Eight foster parents of children with developmental disabilities (DD) were interviewed about their early adaptation to placement of the child in their homes. Analysis using a grounded theory methodology showed important adaptations in the physiological, role function, interdependence, and self-concept modes of adaptation. Parents described less attention to their own physical health, dominance of the parenting role over all other roles, decreased social interactions, and a sense of personal satisfaction in response to placement of a child with DD in their homes. Implications for nursing practice are included.
八位发育障碍（DD）儿童的养父母接受了访谈，内容是关于他们对孩子安置在自己家中的早期适应情况。采用扎根理论方法进行的分析表明，在生理、角色功能、相互依赖和自我概念适应模式方面有重要的适应情况。父母们表示，他们对自己身体健康的关注减少，育儿角色在所有其他角色中占主导地位，社交互动减少，并且在将患有发育障碍的孩子安置在自己家中后有一种个人满足感。文中还包括了对护理实践的启示。
