This study explores the psychological well-being of female caregivers of children with disabilities in low-resource areas of Kenya. Caregiving can be challenging, leading to stress and emotional strain. The research identifies factors that affect caregivers’ well-being and suggests ways healthcare workers can offer support. Simple actions, like using clear language to explain a child’s condition and helping caregivers form support groups, can make a difference. Better training for healthcare and community health workers is needed to strengthen support systems for these caregivers and their children.
