Mothers' experiences while admitted to a residential parenting unit: a qualitative study.

Conclusions The value of a residential stay is clearly articulated by the mothers in the stories collected. These themes have affirmed that the residential units are parent-focused. Some mothers were surprised by the nurses' willingness to listen to their preferences about their child's care and to work with them adapting interventions to their cultural and home context. Impact Statement An inclusive, informal and supportive nursing approach was identified by the mothers as enabling and enhancing their ability to parent.
