1Department of Nursing, Seoul Women's College of Nursing, Seoul, Korea.
Purpose:
This study explored experiences of mothers caring for children with precocious puberty.
Methods:

Results:
The following eight types of care experiences of mothers of children with precocious puberty were identified: Type I-1: hypersensitive and best-result oriented, Type I-2: treatment burden, Type II-1: treatment-oriented, Type II-2: self-blame, Type III-1: accepting and compliant, Type III-2: treatment confused, Type IV-1: serious and engaged, and Type IV-2: naturalism-oriented.
Conclusion:
These results can help develop specific education programs based on types of care experiences for the promotion of care among mothers of children with precocious puberty.
