Abstract

In recent years, due to the decrease in the rate of childbearing, efforts have been made in the policy system, among which we can mention the plan for the youth of the population and support for the family approved in 2019. The limitation of screening is mentioned in this project. The purpose of this research is to identify the individual-social considerations of eliminating the screening of pregnant mothers before the birth of a child. The method is qualitative and its approach is phenomenology. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with mothers who have a disabled child and who visited the rehabilitation center for speech therapy and occupational therapy classes. The data were classified into two groups, individual and social. Individual issues include educational problems, lack of information and ignorance, feelings and emotions, communication issues. The social part includes social labeling and social support. As a result the presence of a sick child in the family has many effects on all aspects of the life of the family members, especially the mother. It is hoped that the results can be effective in reducing public concerns in such a way that policies related to population increase work more successfully and The psycho-social challenges of the screening of pregnant mothers before the birth of the child should be better answered. In the end, the efforts made will be reflected in the increase of healthy population, Until the correct legislation is realized in line with the interests of the nation and the government.
