding their mothering role after participation in MTA. An explorative and qualitative design was used. Inclusion criteria were mothers with cognitive limitations, a child in placement and participation in MTA. Nine mothers, eight of them from a previous study, gave their informed consent to participate. A study‐specific interview guide was adapted to people with cognitive limitations. The interviews took place after the final MTA session. The qualitative analyses resulted in a description of the mothers' experiences and how they changed after MTA, resulting in an overall theme, two subthemes, four categories and 11 subcategories. MTA facilitated the mothers' maturation and broadened their earlier, stereotypic life expectations. Offering a support programme benefits not only the mother but most likely the child as well.

有认知障碍且有孩子的母亲可以从干预中受益

患有认知障碍的母亲在有孩子的情况下需要倾听并获得帮助，以了解和处理他们的处境。在澳大利亚制定了针对该小组的支持计划，然后将其改编为在瑞典使用，并命名为“ Mamma Trots Allt”（MTA）。目的是研究这些母亲参加MTA后在母亲角色方面的经验。使用了探索性和定性设计。纳入标准为具有认知限制的母亲，安置和参与MTA的孩子。九位母亲，其中八位来自先前的研究，在知情的情况下同意参加。针对特定研究的访谈指南适用于有认知障碍的人。访谈是在MTA最后一次会议之后进行的。定性分析结果描述了母亲的经历及其在MTA之后的变化，从而形成了一个整体主题，两个子主题，四个类别和11个子类别。MTA促进了母亲的成熟，并扩大了她们早期的定型生活期望。提供支持计划不仅使母亲受益，而且也有可能使孩子受益。
