A qualitative method was used and five interviews were made. Coping theory and crisis theory were used.
The interviews showed that the women experienced mainly practical difficulties. They also had difficulties dealing with the fact that they had a chronic sickness. They experienced that the sickness affected them in both a negative and a positive way. They had made new experiences which were good for both them and the child. Having to take care of the child also helped them to manage the difficulties. But the sickness also brought problems. The women coped with their problems both by making up new solutions to their practical problems and by the help that they received from their families and friends. (Less)
