UNASSIGNED: Aim: To explore the stress related to motherhood and its perceived impact on adherence to therapy in @entity1 with @entity1577 ( @entity1577 ). METHODS: Cross-sectional study with a purpose-designed questionnaire. Sample: 46/73 eligible @entity1 were enrolled and 38 returned the questionnaire. Mean age of mothers was 33.8y  7.1y, mean age of firstborn @entity1 was 6.9y  5.7y. Nine @entity1 had more than one biological @entity1 . 18 mothers (47%) were currently employed, 12 of whom worked 19 to 30 hours per week and none full-time. Results: There were mothers who reported a detrimental effect on adherence (time constraints 38%; intentional nonadherence 42%), and mothers who reported that adherence had actually improved (29%). Both of these effects were related to daily @entity1577 therapy at home. By contrast, i.v. antibiotic therapy was less impaired by role strains, mainly due to home i.v. therapy being an alternative and/or due to intensive social support (husband, parents). @entity1 clearly addressed the importance of adherence and the need for adequate self-management in narrative comments. Conclusion: Motherhood may improve adherence to @entity1577 therapy as well as it may affect it negatively. Health caregivers are well-advised to address a possible detrimental effect, proactively.
