“…Most studies describing family or parental experiences of caring for a child with T1DM were conducted in Western settings, including the United Kingdom ( Marshall et al., 2009 ; Rankin et al., 2014 ), United States ( Rearick, Sullivan-Bolyai, Bova, & Knafl, 2011 ; Rechenberg, Grey, & Sadler, 2017 ; Smaldone & Ritholz, 2011 ; Whittemore, Jaser, Chao, Jang, & Grey, 2012 ), and Australia ( Thorsteinsson, Loi, & Rayner, 2017 ). In some countries, a young child’s mother becomes the primary person responsible for disease management until the child develops the maturity and capacity to self-manage ( da Cruz, Collet, de Anrade, da Nobrega, & da Nobreg, 2017 ; Kobos & Imelia, 2015 ). However, studies focused specifically on mothers’ perceptions, experiences, and the impact of having a child diagnosed with T1DM are limited ( Abolhassani, Babaee, & Eghbali, 2018 ; Khandan, Abazari, Tirgari, & Cheraghi, 2018 ; Rechenberg et al., 2017 ; Thorsteinsson et al., 2017 ).…”
