Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This research was conducted to explore the experiences of graduate student women with children fulfilling multiple roles and to generate a substantive theory.
Methods: This study uses the grounded theory method based on Strauss and Corbin(1988)’s method. Interviews were conducted with 11 graduate student women who had children aged three of older.
Results: The core category of this research is ’Role balancing for self-generativity’. Based on the core category, three types of married women graduate students’ experiences were found. They are ’concentrating on graduate-work’ ’postponing graduate-work’ and ’adjustment between two roles’
Conclusions: Through understanding the married women’s multiple roles experience process, there can be a basis for making a women’s health system and social support system for the married women graduate student. Also, this research is to generate a substantive theory which can helps to change social perspectives on the quality of life for the women who will contribute in Korean society as professionals.
