The care expectations and psychological impact on primary caregivers of individuals with intellectual disabilities, focusing on a nurse-led intervention with psychotherapy. Using a mixed-methods approach, qualitative data were collected from 5 caregivers and quantitative data from 60 caregivers over a four-week period.
