The following case describes 5 years of a mother's care for her child with multiple chronic conditions, in the neonatal intensive care unit and at home. Because caregiving is primarily a female activity, a feminist approach is used. This mother's efforts on behalf of her son show how work within the domains of direct medical care, normal mothering care, coordination of equipment and supplies and professionals, and synthesis of meaning emanated from her definition of motherhood. The case suggests interventions in family-centered care, offers an examination of two levels of feminist analysis for their usefulness to occupational therapy, and provides an opportunity to examine the topic of motherhood within feminism.
以下案例描述了一位母亲在新生儿重症监护室及家中对患有多种慢性病的孩子长达五年的照料。由于照料工作主要是女性的活动，因此采用了女性主义视角。这位母亲为儿子所做的努力展示了在直接医疗护理、正常母亲照料、设备及物资与专业人员协调，以及源于她对母性定义的意义整合等领域的工作情况。该案例提出了以家庭为中心的护理干预措施，对女性主义分析的两个层面在职业治疗中的实用性进行了审视，并提供了一个在女性主义范畴内审视母性主题的机会。
