Informants consisted of 12 mothers who were caring for their children with cancer. The data were collected using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and telephone interviews by maximum variation purposive sampling. The data were analyzed following Spradley’s methodology.
Results: The mothers’ caring adjustment were organized into one cultural theme, four categories, and twelve properties. The cultural theme was ’standing alone as a mother with sin’.
