In order to refine the assessment tool, semi-structured interviews were performed for nine nursing professionals who experienced nursing care of children with ASD to examine. The obtained data were categorized with perceptions of similarities. As a result of examining the appropriateness of “the trial of assessment tool”, it was confirmed that the perspectives and contents were appropriate for the understanding of mothers’ conditions and providing supports to mothers. However, some points were recognized as in need of improvement: clarification of usage in assessment, changing abstract expressions in assessment items, additional modification in nursing care,. and necessity of the consideration for development stage in the assessment tool. For further examination of feasibility, examination of appropriateness are required for “the assessment tool to support mothers who waver in the process of notifying their children with autism spectrum disorder of characteristics and diagnostic name”.</p>
