Inductive data analysis were performed to analyze data. Moreover, the criteria of acceptability, verifiability, and transmissibility were used to evaluate the accuracy, validity and reliability of the data.
Results: According to the results, 3 main categories and 8 subcategories were emerged in this study. The theme of “Miracle of Quran's therapy” emerged form “Psycho-physical improvement of mothers and children” subcategory. In addition, the category of “Spiritual growth” was emerged from the subcategories, such as “acceptance and surrender to divine volition”, “heroic return”, and “assurance of existence of patron”. Furthermore, the last category of “comprehensive management” was extracted form subcategories, including “self-management and task-doing”, “situation management”, and “looking ahead”.
Conclusion: Regarding the severity of the CP disease and various difficulties in taking care of children with CP, mothers selected the strategy of reciting the holy Quran.
