Purpose: The study was conducted to explore the parenting experience of mothers who have defected from North Korean.
Methods: Nineteen mothers who defected from North Korean were recruited in Hanawon and data were collected through face-to-face interviews. Grounded theory methodology developed by Strauss and Corbin (1998) was adapted for theoretical sampling and analysis. Interviews were recorded with consent and transcribed verbatim.
Results: The core category was discovered to be ¡®pursuing positive parenting¡¯. Phenomenon was identified as ¡®acting out of frustration¡¯ and this series of processes was categorized as having four stages: ¡®harsh reality¡¯, ¡®moving forward¡¯, seeking transition¡¯, and ¡®internalization¡¯.
Conclusions: The results indicate that their parenting experiences were in a transition process and, thus, it is critical to develop positive parenting intervention programs as a way to promote the empowerment of these mothers in parenting to help them support themselves and their children.
