Summary:Background: Social factors have an important role in the formation of disabilities and mental and physical disorders. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study. Samples were 494 mothers who had more than one disabled child or normal children and were selected by simple and multistage randomizing method. Data collection tool was a researcher made questionnaire. Results: There was a significant relation between father's job and belonging to the group (p = 0.000), and immigration history, father's job and belonging to the group (p = 0.04). Conclusions: There was a significant relation between immigration history, father's job and belonging to the group (p = 0.04) which means the interaction between immigration history and father's job would increase the risk for having a disabled child (intellectual and physical-mobility disabilities).
