Abstract
Background and Purpose: Birth of a mentally retarded child is a significant challenge in every family and is associated with the
possibility of parental stress and depression. This study aimed to evaluate the self-concept of mothers with educable mentally retarded
(EMR) children.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 40 mothers with EMR children in the only special primary school for these
children in Aran & Bidgol city in Isfahan, Iran. Data were collected using self-concept questionnaires. Data analysis was performed
using descriptive statistics and Fisher’s exact test in SPSS V.13.
Results: In this study, total score of the self-concept of mothers was 29.95±7.60, which was relatively desirable. In addition, a significant
correlation was observed between the age of children (P=0.02) and family income status (P=0.01) with the scores of maternal selfconcept.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, higher family income and increased age of EMR children are associated with higher
self-concept of mothers. It is recommended that future studies be performed on larger sample sizes in this regard.
