| Abstract: | Background: Day-service centres offer valuable support for individuals with intellectual disabilities, often referred to as service-users. Due to potential communication challenges, nurses must gather information from caregivers, particularly mothers. This study explores the collaboration between nurses at day-service centres and the mothers of service-users to enhance care quality. Methods: This qualitative study collected data from six nurses working at day-service centres in Japan and conducted an analysis using a descriptive narrative approach. Each nurse participated in two or three semi-structured interviews, where nurses were encouraged to speak freely, resulting in 16 interviews. Findings: Three key themes emerged from the collaboration between nurses and service-users' mothers: (1) 'building good relationships with parents to ensure a smooth exchange of information about service-users'; (2) 'providing the same care at the day-service centre as the service-user would receive at home'; and (3) 'identifying areas that nurses cannot compromise on while respecting how mothers care for their children'. Conclusions: These findings provide insights into effective nursing care for individuals with intellectual disabilities in day-service centres, emphasising the importance of productive engagement with their mothers. |
