Abstract:
The current study aims to identify Jordanian mothers' perspectives on their intellectually disabled daughters receiving hysterectomies. A qualitative methodology was employed; for the study sample, twelve mothers were chosen using a snowballing technique. Semi-structured interviews were carried out, and thematic analysis was utilized. Two main themes arose from the data analysis process: the reasons why mothers made the decision for their daughters to have hysterectomies - which included fears about unwanted pregnancy and keeping family honor - despite this conflicting with their religious and cultural values, and their concerns about their daughters having hysterectomies. Based on these findings, some implications and suggestions for future research were provided.
