Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with each participant and analyzed through content analysis and continuous comparison of data. Results: The results of data analysis showed the concept of parental capital with two categories: parents’ personal ability (subcategories: mental and physical ability in care, the ability to communicate with others, belief in the spiritual value of the child) and parental situational resources (subcategories: the socio-economic status of the family, the availability of helping relatives, cooperation and partnership in the family). Conclusion: Parental capital as a supporting factor has an effectiveness on the sense of parents’ dominance on the situation of taking care of child; so، it is important to pay attention to the parents’ capital (internal and external) for educating and home care planning of affected child and family.
